Tech Startup Marketing Assumption Question

Medium Assumption Identify Assumptions

A tech startup recently announced, "If we expand our marketing efforts, our sales will increase significantly." This assertion is based on past performance where a similar expansion led to a 30% increase in sales within the first quarter.

Therefore, they are considering the expansion based on this past experience.

Which of the following assumptions must be true for the tech startup's conclusion to hold?

The increase in sales from previous marketing efforts was solely due to those efforts.

Current economic conditions will not negatively affect their sales.

The competitor's marketing strategy is ineffective.

The startup's product will remain popular with customers.

Sales will only increase if marketing efforts expand.
