What if a company had several warehouse addresses and offices across the
country? Which sales territority does he belong to? I don't think
there's an automatic match up.

Then again, maybe a better alternative is that a "sales territority" is
really a PartyGroup with a PartyGroupRollup. So maybe it is not
necessary to assign parties directly to it.

Then again, though, it'd be intuitive still to associate this party
group with a geo.
