<p>Census Benchmark is a customized sales territory analysis data package designed to provide you with a tool to objectively understand the potential within each of your sales territories. It will allow you to much more effectively utilize your own sales data to benchmark the performance of your sales territories relative to actual potential and relative to one another.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why Census Benchmark can make a Difference for You?</span></p>
<p>Sales territories evolve over time for many reasons. Most of those reasons may have made sense at one time, but may no longer applicable. You may have the feeling that some of your sales territories have very different potential than others. Some are perhaps far larger than a single rep can effectively work. Some may be completely maxed out. Until now it was very difficult to quantify these situations, but Census Benchmark allows you to do just that. </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How does Census Benchmark Work</span></p>
<p>You define your sales territories by 3 digit zips, 5 digit zips, counties or states. You also define your target customers, for instance independent optical retailers who dispense eyeglasses. We provide you with a count of the number of optical retail locations fitting your target customer description within each territory and the total estimated annual revenues of those locations. You can then compare this to the number of known customer accounts you have in that territory and use the sales data to evaluate the territories and calculate potential growth in that area.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pricing for Census Benchmark</span></p>
<p>If you can deliver 'gapless' geographic definitions of your sales territories by 3 digit zips, 5 digit zips, counties or states and provide a straight forward definition of your target customers (for instance, optical retail locations, dispensing eyeglasses in groups of locations no more than 5) the price is $2,500. If you subsequently purchase Census within 60 days of your Census Benchmark purchase you will receive $1,000 off that purchase. The price for current Census subscribers is $1,500. </p>
