Sales Forecasting – What History Got Right, (and We Get Wrong)

Nov 4, 2022 | Video

Sales forecasting – the bane of the existence of every sales leader. I have yet to talk to a sales leader that has it nailed. Then it hit me… What is a struggle today does not appear to have been a struggle for early 1900s sales leaders; back when there was no CRM (Customer Relationship Management) technology. Back when there were no forecasting calls. Back when the only means of communication was via wire. I figured out why. Systemic seller centrism reigns today, and it didn’t 100+ years ago.
