All merchants in Uganda, Colombia, South Korea, Italy, and soon China can choose which AREA MANAGERS to approve their business and be responsible for their deals. Area managers have been introduced in only some countries, and are not mandatory for all countries, which usually have their Country managers.

For Uganda merchants can choose one of the area managers: Gonzaga Ssebadduka and Kiiza Octus.
Three area managers are responsible for the merchants in Colombia: Ruby Acosta Gomez, Mary Alexandra Mora Hernández, and Yohana Espitia.
Merchants from South Korea are able to choose an area manager, too from these options: Ahn Kwangja or Youngju Kim.

In Italy Dealshaker has 4 area managers:

Italy AM South – Gaetano Lavolpicella
Italy AM Central – Luigi Vallone
Italy AM North – West Andrea Bini
Italy AM North – East Massimo Bortoloni

These changes happened a few months ago when regions, called Areas, were implemented into the system. This became necessary due to geographical, administrative, or purely organizational reasons, but the goal is one – better management in the country. In some countries it is necessary, in others, it is by the CM’s wish. On the Dealshaker platform, when merchants add a new business account, in the address field they are able to choose a country. Since there are new areas already added in this country, the merchant will see a drop-down menu to select a region. The selected area manager will be responsible for your business and deals and will approve them in the future.

The implementation of area managers will boost the development of the market with more local teams working on the field and will improve the management of geographically huge territories in smaller areas to focus on the sales and service in the working process with the merchant. This point applies to China, for example, where there are many provinces with huge territories.
