FREE SEMINAR: Painless Sales Territory Planning, 29th Jan 2009 PDF Print E-mail

Wendover, Bucks

Synopsis

The allocation of customers, prospects and territories to sales representatives is understandably an emotive issue. 

Changes in the customer base, geographic changes to the market size, mergers and acquisitions and changes to the number of sales staff can all work to unbalance a set of  territories that might have been satisfactory in the past.

Unfortunately, the status quo can often be a huge hinderance on meeting the organisation's true sales potential and making change happen can upset many an apple cart.

A transparent and fair approach to creating and redesigning territories is called for in order to create a world in which territories are balanced and give each representative equal opportunity and potential.

This seminar explains the issues involved in designing territories which can be seen to be fair and which optimise market potential. 

 

Location: The Wendover Group's offices in Wendover, Bucks.
