Brian Law​ Thank you for these great pieces, Brian. I would like to share some of your docs with my SalesForce admins who are not in Marketo When I tried to download this one to PDF, the page is cut off. Could adjust it so the PDF will be complete? Great stuff! -Carey

Hi Carey, I am glad you like my articles. I can't figure out how to make the page fit on the PDF. The page size appears to be controlled by the platform. If you post your email address I will be happy to email you some ppt slides. Otherwise you should be able to take a few screen shots. Thanks, Brian.
