Most ABM programs stall not because the channels are wrong, but because nothing is designed to actually move accounts forward. This episode of Scrappy ABM pulls from the live Q&A section of one of Mason Cosby's ABM in a Day workshops, and the questions are exactly the ones practitioners get stuck on: how to define account progression stages, how long to run a re-engagement playbook before giving up, and what a real conversion mechanism looks like when you're running lean.

The episode wraps with a live program teardown with a workshop attendee, walking through her actual ABM stack channel by channel. It's the kind of honest, real-time problem solving that reveals where most scrappy programs break down.
