In this second Sales Planning Survey edition, the Dresner Advisory Community scores sales planning use, adoption, budgets, and overall success then analyzes these aspects by organization size, geography, and other attributes. This year, the community of respondents scores the importance of four main areas of sales planning:

• Features such as forecasting, customer segmentation, territory, and quota planning
• Integrations with popular productivity tools and, importantly, with other critical corporate systems such as Enterprise or Corporate Performance Management (EPM/CPM)
