The market demand corresponding to this level is called the market forecast. • Market Potential - The market forecast shows expected market demand, not maximum market demand • Company Demand - is the company’s estimated share of market demand at alternative levels of company marketing effort in a given time period. • Company Sales Forecast - is the expected level of company sales based on a chosen marketing plan and an assumed marketing environment. • Company Sales Potential - is the sales limit approached by company demand as the company marketing effort increases relative to that of competitors.
