predictions, you need to include all the information that you documented in your marketing

plan.

anticipated results. New customers, overall sales, and profits gained add up to the results. Similarly, include the results you expect from your new retention

strategy.

identify the promotional expenses and other strategies that give you the highest return on

working capital. Additionally, by completing your financial projections, you will set the goals

for your referral program for which your health and fitness business should strive.
