When justifying marketing & business development plans, the proposer often has to weigh the marketing investment costs against any potential profits resulting from higher sales. It is, however, all too easy to over-forecast profits and underestimate hidden costs. Ace your proposals by accurately factoring in relevant margins & abstruse costs, contextualizing to the correct types of promotional activities, and aligning those numbers to your shareholders’ value expectations.
