Sales Soft faces a dilemma on whether to continue developing its comprehensive sales automation software PROCEED or divert resources to a sales forecasting software called Trojan Horse. While Trojan Horse could generate quicker revenue, it would mean abandoning the original goal of becoming a leader in the high-end sales automation market. A long-term analysis shows that continuing PROCEED's development is more profitable, as it has no threats from competitors and is projected to generate over $30 million in revenue by 1998 compared to under $10 million for Trojan Horse. Therefore, to achieve its long-term objectives, Sales Soft should choose the PROCEED option over the diversion to Trojan Horse for short-term gains.
