Sales Budget
Sales department budget is the cost running the marketing function in the
budgetary period. It is normally split into 3 components:
After the sales target is made, activities are defined to achieve the
same; after which costs are estimated. For instance: the target
requires sales people to travel 1,00,000 km a year, and the
allowance per km. is Rs.8, the budgetary allocation would be
Rs.8,00,000…
Sales Budget
Also management can measure change in standard costs over time
If standard costing is not possible, estimates like cost per unit sale
may be used. Companies may also adjust this cost for inflation,
changes in competitive landscape, market conditions, etc.
Sales Budget
Planning styles:
1) Top down: The top management gives sales and profit targets
to various organisational units and unit heads make plans to
achieve those objectives
2) Bottom up: Unit heads and their subordinates team up in the
setting of the sales and profit objectives and also plans to
meet them.
The division must also discuss its plans for the forthcoming period for the sake of
better evaluation. Every level must lead to more conciseness in detail
If there is a cutback, then the division has to obviously decide where to cut corners.
It will be similar for other departments, where they will present an estimation of
their costs.
