I have trained a RandomForestClassifier from Python Sckit Learn Module with very big dataset, but question is how can I possibly save this model and let other people apply it on their end. Thank you!

The recommended method is to use joblib, this will result in a much smaller file than a pickle:

from sklearn.externals import joblib
joblib.dump(clf, 'filename.pkl') 

#then your colleagues can load it

clf = joblib.load('filename.pkl')

See the online docs
