    Make the Process the Accelerator, Not the Tool (with Josh Gainey) | Ep. 203

    SDR teams that were well fed by inbound are now shifting from qualification to outbound prospecting. On Scrappy ABM, host Mason Cosby sits down with Josh Gainey, the Go Market lead over at Kasm Technologies, to break down a practical outbound playbook: start with the right SDR hire profile, define who not to target, and align on an A / C / F grading scale that everyone—SDR and AE—buys into. Josh unpacks “freedom within a framework,” why the process should be the accelerator, not the tool, and how a simple rhythm across LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Outreach, and Salesforce can book the right meetings without burning accounts. From first messages that hit the top three points to moving fast from LinkedIn to calendar, proof of concept momentum, and becoming a manager of managers, this conversation lays out what was awesome, what was hard, and the lessons teams can apply—whether inbound or outbound. 👤 Guest BioJosh Gainey is the Go Market lead over at Kasm Technologies. Before Kasm Technologies, he built a fantastic outbound program over at Authenticate and scaled from two or three SDRs—where he was one of them—to leading a team of 25 to 30 SDRs in two and a half years. Josh is active on LinkedIn and there every day. 📌 What We CoverWhy the right SDR hire profile matters before calling anybody—and finding people willing to do hard workUsing negative attributes to decide who not to target and prevent AE distrustThe A / C / F grading model: titles, size, industry, engagement, budget, workflow, multiple team members, and proof of conceptGetting AE buy-in so “everybody did their job” and mapping grades in the CRM to closed-won, deal cycle, and deal sizeChannel mix kept simple: LinkedIn first, plus ZoomInfo, Outreach, Salesforce, and Sales Navigator—manual over automation“Process be the accelerator, not the tool” and why scaling what doesn’t work burns accounts in cybersecurityFirst-message approach: straightforward, a little personalized, and the top three points (e.g., dark web access, off-network special web access, managed attribution)Moving fast from interest to work email to calendar invite, and confirming 24 hours beforeMeasuring success: more A meetings, enterprise opportunities, and onboarding ramp speedPromotions and morale: SDR paths to renewals, account executive, and account managementUnexpected roadblocks: shifting into a manager of managers, attrition, and tying compensation to performanceStakeholder buy-in beyond sales: bring in product managers, engineering, CSAM, and the head of sales for executive exposure and culture building 🔗 Resources MentionedLinkedInSales NavigatorZoomInfoOutreachSalesforceAuthenticateKasm TechnologiesScrappy ABM: Visit for more ABM tips and strategies.Connect with Mason on LinkedIn for a conversation about ABM If you enjoyed today’s episode and found valuable insights for your business, be sure to subscribe to the Scrappy ABM podcast for more expert discussions.

    Shockingly honest lessons: contractors, W2s, and turning down six–seven million | Ep. 202

    Scrappy ABM host Mason Cosby sits down with Nick Bennett on 1,000 Routes and tells the story behind a “little teeny tiny side hustle” that became “sold a million bucks” and then “another million” within months. Starting with a $25,000 win in March 2023 and a $150,000 deal that “backed out,” Mason lays out “project revenue,” the activation playbook, an $80,000 annual contract, and why “less is more” with “two service lines.” It’s all inbound from LinkedIn and a podcast, plus “speaking engagements,” saying yes to interviews, and an “absurd number of webinars”—including 60 podcast interviews and 18 webinars in ~60 days that created over $2 million in pipeline. He gets “shockingly honest” about 120 hour weeks, a postpartum spouse editing podcasts, firing seven contractors, moving to W2s, and then learning seasonality and sales cycles. Mason explains why a debt free approach matters, how he’s scaling out for a two-month paternity leave, and why he turned down six to seven million to stay focused on a mission: equip a million marketers with repeatable account-based playbooks by January 2035.

    ABM Retrospective: The Good, the Bad, and the Pipeline | Ep. 196

    ABM is a trust engine, but building it right takes patience, sponsorship, and more groundwork than most expect. In this live episode of Scrappy ABM, host Mason Cosby sits down with Ryan Gunn and Amanda “Chuck” Palmarchuk for a full retrospective on an ambitious ABM program launched in late 2020. Together, they revisit a program that started with $0 pipeline after six months and ultimately influenced $7M within 18 months. They unpack what worked — executive sponsorship, a sharply defined target account list, and tightly documented operations — and where they’d hit rewind: overinvesting in tech, misaligned expectations, and the pain of forcing MQLs into a sales pipeline. Whether you’re building ABM from scratch, stuck in the middle, or scaling with momentum, this conversation reveals both the early signals that matter and the long-game reality required to see real impact. 👤 Guest BiosRyan Gunn is the founder of Attribution Academy, an education platform helping HubSpot users learn how to tie marketing activity to revenue.
