Did you know that 73% of organizations plan to increase their AI adoption for business analytics, yet many professionals struggle to effectively leverage AI tools for meaningful business insights?
This Guided Project was created to help business analysts, sales managers, and data-driven professionals harness the power of Claude to transform raw sales data into actionable business intelligence. More specifically, in this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to: 1. Analyze sales data using Claude.AI to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies 2. Develop actionable business strategies based on AI-powered insights 3. Create compelling data visualizations and reports that drive decision-making To achieve this, you will create a comprehensive sales analysis portfolio by working through a real-world scenario as a Junior Business Analyst at DataTech Solutions, consulting for major brands. You'll progress from basic sales analysis to creating executive-ready presentations with strategic recommendations. This project is unique because it combines practical AI implementation with real-world business scenarios, teaching you not just how to use Claude, but how to apply it effectively in business contexts. Rather than focusing on technical complexity, we emphasize business value and actionable insights. In order to be successful in this project, first you need a Claude.ai pro plan subscription in addition, you need basic understanding of business metrics (revenue, profit, growth rates), familiarity with spreadsheets and data tables, and basic understanding of sales and marketing concepts.
