Course overview

You know when the TV weather forecast predicts sunshine, but it rains instead, and you arrive at work soggy and mad? This kind of miss in forecasting can be annoying and inconvenient, but that’s as bad as it gets. In sales forecasting, though, getting things wrong can mean more than just a damp day in the office. 

Forecasting is a delicate art. Your employees need to be able to make confident predictions about where sales will come from, their value, and when you’re likely to receive finances. As well as demotivating sales teams, poor forecasting can lead to financial damage, planning problems, and reputational damage. So, making sure your teams’ forecasts are as accurate as possible is vital.
