Learn how to

Grow Your Territory

The School of Territory Management has been developed for Ruud Distributor Territory Managers, who today, are responsible for much more than just taking orders for sales and services. TM’s must be problem solvers, relationship builders and much more. The courses in this school will provide TM’s with a clear and systematic approach to take control of their territory. They will learn how to analyze and grow their current market, analyze and develop new contractors, and set and obtain goals for the development of these contractors. In short, they will be more successful and more profitable!

The curriculum in the master track will provide TM's with knowledge of Ruud products, Ruud product advantages and selling story, and the many selling and marketing tools that are available to contractors. TM's will be able to use this information to build and develop their current Ruud Contractor base and to recruit new contractors to the Ruud line of products.

The master track will also include a SWOT analysis, which is to be conducted with assistance from the Distributor's Ruud Sales representative.

The Master track is available as an online course or as a classroom event. Classroom events are listed to the right or click here to register for the online courses.

The Master track is an essential element in the TM School and must be completed prior to progressing to the Elite track.
