DEAR DR. DAM: My name is Ted and I'm the marketing manager of a company with a small marketing department. Our sales network is very spread out. We rely on remote salespeople, and nationwide distributors and dealers to sell product. They rely on our marketing materials to help them do it. Sometimes, I almost feel like we're working in the dark...I need a better handle on what materials are used, where and when they're used, and who's using them. Do you know of a solution? Basically, I want to know who's got my stuff?
