As far as the updating of the " Corporate Email IDs Update " is concerned , the tool
developed in ADMIN section , is not of
much help
Once I tried using this - with help from Kailas / Sanjivani -
and could not understand how it works ; or help , if it works
The way it is designed , it will take an
entire day , to find / insert , correct Email Ids for 50 / 70 companies !
At this rate , it will take ages to correct all
Thereafter , I sent to you , a detailed proposal - as also
explained during my last visit to your office - how we need to go about this
task , so that it gets done in one day
Of course , it would need writing some simple software
But , I do agree that 50 % bounce rate is
BAD !
But even if we succeed in replacing existing , wrong email IDS
with such , " Most Likely "
email ids as ,
> Contact@
> Feedback @
> Sales @
> Marketing @....etc
( based on %age occurrences of each of these in our database ) ,
we will never be sure that the RIGHT persons will receive / read
these
But , we will know that these will not bounce

HCP Sir,
About the revision
in target dates, the team says that it has happened due to new changes being
asked before the scheduled changes. Since new changes have been taken up
instead of scheduled changes, the scheduled target dates have shifted later.
e.g.
Compose Message
Page changes were scheduled for 10-Nov-14, they were delivered on 10-Nov-14.
Registration
Page changes were scheduled for 14-Nov-14, delivered on 14-Nov-14.
Blast Messages
– City-wise Page changes were scheduled for 28-Nov-14, were ready on 28-Nov-14
and uploaded on29-Nov-14. This was even though the logic of city selection had
to be re-written from multi checkbox-based to drop-down based.
After this, we
were scheduled to take up ‘Blast Messages – Industry-wise’ and finish it by
12-Dec-14.
But, instead of
this, we were asked to make following changes in ‘Blast Messages – City-wise’
page
· Modification of Cover Letter
· ‘Blast Message – City-wise’ – on
selection of city, show popup of industry-wise tabulation of companies
· Extract tabulation of City-wise No. of
Companies in India from database
· ‘Blast Message – City-wise’ – view for
Casual Visitor
Of these, 1st
3 changes are already delivered. Last change is scheduled for 19-Dec-14.
Changes to
‘Blast Messages – Industry-wise’ will be taken up only after that. Hence its
schedule and schedules of subsequent modules have shifted.
Having said
this, I will still ask Nitin and Satish to review that and see if they can
finish them earlier.
About promoting
B2B Message Blaster, I had voiced my concern about the quality of our e-mail id
database in our last meeting. Whatever blasts have occurred, there doesn’t seem
to be any proper response to our subscribers. The mails that have come back are
bounced mails or ‘… no longer works here’ mails or ‘out of office’
auto-responders.
We are pushing
‘Make In India’ to enable our service from their web site. If at all they agree
to our contention & do that and the foreign companies use that service,
they may be totally dissatisfied with the response. If they complain,
Government of India may come heavily on us due to loss of their face.
I feel we
should clean up our database and establish it in private sector first before
offering to such high-profile Government sites as ‘Make In India’.
Since this is
our core offering, I feel having good quality database is very important.
I of course
defer to your judgment. We will be guided by your instructions.
Regards
Shuklendu

Despite
my spending several hours daily for sending out Promo Emails , for the past 6 months
, B2B has still not caught the imagination of the Corporate
My
only hope is to get Amitabh Kant to agree to upload on MakeInIndia web site , that page titled " Database of Indian Companies "
Considering
that it is a Government Web site , I do not have much hope of this coming
through
In
which case , B2B will need to succeed without leaning
on MakeInIndia support
That
is only possible , if we introduce NEW / USEFUL features , in quick succession
If
we still fail to generate decent revenue , we may need to re-consider our
strategy
I
am sure , you appreciate that , we cannot sustain incurring losses for
long . We don't have VC funding or deep pockets
I
request your help
