The Sales Budget The individual months of April, May, and June are summed to obtain the total projected sales in units and dollars for the quarter ended June 30th
Sales Forecasting Step 1: Create the ROLL Out Plan Planning the Number of Doors/outlets Step 2: Find the Sales for each outlet A. On the basis of SPF for (EBO/LFRS): SPF= Sales /Area in square ft. • Find out the benchmark SPF ( Find for atleast two competitors and calculate average SPF) 2) Forecast Organization’s SPF in different scenarios.
Sales Forecasting Different scenarios can be: • Pessimistic Scenario: 10% to 30% of Benchmark SPF • Normal Scenario: 40% to 70% of Benchmark SPF • Optimistic Scenario: 80% to 100% of Benchmark SPF
