Sales territory alignment is an important part of the sales strategy in any organization. It helps to significantly improve sales, optimally divide the workload among Sales Reps, reduce drive time, improve customer service, etc. To gain the maximum benefit out of their Sales territories, organizations keep re-evaluating and re-aligning sales territories on a regular basis.
