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.
