Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh
27 June 2013

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Thursday 30 January 2014

FW: B2B Status


Nitin


On how many occasions , do B2B need to send out emails  ?


> " Activation Link " when a person " Registers " as a subscriber

> " Blasted Message " to the recipients

> A short ( < 144 character ) email to the Sender when any Recipient responds

> A mail telling the Sender whether his draft - message is " Approved " / Rejected

Unsubscribe Link below each message

>  At the bottom of the Registration Form ,

   (  ) We wish to Unsubscribe  " -- to send De-Activation Link

>  Any Other that I may have overlooked  ?

Therefore , do we need additional Email Ids  ?

Dear Sir,

Following changes are carried out  B2B – Companies  & Uploaded on server
1.     Write a Windows-based tool to send marketing message mails to companies. This has to be done for all the Blasts created during the day by different subscribers by selecting Industry + Country/City combination. This tool will be without user interface and will be schedulable at any time of day. (Task Not  Scheduled – awaiting for Mail From ID)
2.     “My Blasts” page, where subscriber can see List of All their Blasts. Against each blast, subscriber will view the original selection (industry & cities) and list of companies matching this criteria. Subscriber will also see when the mail was sent to the company.
3.     Site Statistics Page (Public)
4.     Our Subscribers Page


Regards,

Nitin Ruge

I refer to our telecon yesterday afternoon - and again in the evening

I continued checking B2B web site till late for upload of " My Blasts " page

But no luck  !

I hope you will do that , first thing today morning .  Pl phone me as soon as done

Although , right now , I find that the server is DOWN , once again , this morning !

I am sure , you will re-start it remotely ( we are closed today , but Kailas can be reached on mobile , if required )

Later in the morning , I will send drafts of 5 promo emails to you and Kailas

These will be released on 1st Feb ( next Saturday )

That gives you 6 working days ( including today ) to complete and thoroughly test the balance work

Good  Luck  !

Also advise the status of the items on which Satish is working

As soon as any U/I gets ready , I suggest that you show me thru TeamViewer , so that , changes , if any , can be made fast

On Feb 1st , I have planned to sent " Launch Emails " to :

> Approx 2.26 lakh Recipient Companies in database of B2B

>  Some 16 lakh other Companies for whom , we have Email Ids

> Approx 400 Members of Parliament

Shuklendu

Thanks for fixing targets for completion of pending work

However, before launching on 1st Feb, we must also complete the following :

> " Statistics - Public " page

> " Our Subscribers " page

>  Histat / Feedjit Counters on all pages

These 3 items are VERY IMPORTANT from the viewpoint of getting to know , who / how many people are visiting / how many are registering / how many are doing what

Without these INSTRUMENTS , we will be flying " blind " !

Another VERY IMPORTANT item , ( which , I have repeatedly stressed ) is :

> Displaying BLANK tabulations , on all pages

The subscriber-related DATA will get shown , only when a Subscriber logs in

But ALL casual visitors MUST get to see , blank / unfilled tabulations , with Headings of each column

That alone will tell them ,

" This is what I can expect to see , if I were to register / use , this site "

That alone can SELL our site  !

You will also remember that we had discussed / agreed that , as soon as a RECIPIENT ( of a marketing message ) replies ,

our Server will send out a SHORT email to the SENDER ( write-up given to you )

That email , hopefully , will appear on the Smart phone of the SENDER

That will prompt him to visit / log in to see the FULL response on " View Feedback " page

Pl confirm that the above will be taken care of before launch

Following main programs are pending for B2B – Companies:
5.     Write a Windows-based tool to send marketing message mails to companies. This has to be done for all the Blasts created during the day by different subscribers by selecting Industry + Country/City combination. This tool will be without user interface and will be schedulable at any time of day.

7.     “Feedback Monitoring” tool: the From Id of the blast mail will be set to recruitguru mail id. Hence any response from the receiver will come to us and not to subscriber. This mailbox will be configured in MS Outlook in our server. Hence all the feedback mails will reach our server. The Feedback Monitoring tool will be a Windows program which will monitor this mail box. The responses from various blasts belonging to different subscribers will keep coming to this mailbox. The tool needs to identify against which Blast Number this response has come (for which subscriber, against which marketing message, from which recipient). The tool will then mark the feedback against the blast number in the database.
8.     “View Feedback” page: In this page, subscriber will see who has responded to their marketing messages.

The target date for completing items 1 & 2, is 23-Jan-14 (1 week).
Target date for completing 3 & 4 is 31-Jan-14.

I will put additional resource if required this month. Next month onwards 1 person can continue at usual 2 days per week. We will choose the person who has understood the software better.

Next month we will complete B2B – Associations by taking B2B – Industries as base and making necessary changes.
March, we will start B2C.
