High sales turnover is more than just an HR issue—it’s a significant drain on resources and morale. The average annual turnover rate for salespeople is approximately 35%, significantly higher than the 13% average across all industries.
What’s more, high sales turnover doesn’t just disrupt your team—it drains your bottom line. On average, replacing a single salesperson costs around 1.5 times their annual salary, factoring in recruitment, training, and lost revenue. That means that even for a rep earning $50,000 annually, turnover costs reach $75,000.
But the financial strain goes beyond salary costs:
The bottom line? High turnover can sink your profits. Reducing it isn’t easy—but with the right tools, it’s possible.
That’s where Maptive comes in. Maptive is a powerful mapping and automation tool designed to help sales teams work smarter, sell faster, and stay motivated. Here’s how Maptive can help you fight turnover and build a stronger, more resilient sales team.

Uneven distribution of sales opportunities can lead to frustration among team members. Maptive’s Automated Territory Creation tool allows sales managers to quickly design balanced territories using data like customer locations, sales potential, or ZIP codes. With just a few clicks, Maptive generates optimized sales territories that ensure every rep has a fair shot at success.
The result? With balanced sales territories every rep gets a fair opportunity to succeed, which boosts morale and reduces frustration, driving productivity and lowering turnover.
If your sales reps are running from one location to the next without planning their routes efficiently, they are probably spending too much time traveling, which can contribute to burnout. Maptive’s Route Optimization Tool helps sales reps reduce travel time by automatically creating the most efficient routes between multiple customer locations. With turn-by-turn directions, reps can schedule more meetings in less time.
The impact: With less time spent on the road and more time with clients, reps stay productive and avoid burnout, making them more likely to stay with your company.
Sales reps with easy access to accurate information are more effective and close more deals. With that in mind, Maptive integrates with your CRM to provide powerful visual insights, so that sales managers can create heatmaps showing high-potential areas and use proximity searches to help reps target leads near existing customers.
The outcome: Reps can focus their efforts on the most promising opportunities, leading to more closed deals and a stronger sense of achievement, which keeps them engaged and less likely to leave.
