In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, the pace is relentless and the competition fierce. Companies must consistently meet and exceed sales targets to stay ahead. This requires meticulous planning, execution, and most importantly, accurate tracking of sales performance against predefined targets.
Let’s understand this better using an example:
Imagine you’re managing sales for an FMCG company aiming to increase market share in both urban and rural areas. You have come up with a detailed plan that focuses more on the urban areas and less on rural markets to achieve the same. However, six months into the year, you find yourself struggling to meet the targets. The sales in urban areas were below expectations, while rural sales were doing slightly better but still not enough to compensate.
Reason?
The above example highlights the importance of tracking your targets against achievements. Monitoring your progress against these targets helps you understand your market position, identify successful strategies, meet consumer expectations, and pinpoint areas that require more attention.
