Build the Workflow, Buy the Risk

Build the Workflow, Buy the Risk26 sept.33 min

Just because you CAN build it with AI... should you? That's the question QuotaPath's RevOps lead is asking — and his answer might surprise you.

Brandon Smith, Director of RevOps and AI Operations at QuotaPath, joins Matthew Volm to break down the real build vs. buy calculus for RevOps teams in the AI era. They cover how QuotaPath replaced a $50K/year vendor with an internally built tool, why commissions are the *last* thing you should vibe-code, and how to use "blast radius" to decide what's safe to build vs. what you should always buy.
