Marketing & Sales Analytics: Tracking strategies and data preparation

Utilize the full potential of your data sources in marketing and sales!

This blended learning is held in German.
In today's marketing and sales landscape, data is the decisive compass for success. Without a deep understanding of how to extract, process and ensure the quality of relevant information from the ever-growing volume of data, the potential remains untapped. With this course, you will optimize your data pipelines and lay the foundation for successful marketing and sales analytics: you will learn how to build a solid data foundation that enables you to understand customers , precisely target marketing activities and thus make well-founded decisions. We guide you systematically through the entire process: from identifying valuable internal and external data sources to designing effective tracking strategies along the customer journey and professional data preparation in the ETLV process (Extract, Transform, Load, Visualize). You will learn how to transform raw data into usable insights by extracting, cleansing, enriching and loading it for analysis purposes. You will also learn how to ensure that your data is consistently high quality and up-to-date and gain an insight into important tools that support you in this. In this way, you will create the basis for data-based optimization, increase efficiency in day-to-day business and make a measurable contribution to the company's success.
