Alper GondikenGTM Strategy Leader in the agentic era
Bio

I'm a GTM Transformation Strategist. I help Series B-D B2B SaaS companies redesign their go-to-market strategy for competitive advantage in the AI era as AI changed buyer behavior — I help from sales team structure to pricing models to customer engagement. Most recently I've built Bloomreach's AI-powered GTM architecture saving 1000+ hours quarterly and improving win rates by 4% - only within 3 months.

1) Adoption: It's really easy to build AI content or AI agents now. One of the easiest ways to look impressive these days is to show the walls of text an agent outputs. But people don't read any of these, and adoption stays low. There's good work to be done on background agent development where agents already complete tasks.

2) Signal: Again, content is easy to produce, but quality is extremely low in many AI solutions out there now. We've seen this first-hand with Glean. There's a good bit of context-engineering needed to get strong signals. See more here:

3) Build vs Buy: This depends on a lot of factors like internal talent, budget, etc but ultimately I've found build vs buy decisions are pretty different for AI SaaS vendors vs other SaaS vendors. It's very important to maintain control through connectability while also remove some of the technical ownership from internal shoulders. See more here:
