Online course: B2B Sales-Marketing Alignment
Align marketing, sales and leadership: Increase pipeline quality and go-to-market efficiency.
Instructor: Mason Cosby
Founder of Scrappy ABM
When Sales, Marketing, and Leadership don’t speak the same language, leads get lost, messaging gets diluted, and your GTM strategy underperforms.
This course gives you a practical framework to align faster, close more deals, and scale smarter in today’s AI-fueled, high-pressure environment.
- Align Sales and Marketing around shared KPIs, dashboards, and revenue targets
- Learn how to translate Marketing strategy into Sales value (and vice versa)
- Bridge the gap with Leadership by framing marketing in terms of strategic business value
- Balance brand building and sales activation so neither gets deprioritized
- Spot the hidden misalignments in Sales compensation, ICP definition, and pipeline expectations

Misalignment isn’t just frustrating – it’s expensive.
If Marketing is optimizing for reach while Sales is scrambling to hit quota, and Leadership doesn’t know how to measure Marketing’s impact, you’re not aligned – and in today’s AI-driven market, that kind of misalignment kills growth.
This course breaks the cycle by showing you how to build trust with Sales by understanding what they need (and how they get paid), reframe Marketing in terms leadership respects (outcomes, not activity), and balance short-term sales activation with long-term brand growth. You’ll learn how to build sales activation playbooks that create a predictable pipeline and translate your strategy into business outcomes everyone can rally around – so your go-to-market plan becomes something cross-functional teams believe in and execute.

Being around curious minds, leaving inspired to test, putting ideas into practice. having conversations that sharpen your thinking, asking (a lot of) questions, sorry, not sorry…
The SEO + n8n session gave me a lot to think about… honestly, I feel like a machine.”

“How is AI affecting the role of a marketer? I have seen this question asked a hundred times and rarely seen a credible answer. CXL ran a webinar this week that actually delivered one.
It had a bit of a cold shower effect, just data and a clear-eyed look at where things are.”

“CXL changed my life. I’m not exaggerating, it actually did…
I got so deep in the content that a year later, in a completely unexpected turn of events, I was hired by Speero. Boom. Easily a 50x ROI right there.
CXL doesn’t mess around. They prioritize quality over quantity to make a real impact on your career.”
