Revenue Forecasting Is a Guess | The Pedowitz Group

Revenue Forecasting Is a Guess

Every quarter ends the same way:
scrambling to close deals you didn't see coming
or explaining why the "committed" deals evaporated. Your forecast is fiction.

Flying Blind Into Every Quarter

Monday's forecast: $2M. Friday's reality: $800K. Your board meeting is Tuesday. This isn't forecasting—it's wishful thinking with spreadsheets. Meanwhile, your CFO has stopped believing anything you say about pipeline.

Hockey Stick Hope

Every forecast shows deals magically closing in the last week. Spoiler: they won't. You're planning on miracles, not data.

Sandbagging Central

Reps hide deals to protect their numbers. Managers pad forecasts. Everyone's lying, nobody trusts the data.

Surprise Slippage

"Committed" deals push to next quarter. "Probable" deals go dark. Your forecast accuracy is under 50%.

Stage Gate Fiction

Deals sit in "Negotiation" for 6 months. Stage progression means nothing. Probability percentages are made up.

No Early Warning

You find out deals are dead when they're already lost. No leading indicators, no time to course-correct.

?

Board Meeting Panic

Every QBR is a scramble. You can't explain misses, can't predict next quarter, can't inspire confidence.

Why Your Crystal Ball Is Broken

1

Gut Feel Over Data

Reps forecast based on optimism. Managers adjust based on experience. Nobody uses actual buying signals or engagement data.

2

Manual Everything

Forecast calls, spreadsheet roll-ups, manual CRM updates. By the time data is compiled, it's already outdated.

3

No Buying Signals

You track activities, not engagement. Can't see when champions go dark, stakeholders disengage, or competitors enter.

4

Broken Sales Process

No consistent methodology. Every rep sells differently. Stage gates are suggestions, not requirements.

5

Historical Blindness

No pattern recognition. Don't know which deals typically close, which slip, which die. Every quarter is a surprise.

6

Zero Pipeline Intelligence

Can't see pipeline coverage gaps, velocity issues, or conversion problems until it's too late to fix them.

From Guessing to Knowing

Replace spreadsheet fiction with AI-powered intelligence. Build forecasts on data, not hope. See around corners before deals die. Actually hit your number.

Predictive Analytics

AI models that analyze deal patterns, buying signals, and historical data to predict outcomes with 90%+ accuracy.

Real-Time Dashboards

Live pipeline visibility, automated roll-ups, instant forecast updates. See changes as they happen, not next week.

Learn More →

Pipeline Intelligence

Spot coverage gaps, velocity bottlenecks, and conversion issues weeks before they impact the quarter.

Learn More →

Deal Scoring

Objective scoring based on engagement, stakeholder involvement, and buying signals. Know which deals are real.

Learn More →

Early Warning System

Alerts when deals stall, champions disengage, or competitors appear. Fix problems before they kill deals.

Learn More →

Process Standardization

Implement proven methodologies like MEDDIC. Consistent stages, clear exit criteria, reliable forecasts.

From Fiction to Fact

Charles Schwab

Traditional marketing couldn't predict pipeline. No visibility into what would convert. Sales had no qualified leads to forecast. We built a data-driven lead management framework that created predictable, measurable pipeline.
