I would love to have the ability to forecast off of units sold by time period in this tool. We set sales goals off of units sold and not by revenue for some users and would like to have ability added.

I agree with this! We also don’t use revenue at any point in our sales process, instead we look at the number of units a prospect has. Would be great to be able to use custom properties in forecasting.

We have intermediate forecasts. Like intermediate steps (demo done). As well as touchpoints, installs per month…

Not everything is revenue driven.

We use dollars to track sales but it would be helpful for our production and pruchasing departmend to know the quantities of each product for all orders sold so they can manage inventoury.
