Territory Management — Under 100 People
What This Process Does
Territory management at this size is divvying up the market fairly among reps so each has a clear, equitable opportunity to hit quota. You have 1–10 AEs; territories are typically split by geography (AE-East, AE-West), segment (SMB/Mid-Market/Enterprise), industry vertical (FinServ/Retail/Healthcare), or named-account lists (ABM motion). Rebalancing happens 1–2× per year as team grows or coverage needs change. The founder or VP Sales designs + owns territories.
The work: define coverage fairly, align quota to territory opportunity, assign accounts cleanly, and handle the inevitable overlaps + reassignments. At this size, bad territory design = rep frustration, account-ownership conflicts, and revenue left on the table. Good design = every rep clear on who's theirs, accounts with single-owner clarity, and quotas that reflect territory opportunity (not guessed numbers).
