Whether your sales team are on the road, in the office or both, there is usually a 200% difference between the real potential available in the smallest and the largest territories. This means that your ace sales performer may be no better than any of his colleagues, he may just have a much larger pond to fish in. Similarly, your worst sales performer may simply have a territory that is so geographically spread out that he spends too much of his time driving from meeting to meeting.		12 sales territories with large inequalities that wasted opportunities, increased ‘time in the car’ and made targets unworkable		A redesigned territory solution that equalised workload, minimised drive-times and increased average territory yield by 8%
