Territory Management: Allocating Calls for Maximum Productivity

Every successful sales representative is also a successful manager.  You must carefully manage your time, your accounts, and your territory as a whole to be as effective and productive as possible.

Good management of your territory and your accounts impacts your commissions—and your company’s profits. It enables your firm to get good intelligence on the marketplace, to control the business, to have the right inventory when it’s needed, and to be in the best position to help you serve your customers.
