When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when accounts (and their deals) can change territory, for example after a company updates its address, its size crosses a segmentation threshold, or a restructuring redraws territory lines.
  • Use it as a review-and-flag mechanism, this fiche checks alignment, the actual reassignment to a new owner is a separate action, either manual or built with the rotation pattern from the lead-routing category.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if territory almost never changes after a deal is created in your business, in that case the flagged volume will be near zero and the build is not worth the maintenance.
  • Do not use it as a substitute for a proper round-robin reassignment workflow, this fiche tells you ownership is misaligned, it does not pick the new correct owner for you.
