Anyone going to Louisville Farm Show This Year?

I can't make it but a friend of mine is going...told him to keep an eye out for new tillage machines.

Just gotta say - we went to the Louisville show about 4 years ago, and the difference between how we are treated as farmers in Ontario, compared to how we were treated when we identified ourselves as farmers in the US was incredible!!

Rather than treating sales territories as geographical boundaries or a route for sales reps to drive around, Weber presents a mathematical approach to defining, segmenting and staffing territories based on market data, customer value and call capacity math.  “I don’t care if the territories are geographical. I don’t care how they are,” he says. “But we have to assign the territory. We have to have territories for these individuals.”  By replacing guesswork with real data, dealership leaders can transform sales reps from passive into proactive people who manage their assigned market potential.  The Trade Area Formula  The foundation of Weber’s territory model is built on calculating the market size within a dealership’s geographical boundari
