"What you sell is no longer the secret weapon to winning. The companies that are winning today are those that can best use the lessons of the past to take control of their future. By mapping historical patterns of performance to forecasts, organizations can identify potential shortfalls before it's too late and make better decisions - rather than guesses - about the next steps in the selling process."
