1) Being aware of inflation estimates for the period: it is important to estimate your production costs to reflect a figure above projected inflation for the period. That's why before making financial forecasts for a business, one needs to know the inflation projection.
2) Understand industry benchmarks: When you understand the minimum benchmark on industry pricing, you would be able to reflect same in your pricing to make projections for your revenue. Use minimum benchmark for your revenue projection.
