Charting your sales forecast

Charting your sales forecast

- The sales forecast. In the sales forecast section, you'll open with a general statement about the next three years of the business and opening for this could say something like, "The sales forecast table found below projects future revenues. A month-by-month breakdown on the first 12 months is found in the appendix at the end of the business plan. The assumptions used to create these projections are as follows." Now, you want to elaborate, reference things like revenue generation starting off moderate and sporadic due to market testing over the first six months. Then go through subsequent years and how you anticipate sales and revenue change. You'll want to include a table like this to show these projections.
