Weight by number of accounts example

Weight by tier A accounts for senior reps

Scenario: You want to distribute tier A accounts across five territories, but you want to give more accounts to senior reps.

Configuration:

  • Number of territories to build: 5

  • Set Weight Criteria: Static values: 50, 20, 20, 5, 5

  • Set filter criteria: [fio_Tier] Equals ‘A’

Result: Autogenerates five nodes where 50% of the accounts are assigned to the first node, 20% to the second and third nodes, and 5% to the fourth and fifth nodes. The majority of accounts will be given to the rep you assign to the first territory.
