Hardly worth the risk of them coming up short. Hope this clarifies!

It is a very common topic of discussion in Growth Academy groups and the best recommendation I can make is to ensure that the target is set at such a level that if you hit it you achieve what you personally want to achieve. Its your business, set the target that is right for you, not the target you think you should set. It is tricky as a new business to set targets.

You have no sales history, and no idea really of how much you'll be able to achieve, despite what your business plan may assert.

If your Cost of Sales are £45k, and profit margins are 10%, why do your sales targets have to be £500k? I would have thought the target was £50K? Fin :) Hi Craig, one perhaps very dim question …

If your Cost of Sales are £45k, and profit margins are 10%, why do your sales targets have to be £500k? I would have thought the target was £50K?
