The objective is to make sure sales territories are balanced to help increase revenues. As a result, sales territory design is a critical process for your sales performance management (SPM).

I have never understood why we, as sales managers and leaders, allow sales people to believe this is an allowable best practice. It hurts everyone, including the sales rep. The Sandbagging Hero . If a sales rep is constantly sandbagging, then it means they are either not very good at forecasting or think they can game the system.
