Reps leave. Retirements, promotions, resignations, it’s part of running a sales force, and when it happens you need to take that person off their territories cleanly. In AlignMix it’s a quick edit, but the removal is the easy part; the coverage question around it is what actually matters.
Removing the Rep
Open the edit sales reps button, select the rep you want to remove, and delete them from their assigned territories. The territory itself stays exactly as it was, ZIP codes, accounts, boundaries all intact; you’ve just detached the person from it. That leaves you with an open territory to cover.

The Part That Actually Matters: Coverage
Deleting the rep is thirty seconds. Deciding who covers their customers is the real work. You have a few options while the seat is open. You can assign the whole territory to a neighbor temporarily. You can split it, handing the key accounts to nearby reps as account overrides so relationships stay warm until a replacement starts. Or, if the departure is permanent, you can merge the territory into an adjacent one. Whichever you choose, the map keeps the coverage visible so nothing falls through the cracks, and when the replacement arrives you add them and reverse the temporary moves.
