Notes Page 4 of 15 Adobe Captivate Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Slide 8 - Slide 8 Slide notes If you store quota information in Oracle Sales Cloud, you can immediately see your forecast numbers compared to your quota in a simple gauge view. At a glance, Sales Managers can easily determine the forecast to open pipeline ratio. Then they can decide whether sales targets can be reached with the current forecast and the open pipeline or if corrective action must be triggered. Notes Page 5 of 15 Adobe Captivate Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Slide 9 - Details View Slide notes Sales Managers can quickly see who has submitted their forecast and what has changed since the previous forecast. To improve forecasting accuracy, Sales Managers can segment the totals by time periods and override forecast totals for each Sales Rep. Any adjustments are clearly visible in the forecast hierarchy, allowing management to quickly identify changes made by their subordinate Sales Managers.

This allows for more effective coaching and improves forecast accuracy. Notes Page 7 of 15 Adobe Captivate Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Slide 11 - Items View Slide notes Managers can also see all opportunities that comprise the forecast, focusing on the largest deals in their organization first. Sales Managers can then add items to the forecast, remove items from the forecast, or adjust individual lines in the forecast.

Notes Page 9 of 15 Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Adobe Captivate Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Slide 49 - Additional Information Slide notes The simplified pages are designed to improve usability; this makes the user experience different from standard desktop pages. Sales managers have a different set of pages for forecasting from the sales reps. The application automatically displays the sales manager pages for any territory with subordinate territories. If the territory is a leaf-level territory, then the sales rep pages are displayed. The manager pages are therefore customized separately from the sales rep user interface. For example, if a custom field is added to the sales rep page, then it will not be automatically added to the sales manager page. To learn more about the sales rep pages, please refer to Release 8 documentation.
