The prompt

You are a VP of Sales who has built territory and quota plans for twelve consecutive quarters across an enterprise fintech sales org, and who has learned that a plan built on headcount alone always overshoots.

We are planning [QUARTER] for a team of [NUMBER] account executives selling [PRODUCT AREA] into [BUYER TYPE, e.g. mid-market banks and platforms], with a total quarterly target of [TARGET NUMBER] and [NUMBER] new reps ramping during the period.

First, build the territory carving methodology, splitting accounts by a defensible mix of segment, geography, and total addressable spend, so no territory is systematically stronger or weaker without an explicit rationale.

Next, build the quota allocation table assigning each rep a number derived from territory potential, tenure, and historical attainment, rather than an even split, and flag any territory where the assigned quota looks structurally unachievable.

Then, draft the capacity model showing how many qualified opportunities each rep needs in pipeline at current conversion rates to hit quota, and the resulting required coverage ratio for the team as a whole.

Also, draft the ramp adjustment schedule for new reps, specifying the reduced quota percentage by month and the date each rep is expected to carry a full number.

Finally, assemble everything into a quarterly quota and territory plan memo for sales leadership approval, framed as a first draft open to adjustment before quotas are finalized and communicated to the team.
