One key to a successful business is understanding the massive amount of data available about its operations and customers. In order to analyze and understand data, a business must first gather information, get it into a form where it can be used, and generate reports on that data.
Apprentices can help in many different ways. Data entry frequently takes a lot of time. It is best to have a dedicated helper handle tasks like entering data, converting data between formats, and processing data. Hiring an Apprentice is the best option, especially if you lack the employees or resources to complete data entry tasks.
Another way Apprentices can help is by converting data from one format to another. For example, transcribing audio, entering information into a spreadsheet or database, or updating records. Once the data is entered and organized into a useful format, the information can be used to create reports and contribute to actionable analytics.
With the knowledge that you have a capable Apprentice taking care of your data administration tasks, you can focus your time and resources on activities that generate income, such as business development.
