Territory Design (Sales Analysis)

Sales people have a finite amount of selling capacity.  Customers and prospects have coverage requirements.  The correct assignment of customers and prospects to members of the sales force can improve sales performance from 10% to 30%, without any incremental cost. Understanding the potential of each territory can help companies match the best opportunities to the most capable sales people.
