Show Notes

Hello there and welcome (or welcome back) to The RevOps Show! A lot is happening this episode as Jess has a new phone number and can’t seem to remember her Twitter handle. (Which by the way if you’re reading this, tweet her @JessDCardenas and ask her if she made it to 2022.) BUT, that’s not what we’re really here to talk about today. Today Doug and Jess are focusing on sales forecasting, a topic that has hot takes and gets Doug riled up.

Questions answered in today's episode: 
  • What is sales forecasting? 
  • What’s the difference between a top down approach vs. a bottom up?
  • Who should be involved in putting the forecast together? 
  • Along the same line, who should be paying attention to it?
  • How much attention should be paid to it?
