“PDR is not a traditional agency model. We become part of your team, learn the nuances of the brand and culture, we know each venue and every locale is different. We’re day to day in the actual outbound sales motion, generating new leads, compiling the data and making sure our system is the most innovative in the market. The goal is not just more activity. The goal is a system the team can actually run and be held accountable to.”
