Sales Forecasting

Ayo Ipaye London, United Kingdom

I am researching possible sales forecasting applications for a package selection process.
Applications should be able to handle complex forecasts such as those in the telecommunications industry for example.

I would love to draw on your collective wealth of experience as I build a package selection list.

Can anybody give me a headstart on software packages to consider ?

See if Gartner may have a Magic Quadrant for the space you are looking at.

Good luck.

Dear Ayo,

All of the leading SFA applications provide sales forecast customization and can handle complex sales forecasts. And, quite often the critical dependency is not a matter of application functionality, rather an issue of the organization's sales forecasting process and abilities, or lack thereof. Ask three sales managers what they consider a qualified lead to be and you may very well get five answers. You might want to check out the following:

You can download a complimentary report from Business-Software on the Top 10 SFA Software Systems.

And if you haven't sat for a Salesforce.com demo recently, you might have a look at their SFA offering.

Good luck in your search. I hope you can post back your findings.
