Share Customer Maps with Your Sales Team

The most effective sales operations combine geographic intelligence with team collaboration to ensure every rep has access to customer maps, territory information, and location intelligence that drives better field activities and customer engagement.

If your customer maps exist only on one person's screen, in static reports, or in formats that can't be shared with field teams, you're missing the collaborative value that helps reps understand their territories, plan activities, and make informed decisions on the road. That's why sales leaders ask: can we share customer maps with the sales team so each rep can see their accounts, plan visits, and access location intelligence wherever they work?

With Atlas, you can create shared customer maps that provide each team member with the geographic intelligence they need. No complex permissions setup, no IT involvement required, no barriers to getting maps into the hands of people who can use them. Everything starts with your customer map and simple sharing that enables team-wide geographic awareness.

Here's how to set it up step by step.

Creating shared customer maps enables better field operations and more informed sales activities across distributed sales teams.

So sharing customer maps isn't just convenient distribution—it's essential team infrastructure that transforms individual geographic intelligence into organizational capability.

Atlas makes it easy to share maps with appropriate access controls:

Set sharing level choosing between team-only access, organization-wide sharing, or specific user permissions
Configure view permissions determining whether users can view, edit, or manage the shared map
Define data visibility controlling what customer information each user can see based on role or territory
Enable link sharing creating shareable URLs that provide access without individual permission setup
Set up password protection adding security for maps containing sensitive customer information

Once configured, your sharing settings establish how team members can access and interact with customer maps.

Step 2: Create Territory-Filtered Views for Individual Reps

Next, set up views that show each rep only their relevant customers:

You can create different filtered views:

Territory-based filtering showing each rep only customers within their assigned geographic territory
Rep assignment filters displaying customers based on ownership fields in your data
Region-level views creating views for regional managers that show all customers in their area
Performance-filtered views enabling views that highlight specific customer segments or priorities
Role-based dashboards configuring different default views based on user role and needs
Custom saved views allowing users to create and save their own filter configurations

Each filtered view provides relevant geographic intelligence without overwhelming users with information outside their scope.

Step 3: Enable Mobile Access for Field Teams

To support sales reps working in the field:

Configure mobile viewing ensuring maps display well on phones and tablets for field use
Enable location services allowing reps to see their current position relative to customers
Optimize for connectivity ensuring maps remain useful even with intermittent mobile connections
Set up quick access creating bookmarks or app shortcuts for instant map access
Test field functionality verifying that critical features work well in mobile field conditions

Mobile access transforms customer maps from office resources into field intelligence that travels with your team.

Step 4: Train and Support Team Adoption

To ensure successful team adoption of shared maps:

Create usage guides documenting how reps should access and use customer maps in their workflow
Conduct training sessions walking team members through map features and best practices
Establish use cases defining specific scenarios where maps add value to sales activities
Gather feedback collecting input from users to improve map design and sharing configuration
Provide ongoing support ensuring team members can get help when they encounter issues

Team adoption ensures that shared maps deliver value across the organization rather than remaining unused.

Step 5: Maintain and Update Shared Maps

To keep shared customer maps current and valuable:

Schedule data updates planning regular refreshes to keep customer information current
Communicate changes notifying team members when significant map updates occur
Review sharing settings periodically checking that permissions still align with team structure
Archive outdated versions managing historical maps while ensuring current data is prominent
Monitor usage tracking how team members engage with maps to identify adoption opportunities

Step 6: Integrate Shared Maps with Sales Workflows

Now that customer maps are shared with the team:

Connect to CRM linking map views to customer records in your sales system
Embed in dashboards including map views in sales dashboards and reporting tools
Enable planning workflows using maps in territory review, account planning, and team meetings
Support field activities integrating maps with route planning and visit scheduling
Create presentation materials using shared maps in team meetings and customer presentations

Your shared maps become part of comprehensive sales workflows that leverage geographic intelligence across team activities.

Use Cases

Sharing customer maps with sales teams is useful for:

Field sales managers providing reps with territory views and customer location intelligence
Inside sales teams enabling geographic awareness for phone-based customer engagement
Regional directors sharing market overviews with distributed teams across regions
Sales operations distributing territory maps and coverage analysis to field teams
Account executives accessing customer geography during planning and customer meetings

It's essential for any sales organization where geographic intelligence improves field activities and customer engagement.

Tips

Optimize for mobile ensuring maps work well on the devices your field team actually uses
Update regularly keeping shared maps current so team members trust the information they see
Train effectively investing in adoption support so maps become part of daily workflows
