“Where are the freaking meetings?” It’s the question every marketer hears — and the one that defines real accountability in B2B marketing. On this solo episode of Scrappy ABM, host Mason Cosby breaks down how to measure success across every stage of an ABM program so you can focus on the right goals at the right time.
Rather than chasing meetings too early, Mason introduces the account progression model, a six-stage framework — from awareness through opportunity — that helps marketers understand where buyers really are in their journey. He shows how to align metrics with intent, track engagement meaningfully, and report results that earn credibility with both sales and executives.
If you’ve ever struggled to connect marketing activity with pipeline, this walkthrough gives a clear, practical map for knowing what to measure, when to report it, and how to prove your impact at every stage.
