Question: Which sales channel was most preferred in commercializing products in January 2020 based on the number of orders placed?
Evidence: order refers to OrderDate; in 2020 refers to Substr(OrderDate, -2) = '20'; January refers to Substr(OrderDate, 1, 1) = '1';  most preferred sales channel refers to Sales Channel where Max(Count(OrderNumber))

SQL:
SELECT `Sales Channel` FROM `Sales Orders` WHERE OrderDate LIKE '1/%/20' GROUP BY `Sales Channel` ORDER BY COUNT(`Sales Channel`) DESC LIMIT 1
