520 3 _aThis book is about pragmatic, management-oriented sales forecasting for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and middle managers faced with the kind of practical management problems that forecasting can help prevent. Its main focus is the real-world sales forecast done almost every day, not using technical analysis or sophisticated forecasting techniques, but rather common sense, experience, and industry knowledge. This is forecasting that respects the educated guess. The book is written for entrepreneurs and managers to help with practical and commonplace management issues. The sales forecast is a vital tool for management, even though it's likely to be wrong. It becomes the foundation of the expense budgets and, through that, cash management.
