Overview

The late baseball legend Yogi Berra once said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." And yet, Sales Leaders must make predictions every quarter about their performance when research shows that 50 percent of all forecasted deals slip. Because of this lack of precision, CFOs must then adjust forecasts based on gut instinct and past results - making it difficult to have confidence in revenue forecasts or to give earnings guidance. New predictive forecasting tools can be transformative for Sales Leaders, but the key is looking at actual customer engagement.

In this compelling session, Michael Schultz, VP of Marketing & Business Development for ClearSlide will discuss how you can gain better confidence in your pipeline, identify deals at risk or ones that can be moved forward, and have the engagement data to coach more effectively - making the CFO your new best friend.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Sales leaders looking to reduce forecast inaccuracy and leverage data to coach their teams to success.
