Revenue forecasting has become more than a planning activity affecting sales, in the changing world of the modern business environment, it has become a strategic necessity. Businesses across the spectrum are also deploying revenue intelligence tools to combat the lack of visibility, exposure to risks, as well as empower quicker decisions to be made on data at the highest levels. Pipeline tracking tools such as Clari, Salesloft and Salesforce Einstein Forecasting can no longer be considered an optional part of the business, by and large, they are the pinnacle of how the executive teams at companies are expected to predict their performance, and how leaders plan their strategies accordingly. However, a combination of these tools to generate real-time and trusted information to the C-level stakeholders is an elaborate task to overcome involving artistry and brilliance of using technology as well as vision and planning.
