ANALYSIS 1 – Discount Level Analysis
Analysis
The initial step to this analysis was to determine if discounts have any effect on sales. In going so I categorized the discounts in to 5 level subtotaling all discounts under 10%. In do so, It was determined that the lowest discount level of 0%-9% products the most net sales and number of sales across all categories.

Recommendation
We can see that the lowest discount level is the most active and productive discount in generating sales. Additionally, there is no significant impact when offering 10%-25% discount and I would recommend avoiding the larger discount levels. Instead of offering a higher discount I would recommend reducing the discount and offering a < 10% discount by volume. Try this for a couple of months to safeguard the customer relationship. ANALYSIS 2 – Net sales over time and by agent
Analysis
This analysis depicts the net sales during a year. The decline in sales in June 2006 is because it only plots the first 3 days of the month. The
company sales as a whole looks promising through 2006 projections. Graphic
Recommendation
Since the data is not available for the entire year for 2004 & 2006, I performed additional analysis looking at the data by agent. As many on the agents have declined in sales over 2005, projections are still good as a whole. With the combined analysis of #1 and #2, I would recommend a bonus incentive by category to motivate agents to sell all products. I would recommend agents getting a compounding incentive for each category over $100,000 in net sales. I would also evaluate sales strategies Steve and Anne as they have shown growth in sales since the beginning. ANALYSIS 3 – Total Sales by Country

Recommendation
USA and Germany are the top countries where people are buying our product. Austria and Brazil are also showing a potential for growth and we can focus on increasing market share in these countries. Argentina and Norway are the countries showing little growth. In the interest to increase Net sales, I recommend increasing or decrease the discount % respectively to move closer to the average 5.6% discount and re-evaluate the impact to sales. SELF ASSESSMENT
From completing the Excel project, I learned not only how to create basic charts, pivot tables and other graphs but most importantly understand the need for data analysis, organize data, analyze the data, draw conclusions and present evidence. I did some additional analysis which are shown in the excel workbook. I would have loved to do the What if Analysis but due to the multiple courses and my work schedule I could not budget the time for the analysis.
