How Finance Can Drive Revenue with a Continuous Approach to Sales Planning

Budgeting and forecasting are constrained in their accuracy when they are based on old data. The moment your sales team shares their sales plan, it’s already misaligned with your business’s reality. Attrition, market changes, and client churn are a short list of factors that could render the sales plan unreliable. A continuous approach to sales planning solves this, but what does the process look like?
