I totally agree with you. Even posting this and giving food for thought for the long hours in the tratctor ahead will hopefully stir communication amongest the families that will benefit them in some way.

Be safe and have a great season.

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.
