You can define a territory as the demarcation of the sales force structure. The customer accounts are grouped and shared with the sales team of an organization based on various factors such as geography, product line, revenue, and so on.

As your business grows, it may have a pan-national presence and also a global presence. That means you will have multiple office divisions, departments, and products/services customized as per region. Here, there should be proper planning before assigning customer accounts to the sales teams.
