Territorial

Explanation:

Territorial sales force structure refers to a sales force organisation in which each salesperson is allocated to an exclusive geographical area to sell the company's full line of products or services. The territorial sales force structure has many advantages.

First, it clearly defines the salesperson's job, since only one salesperson covers the particular geographical area he or she gets all the credit or the blame for territory sales.

Second, the territorial structure improves the salesperson's drive to create local business connection which will in turn, improve the salesperson's selling effectiveness.

Finally, because each salesperson travels within a small geographic area, travel expenses tend to be low.
