    1. Hone your math skills as you will be doing a lot of t-tests and such. Learn as much as you can about statistics.

    2. Learn more about marketing, of course.

    3. Study effective data presentation. It's one thing to make a table but another to make a table that will convey a marketing story for the customer.

    4. Learn how to write well. You will be writing lots of reports.
