The mailer gives a feeling how the organization feels about their subscribers, who pays monthly subscription to be part of the network. They are just addition to growing number of sitting ducks for TATA Sky who can be easily targeted by the advertisers.

 Can’t ad agencies treat customers in a better way ???

Off-sites trainings are fun and this is my second off-site training camp in People Interactive within six months. Now this is advantage of managing multiple portfolios and slogging.  I got to go out with both software and product offsite to take break from work at makaan.

We had a training, presentations, Jam …

This week has left me weak … this is not what extended weekend are meant to be. Still recovering from the pangs of deadly viral. High fever has forced me to stay indoors and eat very little (surviving on mostly liquid died). Even now as fever is gone , there is a feeling of weakness. 
So after a long time, I am looking forward to Monday. Hope I recover fully to resume work.

Why do customer buy our products?
 
a) We feel your product is the latest.
b) We have a best marketing plan.
c) We have the best solution for the customer need.
 
Obviously C, customers buy our product not for any other reason. Customers will be happy and keeping come back to us if we keep meeting their need. We should strive to not only meet but exceed customer’s expectations. And while doing so there are moments where the customer feels delighted.
 
The delight come from the “experiences ” we give to the customers and not the product. The experience offered to customers …

My fond childhood memories of Chacha chowdhary , Sabu , rocket (Chacha’s pet dog) are back. Chachaji can solve all the problms in the world cauz ”Chacha ka dimaag computer se bhi tez chalta hai” . Watch him in new avtaar making Rajnikant and Mithun da the superstar.
