– Essential fields – Really?
– Limited real estate
– “Above the fold”
Think About “Clickability”
– Buttons are easier to tap than links.

who could assist their teams with questions
• After rollout to 200+ sales reps, we held 3 training sessions over 2
days, and continue to hold monthly training sessions
• Provided training documents & on-demand training videos
