● The weight of F3: w3 = 0.2 ● BPI (Virginia) = 0.5(2.00%) + 0.3(1.96%) + 0.2(2.28%)] = 2.044% ● 2.044 means the Virginia’s drug sales = 2.044 percent of the nation’s drug sales © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management 38 © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management 39 ● Industry sales and market shares ● Besides estimating total potential and area potential, a company needs to know the actual industry sales taking place in its market This means identifying competitors and estimating their sales © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management 40 Estimating Future Demand ● Survey of buyers’ intentions © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management 41 Some Techniques to Forecast ● Survey of buyers’ intentions ● Composite of sales force opinions ● Expert opinion ● Past-sales analysis ● Market-test method © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management 42 ... timely, and accurate information to marketing decision makers © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management © Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Marketing Management Internal Records ● Order-to-payment cycle ● Sales information...
