Dear
Siddharth
Sure,
I will phone you tomorrow morning at 10:30 am
As
far as what we are together trying to do, nothing explains it better than
following personal experience :
Some
30 years ago, on my 5 week long business tour, I took the last flight to Mumbai
from Singapore
As
soon as I settled in my seat, air-hostess came with a cart and started offering
me some non-veg items for breakfast
I
turned down one item after another
Superviser
Girl who was watching the air-hostess, immediately chided her, by saying,
“
Helen, don’t you know that Mr Parekh is a vegetarian ? Please offer him some
vegetarian breakfast ! “
I
was stunned !
Of
course, my travel agent had filled in “ Vegetarian “ as my food preference
while booking my tickets some 8 weeks earlier, but, out of 5 airlines only that
supervisor of Singapore Air took pains to carefully look up the passenger list
and remember that I am a vegetarian.
In
last 30 years, I must have told this story 30 times to people I know
No
one can figure out how much more business Singapore Air got out of this simple
acting upon info which all airlines possessed
Now
consider following scenario :
One
of our registered candidate, Kamala is looking at a product advt of Hitachi air
conditioner on her tablet, using “ My Jobs “ widget ( Version 2.0 )
Suddenly
her mobile rings and a voice says,
“
Hello Kamala, I am Sudhir speaking from Hitachi. Can I help you with some more
info on our latest air conditioners ? We even have an installment plan , etc “
I
feel Kamala , even if she does not buy a Hitachi air conditioner, will tell
this story to 10 friends in the course of the day !
And,
to provide such an experience to Kamala, does not call for rocket-science !
Our
web server knows ,
Ø Job Id of Hitachi
advt being shown on Kamala’s tablet screen
Ø Kamala’s mobile no
( even her Skype ID – if she has provided in her registration )
I suppose it cannot be too difficult to
pass on these info to Hitachi’s sales person ( or their call center ), within
seconds and automatically.
Now,
this is something that Google’s AdWord cannot do !
This
is just one part
Our
server can create a database of ALL the product/service advts that Kamala ever
“ clicked open “ thru My Jobs widget ( V 2.0 )
Soon
we would have her “ Preference Profile “ – and which keeps getting better and
better, with info on her “ latest quarter / current “ preferences as well
This
profile would go a long way for InMobi to target very precise product ads to
Kamala – resulting in a CTR of 10 % or more
We
are already compiling such a “ history “ of Job Advts that Kamala is looking at
on our web site at “ Job Suggest “ page
With
regards
