Why are B2B marketing teams steadily moving toward Applied Data Science for Sales and Marketing initiatives?

Data science is revolutionizing analytics initiatives across all departments.

One specific example is the use of supervised and continuous learning for lead scoring. Previous lead-scoring techniques were either manual or based on limited fields/datasets marketers believed had a large impact on conversion.

Further, these models continuously learn and improve, resulting in much greater score accuracy overall.
