What is a Sales Territory?
A sales territory is a defined segment of the market assigned to a specific rep or team. Territories can be based on geography, industry vertical, company size, named accounts, or a combination.
Types of Territory Models
- Geographic: Regions or countries
- Industry/Vertical: Healthcare, manufacturing, SaaS
- Account size: Enterprise, mid-market, SMB
- Named accounts: Specific target account lists
- Hybrid: Combination of multiple factors
Why Territory Design Matters
Poor territory design causes uneven workloads, missed quotas, and rep turnover. Companies that optimize territories see 15-20% higher revenue and more equitable quota attainment across teams.
Common Mistakes
- Creating territories based solely on geography without considering opportunity density
- Not rebalancing territories as the market evolves
- Allowing territory conflicts between reps
