Dynamic Sales Forecasting
Leveraging Data and Technology to Enable More Accurate and Timely Sales Forecasts
Thursday, July 3, 2025
10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern / 7 PM CET
Let’s face it—traditional sales forecasting just isn’t built for the pace, complexity, and volatility of today’s markets. It tends to be slow and is often based more on wishful thinking than on realistic assessments. But leading sales operations are now moving toward dynamic forecasting models that can process vast amounts of pipeline and historical sales data—automatically and continuously. These data-driven approaches allow sales forecasts to evolve in real time as conditions change, enabling better decisions, faster course corrections, and fewer surprises.
In this subscriber-only webinar, you will learn about:
- The key differences between traditional and dynamic forecasting—and why the shift matters now more than ever.
- How sales teams are using predictive analytics and AI to automatically generate and refresh forecasts, sometimes daily.
- Diplomatic ways to integrate rep-provided perspectives with data-driven models and reconcile opinions with reality.
- How a rolling, dynamic forecast provides earlier warnings and insights into performance across multiple sales periods.
