What is the Fixing Sales Team Forecast Accuracy Under course about?

Sales leaders like you are expected to deliver accurate forecasts, but CRM inputs are inconsistent, deal stages are misapplied, and rep judgment overrides data patterns. This forces manual cleanup, eroding trust in the number before it reaches leadership. The cycle repeats each quarter: revise, defend, revise again. It’s not a lack of effort, it’s a lack of operational discipline in forecasting hygiene.
