    #964 Matt Tomlinson: 🤖 AI vs. Automation: What MSPs Need to Get Right
    Oct 28 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat happens when AI starts doing the repetitive work inside an MSP—but still cannot replace the human qualities customers sometimes need most?Matt Tomlinson, Senior Director of MSP Partnerships at Fixify, joins Joey Pinz for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, automation, sales, leadership, MSP operations, and the human side of technology.Matt has lived on both sides of the MSP/vendor relationship, and that experience shapes how he thinks about technology adoption. He argues that AI should take repetitive work off people’s plates rather than simply eliminate people. In Tier 1 support, that could give technicians more room to develop into higher-skilled roles. Matt Tomlinson-transcript Part …Matt also challenges one of technology’s most important questions: when is an automated outcome enough, and when does a customer genuinely need another human being? His answer comes back to empathy—something he believes remains part of what an MSP sells. Top 3 Highlights🤖 AI ≠ Automation: Why MSPs need to understand the difference.🧠 The human advantage: Where empathy still makes human involvement necessary.🎯 Sell outcomes, not features: Matt’s core sales philosophy is understanding what someone is actually trying to accomplish. --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    Send us Fan Mail🎯 Great features can win attention. But what happens when a competitor builds the same thing tomorrow?Sienna Quirk, Head of Marketing at Thread, joins Joey Pinz at Thread’s AI Service Unleashed event in Seattle to explore why MSP marketing needs more than a product checklist. Drawing on her background in product marketing and the Salesforce ecosystem, she explains how businesses can connect what they build to what customers actually value.From her Santa Cruz punk-rock roots to Thread’s rebellious brand, Sienna shares why differentiation should run through the company—not just its website. She also explains why sales, marketing, and customer success need a continuous feedback loop, with revenue goals and customer expectations guiding the message.🔑 Top 3 Highlights:• Beyond the feature list: Why competitors can copy functionality, and what gives buyers another reason to choose you.• One product, different priorities: How owners, service desk managers, and technicians need different conversations.• Urgent doesn’t always mean important: How to protect priorities by asking whether a request truly needs to happen today.The conversation also covers AI-assisted content creation, questions to ask before adopting an AI platform, and the surprising openness of the MSP community.#MSPMarketing #ProductMarketing #SalesAndMarketing #BuyerPersonas #Leadership --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    #962 Thread AI Service Unleashed 2026: Mark Alayev - 🤖 Why MSPs Must Rethink Their Business for AI
    Oct 28 2026
    Send us Fan Mail🤖 What happens when the service desk that built your business starts becoming a commodity?Mark Alayev, CEO and founder of Thread, joins Joey Pinz to explore AI for MSPs, the future of managed services, and the leadership decisions that determine whether a company adapts or falls behind.Recorded at Thread’s Seattle event, this conversation moves from Mark’s family restaurant roots to his journey building Chat Genie into Thread. He explains why customer service remains central to his work—and why adopting an AI platform cannot compensate for undocumented processes or weak change management.Mark shares why MSPs should use AI internally before selling it to customers, how vertical specialization could shape their next chapter, and why he is reconsidering the role of traditional PSA software. He also discusses returning to the CEO role, protecting family weekends, and changing his mind after listening to customers.🔑 Top 3 Highlights:• Build capability before selling AI: Learn internally before promising results externally.• Document before automating: Clear processes give AI something useful to execute.• Lead through difficult choices: Put the right people in the right roles and say no when necessary.An honest conversation for MSP owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders navigating growth without losing their purpose.#MSP #AIForMSPs #Leadership #ManagedServices #BusinessGrowth --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.
