Territory Planning: Design Fair, Productive Territories

Bad territory design kills sales teams. Unfair workload, high turnover, resentment. Smart territory planning builds equity and performance.

Why Territory Design Matters

Unfair workload drives turnover. If one rep gets all the big accounts and another gets none, the latter quits.

Misaligned incentives create conflict. Reps fight over accounts. Gaming rules. Quota gaming instead of pipeline building.

Unbalanced growth creates chaos. Adding headcount without redesigning territories means some reps lose accounts. Resentment.

Territory Design Approaches

Geographic

Divide by region: North, South, East, West. Simple. Works for regional businesses.

Account-Based

Divide by existing accounts. Vertical or horizontal account mapping. Works for enterprise.

Vertical/Industry

Divide by industry: Tech, Finance, Healthcare. Builds deep expertise.

Hybrid

Combine geography and account size. Account execs get big accounts. SDRs work regions.
