Scrappy ABM: Account-Based Marketing Without the $200K Tech Stack
w/ Mason Cosby
Hosted by Peter Wheeler · 50 min
Show Notes
Mason Cosby founded Scrappy ABM on a simple premise: you shouldn't need to spend $200,000 on a tech stack before you know if ABM actually works for your business. A career spent bouncing between selling marketing, marketing sales, and marketing marketing has given him a hard-won perspective on what makes ABM programs actually generate revenue — and it starts with audience clarity, not tooling. He makes marketing a profit center, not a loss center.
Key Takeaways
Prove the ABM motion before investing in the tech stack — not the other way around
ABM is not corporate gifting with a fancier acronym — it requires genuine audience specificity
Marketing should be a profit center with measurable revenue attribution, not overhead
Starting in sales first makes you a better marketer — you understand what reps actually need
