> **WhatsApp -- Amina Msangi** > > Hi, this is Amina Msangi. I am the Managing Director of Soma Books -- we run three bookstores in Dar es Salaam. > > I was given your contact by a colleague who said you could help with data analysis and dashboards. > > I have 18 months of sales data from our three stores. I need an interactive dashboard that lets me explore the data -- drilling into stores, categories, time periods. Right now I rely on weekly summary reports from my managers and they only show totals. I want to see the details myself. > > I will send you the data export. It has every transaction -- store, date, category, subcategory, title, author, price, quantity. About 42,000 rows. > > Could you let me know your approach? I have specific ideas about what I want to see but I would like to hear your recommendation first. > > Thank you. **Suggested message button options:** 1. "Hi Amina, thanks for sending the data. A few questions before I start -- can you tell me about any differences between your three stores? Pricing, customer base, anything that would affect how I compare them." 2. "Hi Amina. I'll start by profiling the data to understand what's there. I'll follow up with questions once I've seen the shape of it." 3. "Amina, thanks for reaching out. When you say 'interactive,' what does that look like for you? Clicking on a store and seeing the details, or something else?"
