What is the Fixing the Renewal Forecast That Breaks course about?
Every cycle, the same pattern: a spreadsheet cobbled together from fragmented data, last-minute changes from stakeholders, and a presentation that never quite sticks. The forecast gets challenged, credibility erodes, and the team scrambles, again. This isn’t about data hygiene; it’s about a process that fails under real-world pressure. The cost isn’t just time, it’s trust. When leadership can’t rely on your numbers.
