Today’s chat is about getting comfortable with your numbers and facing them head on!

We’re talking about how to set sales goals for your product business, and how having a sales and inventory plan can help reduce anxiety around peak sales times. 

We will go over how to either set a plan, or to revisit your existing plan for Holiday to make sure you feel really good about it. We will talk though how to do this by:

- Having a plan for the full floorset AND specifically Black Friday and Cyber Monday

- Tieing that sales plan number back to your inventory (and what to do if you have too much or not enough!)

- The importance of (and magic that happens!) when you set a stretch goal

Enjoy the chat! 

Want some help to set a sales & inventory goal in your own business? Or to strategize your business growth plan? Let’s work together 1:1.
