Plan the season’s budgets, account by account
Start each retailer’s budget from last season, then follow it against the orders as they arrive.
Before market, what’s still open. Before each appointment, where the account stands. After market, how the season went. Ask for any of them in a sentence, or for a report on the pipeline and your accounts.
Nine prospects worth £293,000, four with an appointment booked. Browns and Fenwick have had nothing logged in 30 days, the two accounts to follow up.
Line sheets, order rules, budgets, appointments, account coverage and doors. Looma lists what is outstanding and says plainly what it couldn’t check.
This season and last, budget against actual, what they bought, the category mix and the styles they haven’t ordered from your line sheet. It ends with the three or four things to bring up.
Ask in your own words: the season by retailer, budget against actual, the best sellers, door by door. Each figure says where it came from, and the report ends with what to watch.
Today you can set a retailer’s budget for a season and see it against the orders, and store each retailer’s sell-through reports on its record. Planning across the season, and reports from the sell-through files, are next.
