Lots of territories here. There's a Hostess guy who covers all the local grocery stores, mini-marts, etc. I see him at the gas station once in a while. Never talked to him, but he seems like a nice enough guy.

There's an Interstate Batteries territory here. I only ever see the truck driving around, never parked, so, no idea who the driver is or if he seems nice or not.

Oh yeah... Snap On, Mac Tools... they have drivers with territories around here. I not only see them frequently, I have talked to some of them and even bought a few tools now and then. They all seem like decent guys, but then, if I was selling pliers for $75, I'd probably be pretty nice too.

I know the beer distributors all have drivers with territories in this area. I see the beer trucks all the time. I took a picture of the Miller Light truck one time. I know if it's beer business, you're not supposed to talk about it outside the bar, so I was a little worried the driver might say something to me about taking a picture of the truck, but he didn't. I noticed there was a guy wearing a Budweiser jacket standing not too far from me. I thought the Miller Light guy might beat his *** and make him take the jacket off, but he didn't seem to notice. Good thing. It could have gotten *really* ugly.

Being in sales, I have a territory, but I don't wear a patch or anything so none of my competitors know who I am when I run into them. That's cool because I always stop and talk to them for a while and get a bunch of good intel on what they are doing.

I'm sure there are a lot more reps/drivers with territories around here, but...

Yea, that was a good answer.... My post was pretty lame after reading MidnitEvil's!

Really, does it matter what territories we're in. Doesn't matter to me now that I think about it.
