Saving Sales Time with Smarter Routes ft. Steve Benson

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast , Bryan Neale welcomes Steve Benson, founder of Badger Maps, for a conversation on why outside sales teams are often overlooked by modern sales technology — and what happens when tools are finally built with field sellers in mind. Bryan and Steve dig into the realities of territory design and route planning, calling out how many sales leaders still rely on gut feel and educated guesses when structuring territories. Steve explains how Badger Maps and Badger Align help sales teams visualize customers geographically, balance territories using real data, and create more efficient routes that lead to more meetings and measurable sales lift. They also explore why mobile-friendly CRM tools matter so much for outside sellers, and how removing friction from data entry in the field directly impacts performance. The conversation expands into Badger Maps’ broader platform, including lead routing, geographic insights, and performance tracking, before Steve shares the origin story behind the product — a firsthand realization that sales data is far more powerful when you can see it on a map. _______ Curious about certification in the Blind Zebra Sales Operating System?
