Forecast Submission Rate
Percentage of sales reps or managers who submit their weekly or monthly forecast on time
What is Forecast Submission Rate?
Forecast submission rate is the percentage of reps required to forecast who submit on time. It shows how disciplined the team is about giving leaders the information they need.
Late or missing forecasts make it hard to plan, so submission discipline underpins forecast quality.
