Hey guys! Stumbled across this group recently. I've been searching for a good resource to build a ground up understanding of machine learning and its potential applications for intelligent marketing. For context, I own a small pressure washing franchise and have been amazed at the amount of data we collect and have access to that isn't being fully utilized in my opinion. I'd love to connect and bounce some ideas around, especially with the fellow new guys trying to work through the basics like me!

@Aaron Carlock At a high level, we are essentially documenting every step of the sales process very carefully. This actually represents a lot of data over the years. As a basic example, for any given client or prospect, I could tell you exactly how many emails were sent before a decision was made, what the service offered is, and at what price point. We also have access to all property data associated with addresses. So one naive idea I have just starting out is to build a model that can take property data as an input and output a price point for a given service along with a confidence interval of the likelihood that the proposal would be accepted. Again, I am extremely new to data, so I am not quite sure yet what is possible, but at the very least I am excited to see what's possible with the data we have.
Kaggle Competition Recommendations
Looking for recommendations on interesting kaggle competitions to take a crack at. I've found tremendous value from doing the starter Titanic competition. It is a perfect way to learn some basics by just jumping in and doing some data science. Have y'all done any other competitions that were particularly interesting or educational?
