Sellers have some marketing materials they can use, but they frequently end up making their own content when they need it.

Content is developed based primarily on requests from sellers or front-line managers. They may not have what they need now, but they will next time.

Content is produced to support sellers in expected selling motions and anticipated obstacles. It’s kept in a central repository, but to be honest, sellers don’t use it as much as they should.
