You're confusing separate jurisdictional issues. Personal jurisdiction is relevant to the underlying lawsuit, because it can nullify a judgement.
Personal jurisdiction isn't very relevant to an enforcement proceeding, as presumably it is filed in the state in which the defendant is located. For a business, this generally means any state in which it is incorporated, registered as a foreign corporation, or has facilities such as (but not limited to) offices or factories. If a court doesn't have personal jurisdiction over a defendant in an enforcement proceeding, that simply means the plaintiff needs to file again in the proper venue.
My first paragraph was badly written, so perhaps made it look like I was talking about the enforcement proceeding to collect whatever was won in the underlying lawsuit.
The intent, though, was to talk about the underlying lawsuit, and the effect of a lack of personal jurisdiction of that court over the defendant.
