What is the Fix the Sales Finance Forecast That course about?

Every month, the sales finance forecast collapses when pipeline shifts unexpectedly or leadership demands a revised outlook. The model, built on fragile assumptions and manual inputs, fails to adapt. Teams revert to last-minute spreadsheets, conflicting numbers circulate, and confidence erodes. You end up reworking the same forecast repeatedly, defending inconsistencies, and losing influence with sales and execs. This isn’t a data problem.
