Sales Forecasting and Pipeline Management
The benefits of effective sales pipeline and forecast management include better management reporting, the ability to apply changes in pricing, sales and promotional incentives, review the effectiveness of products, features, markets and pricing, and ultimately, an increase in income.
The sales pipeline provides snapshots of sales representative’s activity. It provides data with regards to achieving quotas. The information generated by the product, region, team etc. will quickly contribute to providing monthly, quarterly, or annual revenue forecasts. The knowledge of when deals close is essential and affects other departments like finance, operations, production, manufacturing and the reporting of management results.
The problem with sales pipelines is that they are: (1) Frequently meaningless; (2) Often out-of-whack with revenue; (3) An argument of last resort, and (4) Almost always misused and misunderstood.
