The sales budget
              A budget is a quantitative expression of plans. Most well
               managed enterprises use a budget which is a
               comprehensive and coordinated plan for the operations
               and resources of the enterprise.
              It is a formal and intricate process
              Approaches are either incremental or zero based.
              In a volatile economic climate organizations estimate
               optimistic, realistic and pessimistic scenarios.




To the sales department, the budget is a blue print for making sales. It involves money invested in distribution
     facilities, promotion efforts, and sales personnel. It is the foundation on which to plan sales objectives and the
     means of achieving them during the coming year.

Critical factors considered:
1. past trends

3. Trade prospects
4. Present scenario
5. Customers: existing and potential

  complicated because structure of the customers
  vary in each territory, the level of competition
  varies across territories, the connectivity for
  travel varies etc.

  affordability, incremental and workload
  methods.
