data relating to the sales of a particular product, service, or brand. Sales statistics include numbers and types of products sold, areas where they are sold, calls and visits made, contacts established, categories of customers, costs and time spent on sales activities, and administration. These statistics are often used in conjunction with the sales plan and for sales forecasting. They can also be used to identify areas of weakness in sales support staff and to identify areas for training. Statistics can also contribute to the identification of profitable product lines or products to abandon.
