A reliable forecast is difficult to achieve. Ask your local weather forecaster! In business the variables are just as complex. The science is not as good. Your judgment is critically important.
Times are tough out there in financial markets so if your banker is pressing for your updated cash flow forecast, you had better do a sales forecast first.
Judgment can be dramatically improved with good technique, so I have prepared two whitepapers and two online training sessions to explain the professional tricks of the trade. I share my techniques in the FREE whitepapers, but if you want to learn how to use my spreadsheets and forecasting models you need to register for the online tuition sessions.
Two forecasting techniques to suit different businesses.
In contracting businesses, forecasting project revenues is notoriously difficult. Probability forecasting is the solution, and it is simple and powerful when you know how to apply it to your business. This is a well proven technique in a one person business or a large multi-divisional operation. I can explain the secrets in a 1 hour session.
It is equally tricky to project the past into the future in a product or service business, but I can show you how to analyze past sales to reliably forecast future revenues. Once again you will receive my spreadsheets and I will show how to use them. You don't need a masters degree in statistics to use this really useful stuff.
Interpreting the results, and using them to improve your management of your sales process is the final stage in making your future predictable and earning the trust of your banker.
You can download the whitepapers free of charge at www,bizlearn.biz/19.htm.
Look for really reliable Sales Forecasting – Projects and/or really reliable Sales Forecasting – Products and Services.
