    Proven sales forecasting methodology
- In the real world, throwing 100's of statistical time series forecasting methods at the sales forecasting problem is inappropriate. Promotional and competitive peaks and troughs and other events which cause massive short term variation do not generally happen to a predictable pattern through time.
- Instead, you need to give your business managers the right tools to productively translate the sales and marketing plan, plus new information as it comes to hand, into a defensible, multi-level sales forecast. They need to be able to quality check their forecasts as they enter them, to monitor progress versus the plan, to react quickly to change, and to identify and learn from their forecast errors. The business managers are the people who best understand what is happening with their customers and products and are in the best position to translate this knowledge into an actionable forecast.
