What do you do if your analytical skills are lacking in Sales Operations?

Analytical skills is to do more with Numbers and learning tools. If we ignore how to deal with numbers, we are knocking the failure even though if we are good with tools. Both needs to go hand in hand. As Sales is an important team in any organization, connecting with various sales folks across industry, understanding the numbers & tools they have, and working on those sample sets helps you to assess your level and can start working towards betterment.

Take Courses: Look for online courses or workshops on data analysis. Practice Regularly: Use real data to practice your skills. Ask for Help: Learn from colleagues who are strong in analysis. Read Up: Find books or articles about sales analytics and study them. Use Tools: Get familiar with analytical tools and software used in your field. Set Small Goals: Start with small analytical tasks and build up your skills. Attend Workshops: Join workshops or seminars focused on analytical skills. Work on Projects: Volunteer for projects that require analysis to gain experience. Reflect and Adjust: Regularly review your progress and adjust your learning plan as needed.

If my analytical skills are lacking in Sales Operations, I would seek out training courses or workshops to improve my analytical abilities, actively seek feedback from colleagues or mentors to identify areas for improvement, and practice analytical techniques through hands-on projects or real-world scenarios to enhance my proficiency in data analysis and interpretation.

My university teacher said, that almost everyone has the skill to state the obvious from graphs and numbers, like "The sales are going down" or that "Seems like we are getting more leads in the region X". Do the sales go down every season at this time? Has there been a change in processes or personnel? Was there are an ad, a campaing or a legal bill that changed the buying behaviour? Learn how to combine different trends, observations and data together and seek to verify these from other sources - preferably from stakeholders and people who are close to the matter.

Uno de los principales conceptos del aprendizaje es aprender de otros, aca mi sugerencia siempre es investigar en profundidad donde estan liderando cada concepto donde quieres mejorar y realizar cursos que incorporen la parte practica y no solo teórica, dado que la mejor forma de aprender es haciendo. Como dirían algunos juntar horas de vuelo es clave para convertirte en un experto. La etapa final de este viaje es poder terminar ense?ando lo aprendido a otros que es donde finalmente puedes decir que tienes un nivel de experto y ademas de lo gratificante que es poder ayudar a otros a ser mejores.

Essentially analytical process isn't very different from any scientific or academical work. You start with your hypothesis, and try to verify it using data and peer reviewing it. It might also be, that you start with the data or an anomaly in it, then ask for an opinion (peer review) and then try to come up with an hypothesis for it. Hypothesis->data->peer review->analysis->options/actions
