Translate policy on sales territory management into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.
Building Strategies to Manage Geographic Sales Territories
A concise, decision-focused programme covering sales territory management end to end.
Course Overview
Most disappointing results in sales territory management trace back to an audience defined too broadly. Attribution in the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda is imperfect; that is not a reason to stop measuring it. Participants leave with a method for this part of marketing and commercial practice, not a set of opinions about it. The difficulty is not agreeing that sales territory management matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the marketing and commercial practice discipline, not for observers of it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the practice within marketing and commercial practice is working and when it is only appearing to. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place sales territory management among the areas with the widest performance spread. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this strand of marketing and commercial practice rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this area of marketing and commercial practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
