Is your existing pdf playbook struggling to deliver?

Is it a pain to keep the playbook pdf up to date with all the changes that occur, forcing your marketing team to daily distribute updated plays to your sales team?
It's time for a pivot on your existing sales and marketing playbook. Ditch the thick pdf playbook with the multi-page index and replace it with a living document your direct sales teams and dealer sales reps will actually want to use. If you need ideas or don't know where to start, we've got you covered.
