This course is designed for Marketing and Sales professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of applying data science within Marketing and Sales contexts. The course provides
comprehensive coverage of various data science techniques used for “upselling”, “cross-selling”, market segmentation, branding, and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).

Distinguishing Marketing from Sales - How do sales and marketing differ?

In simple terms, sales can be described as a process that targets individuals or small groups, whereas marketing focuses on larger audiences or the general public. Marketing encompasses research (identifying customer needs), product development (creating innovative solutions), and promotion (through advertising) to raise product awareness among consumers. Essentially, marketing is about generating leads or prospects. Once the product is available in the market, it becomes the salesperson's role to persuade customers to make a purchase. While sales involve converting leads into purchases and orders, marketing is geared towards long-term goals, whereas sales focus on shorter-term objectives.
