From Campaigns to Cash Flow: How to Build a Forecast That Works


Listen Later

How do high-performing ecommerce brands turn campaigns into predictable cash flow?

In this episode, we break down the exact forecasting process we use at Common Thread Collective to consistently land within 0–10% of goal across dozens of brands.

Growth Strategy Manager Brian Sakansky joins Richard to unpack how CTC builds forecasts, operationalizes them, and uses daily expectations to make real-time decisions that drive revenue and contribution margin.

You’ll learn:

  • Why most forecasts fail—and how to fix yours

  • How CTC turns marketing calendars into financial plans

  • The daily system our team uses to hit targets with confidence
