Blank Sheet To First Draft
I didn’t have to start from scratch, which saved me a full day of staring at an empty spreadsheet. The structure gave me a clear starting point for my instrument store plan.

Switching between low, base, and high cases used to be tedious, but this model kept everything organized in one place. I built my three cases in under an hour and had cleaner assumptions to share.
I was nervous about breaking the file, but the pre-built formulas kept the numbers consistent while I edited inputs. It cut my checking time in half and made the model easier to trust.
It is an editable five-year Excel workbook where models store traffic, conversions, repeat customers, product mix, financial statements and management reports.
Use the workbook to translate expected shop traffic, convert buyers, recurring purchases, order volumes, mix of categories and prices into a structured retail forecast.
The operational assumptions for the update provide related calculations, financial statements, scenario analyses and reports from the navigation desktop, making changes pass through the planning model.
The model transforms visitors to shop in buyers, transfers cohorts of repeat customers, calculates orders and units, allocates a mix of products and then prices of the sales category.
Monthly visitors reflect movement during the week and seasonality, and then convert creates new buyers.
Some new buyers become multiple customers for a fixed life.
The contracts combine first purchases from the new buyer with active monthly orders from the multiple buyer.
Orders become units sold, then the common pool of units follows mixing the sales category.
The allocated category units are multiplied by category prices and then the category revenues are combined.
The spreadsheet of revenue assumptions shows movement, conversion of buyers, repeated behaviour, order size, mix of categories and price that drive retail sales.
Revenue assumptions
The COGS spreadsheet and operating expenditure separates the assumptions regarding the cost of goods, variable costs and fixed costs with the time and periodicity of the forecast.
COGS and operating expenses
