Resource Allocation Framework

1. Sales Team Distribution Audit Immediate

Compare current sales team allocation vs. segment TAM. Reallocate top talent to data centers, energy, and pharma segments where growth is highest.

  • Map current headcount by segment: Industrial vs. Commercial coverage
  • Target allocation: 63% industrial focus (matching TAM distribution)
  • Identify top performers currently assigned to declining segments
  • Create transition plan: 90-day reassignment to high-growth segments
  • Define success metrics: Revenue per rep, win rate by segment
💡 Recommended Allocation
Resource Optimization
Energy 35%
Data Ctr 20%
Pharma 15%
Commercial 30%

Key Insight: Current allocation likely 50%+ commercial. Shift 20% of commercial resources to high-growth industrial segments by Q2 2026.

Regional Branch Target Setting
Q1 Planning Cycle
Q1 Priority

Set segment-specific targets for each region based on local market composition. Gulf is energy-heavy, West is data center-heavy.

  • Gulf Region: 70% industrial targets (refining, chemicals, LNG)
  • West Region: 60% data center + power focus
  • Northeast: 55% pharma/biotech + commercial balance
  • Southeast: Balanced 50/50 industrial/commercial
  • Canada: 65% energy/mining focus
