WHY DO I NEED A BUSINESS FORECAST?
A business forecast helps you...
- Plan for the future & reach your goals. A simple business forecast will help you plan your long-term goals and milestones, and short-term tactical plan.
- Spend your marketing budget wisely and ensure your marketing tactics have a positive ROI. Instead of just guessing, forecasting will help you find the most valuable places to invest your time and money. You'll know which marketing tactics to use to ensure you are working towards your goal.
- Track your forecast vs actuals to measure your progress. Measuring your results is SO important. When you have targets, you can compare your actual results vs what you planned to achieve in your forecast.
Make your dreams a reality by intentionally setting your business profit goals
So how does this business forecasting thing work?
Step 1: Populate your business inputs
We’ve taken care of the boring stuff like calculations and formatting. All you need to do is enter your business inputs. We’ve even provided some industry standards for inputs, just in case you don’t know your own.
PS... inputs are the numbers we set to be able to calculate our outcomes. Think profit margin, conversion rate, average spend per customer, etc.
Step 2: Populate your product information and sales
Input your product names and prices, then simply set your monthly sales targets based on your strategy and tactical plan.
For "evergreen" products, input a starting monthly sales and your desired monthly growth rate. For seasonal or event/promotion driven sales, set your desired sales.
Step 3: Let the template work its magic
Once your inputs from step 1 and 2 are populated, the template does the rest. Easily compare your annual goals to your monthly targets to make sure you're on track to achieve your goals.
If your monthly sales aren't getting you where you want to be, we've provide tips on the various levers you can pull to make your dreams a reality.

- Reflecting on the last month and quarter, realizing how far you've come, and heading into the next planning cycle with confidence, more motivated than ever
