Big data refers to data sets that are so large and intricate that conventional data processing applications are insufficient for managing them. For government, the challenges associated with big data include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search capabilities, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating, and ensuring information privacy.

This course is designed for government Marketing and Sales Professionals who are seeking to deepen their understanding of data science applications in Marketing and Sales. The curriculum provides comprehensive coverage of various data science techniques used for upsale, cross-sale, market segmentation, branding, and customer lifetime value (CLV).

Difference Between Marketing and Sales - How do sales and marketing differ?

In simple terms, sales can be defined as a process that focuses on individuals or small groups. Conversely, marketing targets a broader audience or the general public. Marketing encompasses research to identify customer needs, product development to create innovative solutions, and promotion through advertising to raise awareness among consumers. Essentially, marketing generates leads or prospects. Once a product is available in the market, it is the responsibility of sales personnel to persuade customers to make a purchase. Sales involve converting these leads into actual purchases and orders, while marketing aims at longer-term goals, whereas sales are typically oriented toward shorter-term objectives.
