I've found talented data scientists in several other countries who do just as good as ones I've worked with in Silicon Valley. It is not a position one can automate away, of course - one needs to know more about the type of data that needs grooming and what types of skills best fit it (DSP vs analytics vs whatever buzz word that relates best to the science at hand). Can you speak more about your goals?
There is a lot of growth in data analytics, data visualization, data science and machine learning.
The main driver of this is that companies are starting to track a lot of data now that they have the technology available and the ability to gather it. This results in a huge increase in data science work.
One of the main challenges companies face is that they are not sure how great a data science firm is. So I would recommend:
1. Make sure to get reviews from your existing clients and introduce your prospects to past clients to give them a better understanding of your work.
2. Check out Kaggle.com and try completing a few projects there as that will help you gain credibility and access clients
3. Check out VenturePact.com and try signing up there are as getting a third party to vet your firm will help increase your credibility. Also VenturePact will help you connect with clients.
Not a simple enough topic to start from scratch. I remember studying the topic of artificial intelligence for some time and also did not know where to start. This information portal https://www.aiperspectives.com/ helped me a lot. Just great articles on this topic. Try reading, I'm sure you will learn something new for yourself.
An engagement model is a framework, which defines collaboration between client and analytics outsourcing partner in terms of the level of control, responsibility, and a base for further development. By bringing together, the expertise from outside an organisation can innovate and go beyond what their current analytics team can offer. This is a simple model that allows the company to extend the existing in-house staff with workers from an outsourcing partner. It reduces cost and time by taking the required technical and domain expertise from the outsourcing vendor. These data science expertise that the client lacks are provided by the outsourcing vendor on a fixed price time-bound activity.

Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.MF

A tech startup fully outsourced. What problems would be in this situation?
The ideal way would be to hire the engineer while the project is still under development. You and the engineer should follow up with the outsourced partner in the process. This will give hold to the engineer and later more staff can be trained in upgrading or follow on versions of the product/service.SM

I just opened a small, upscale, boutique style hair salon. Any ideas on how to market?
I have no experience with salons, but marketing is my thing. So I'll give you some suggestions of what to think about, followed by what to do. Do you have clients already (let's say from your working days at another salon)? If so, you can start profiling them. You can ask them to fill out a form in exchange for a free gift (maybe one of those creams you use in the salon), or an entry to a raffle (where the prize is valuable). In the profiling, you want to look out for which neighborhoods they live in, what kinds of activities they like to do, what kinds of social events they love to do, and their occupations. Then, using each of those profile data, you can market to more prospects who share the same characteristics. For example, - You can set aside a budget to send flyers to specific neighborhoods. In order to get people into the door, maybe you can offer a certain procedure for free in exchange for opportunities to win new regular customers. (You could theoretically do this with Groupon too, but you have less control of who comes into your door) - You could set up joint venture relationships with organizations like ball room dancing schools, professional associations, etc. You could offer an exclusive discount with those groups to entice potential customers to try out your service. More opportunities for you to win regular customers. - With certain demographic data, you can probably make the same offer by advertising on Facebook. If you target specific enough, you can get the price of acquiring the lead to be pretty cheap. You would have to figure out your typical lifetime value of your customers before deciding whether advertising on Facebook would be worthwhile. One last thing, you can offer gifts for your existing customers if they refer you people. If you have any more questions, I'm happy to chat with you. Hit me up on this platform.SL

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?
Your best bet to get traction quickly in USA is to advertise on mobile ad networks. You may need to advertise on CPM/CPC basis instead of CPI if you have a paid app so make sure you understand your user lifetime value and watch conversion rates closely so you don't overspend. That said, depending on what your niche/vertical is, there are many other ways to market non-gaming apps.SR
