The biggest temptation in ABM? Trying to boil the ocean. Jim Gilkey knows that fast results don’t mean massive programs. That’s why he sat down with Katie Frank, growth marketer at Shortcut, to show you how proof-of-concept starts with targeted, one-to-one campaigns. Katie explains why you need to push back—respectfully—on leaders demanding “big bang” ABM, and how virtual events (think wine tastings or cocktail classes) turn your brand champions into your best salespeople. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to launch a small ABM pilot, iterate on early wins, and build momentum before scaling to one-to-many.
