sales:forecast
Forecast period: July 2025
Revenue target: $25,000 (5 units at average $5,000)
Pipeline (with assigned close probabilities):
Deal Value Stage Close Prob Expected Close
---------------------------- ------- ----------------- ----------- ---------------
Westlake Build (Hargrove) $11,400 Verbal yes 85% July 16
Stonehaven (2-unit trial) $18,000 Negotiation 60% July 25
Henderson Project $9,800 Design consult 40% Aug 5 (slipped)
Holloway quote to send $14,200 Quoted today 35% July 28
Ashworth — Malibu $9,800 Quote sent 8d 20% Unknown
Premier Kitchens Dallas $27,000 Spec sheet only 15% Unknown
Assumptions:
- Westlake probability drops to 30% if signed form not received by July 18
- Stonehaven is contingent on confirming Aug 15 delivery
- Henderson likely slips to August based on build timeline
What you’ll get: A three-scenario July forecast — best case (Westlake + Stonehaven + Holloway all close: ~$43,600), most likely (Westlake + Stonehaven close, others push: ~$29,400), worst case (only Westlake closes, Stonehaven misses on delivery risk: ~$11,400) — each with a probability-weighted expected value. Includes a gap analysis against the $25k target and a ranked list of the two or three specific actions most likely to close the gap if the worst-case scenario begins to materialise.
