The second one is not as easily solved. If they distrust data in favor of their intuition they've probably been burned in the past or they fundamentally believe their intuition is superior.

For example the number of visits to a product page in the last week.
This is basically feature engineering and it’s one of the most powerful ways to finding high leverage insights.

Segmenting by customer attributes is even more powerful. These could be behavioral, temporal or demographic attributes.
Behavioral and temporal attributes don’t exist a-priori which means they’d have to be created.

Now imagine you segment this month’s sales by product:
- Product A sold $5000
- Product B sold $2000
- Products C and D sold $1500 each
Right away we have some incredible insights! They’re not actionable yet but we could either try to figure out why the other products didn’t sell or why A sold.
- Product A sold $5000
- Product B sold $2000
- Products C and D sold $1500 each

Suppose you run an ecommerce store that sells 10 products. Last month you sold $8,000 and this month $10,000. Say the growth is within your range of goals.
All is good right?

It’s the same thing as writing code. The skill moves from output generation to output judgment. Those who know how to write (prose or code) will be able to judge good output from bad output.
