Sales Forecasting:
A Critical Business Process
Sales forecasting used to be confined
to the sales meeting. No longer. Now, with corporate performance under
ever stricter scrutiny from the markets, directors and investors must
be able to know, anytime and anywhere, how the business is doing. And
it isn't just what's going to be sold this month: it's what has changed,
and why; how consistent is the forecast; are the sales closed actually
the sales that were forecast?
Today, sales forecasting is the priority business process.
