Sales Forecasting and Sales Modeling
Sales forecasting can be focused on an industry, an individual company, or specific brands.
Typically, these forecasts are updated monthly or quarterly and provide national as well as regional projections. These short-range and long-range analyses and forecasts can help companies understand the fundamental forces that drive their sales—nationally and regionally.
