Sales Forecasting Analysis
Our company wishes to have a current and accurate sales forecast so that we are able to allocate resources appropriately in the coming months and years. In this project, students will analyze organizational assets including personnel, strategic records, pricing, and promotion. Using these resources, we would like you to construct a sales forecast with a predictive model for the next two years of operations, including monthly projections. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Analyzing our current organizational assets for metrics that will affect our sales. Analyzing historical sales trends and comparing our previous forecasts to actual results. Constructing a model to predict sales including projectable market shifting events. Creating a report including research, analysis and the sales forecast. Developing multiple predictions using conservative and aggressive approaches.
Pricing Model Development
We would like you to develop and test a series of pricing model options and present an effective data-based pricing model recommendation for our organization. You should conduct primary and secondary research to confirm your recommendation is validated by our target customer in this market. To accomplish this, we believe you will need to conduct the following research: Our organization’s costs, target customer, revenue targets, and business goals. The competitive landscape of this new market. Organizing focus groups, surveys, and/or customer discovery interviews to get input and feedback on potential pricing models. Using targeted ads to A/B test landing pages with different price models. We want to enter this new market with a proven pricing model so that we can have a successful launch.
