Territory Management
Territory Management is the strategic and operational practice of designing, assigning, monitoring, and periodically rebalancing the market coverage structure of a sales organization. Decisions include how to define territory boundaries, how to balance quota and opportunity fairly across territories, how to handle accounts that span multiple territories, and when to restructure territories as the business grows or market dynamics change. CRM territory management functionality enables these decisions to be operationalized systematically: territory hierarchies reflect coverage models, automated assignment rules eliminate manual account routing, and territory performance reports provide the data needed to identify imbalances and support annual territory planning exercises.

CRM territory features operationalize all of this: hierarchies reflect the coverage model, automated assignment removes manual routing, and territory performance reports surface imbalances for annual planning.
