Preparing for Sales Forecasting
The approach to forecasting the volume of sales of the enterprise should be carried out in accordance with its marketing plan. First of all, it will be necessary to correctly determine your positioning in the market, that is, the niche in which you will compete with other manufacturers. Here you can go two ways, the first of which is to define this space using a large-scale method, and the second, on the contrary, is more focused.

For example, you are a manufacturer of a line of oral care products, so it is extremely important to define your place in the market in this area. Your organization produces the entire range of products of this type: pastes and brushes, dental floss, whitening products, all kinds of balms for strengthening gums, etc. If you define your niche in this way, then the following happens:

Firstly, you will have wide opportunities that the market can provide, due to the large assortment. At the same time, the number of problems will increase, since the volume of competitors will grow in direct proportion to the extension of the list of goods offered by your organization.

Secondly, the definition of a niche can be done more precisely, for example, in one direction - toothpastes, brushes or whiteners. It will then become obvious that broad market opportunities are not particularly needed, since all your attention is focused on one product, due to which a competitive advantage is ensured.

In today's market conditions, it is always necessary to find a balance between sales opportunities and the severity of competition as an integral part of business. Therefore, experts recommend that you closely contact the marketing department to forecast the sales plan. This way, you will be able to understand the mechanisms for determining the market segments in which the competitive struggle will take place. You also need to know that each niche is characterized by certain internal processes: growth, decline in sales, or their being at the same level. For a successful business, you need to not only know the direction of the trend, but also understand its cause. Only in this case will you be able to make the most accurate sales forecast.
