Completing the Revenue Evaluation Form

Using the Quote screen's Evaluation view, the sales representative documents the revenue information that the revenue manager considers when making the decision to approve or reject the quote for the event. The evaluation form typically provides the following information:

• Incremental revenue sources that may result from the group or event. The sales representative can enter more than one incremental revenue source.
• Notes on potential future business that may result from the event.
• Commission information. More than one commission can be entered.
• The date by which the evaluation should be completed so that the sales representative can respond to the customer.
• The sales manager's comments.

This task is a step in Process of Revenue Management.
