Evil of Outsourcing
Customer Experience, WOW Factor, Customer orientation ... all these are jargons used by many so-called-the-business-legends. Many Business corporations fall into the virtual word webs these consultants during the initial interaction and start following just like a nerd. To be honest, I've never seen any consultant who can aptly define or say what is a customer orientation.
Is it just about giving the right product at right time to the customer? Well I feel it is much more than that. Companies often think that once the product is sold,they have won the customer. They implement all kind of CRM products to track what he wants and when he wants. Mind there is NO such CRM software in this world that is customer centric. All the CRM softwares you name it SAP or Seibel or Clarify just mine the data of existing customer, form a pattern out of it. They DON'T interact with actual consumers to gain data. Its all the company centric or focused information. You feed in data which is comfortable or relevant to your company / product.
A couple of weeks back, I went to a famous discount store in the city. After all my purchase, during billing an executive of the store came to me and asked, "Sir, we found that you are purchasing products worth more than Rs.XYZ and we are willing to give you a ABCD Card of our store. You can avail many discounts and prizes for the rewards point accumulated in the card for every purchase. Its a lifetime free card" . Though, I normally don't entertain these kind of impulse selling, keeping in mind that I may shop at this store in FUTURE, I accepted his offer. We signed a couple of documents and stamped all the relevant photocopy for proofs. He said, "Sir within a week, you will get the card at your residence".
Three days later, I got a call from PQR Bank asking for verification. I wasn't aware that this store is associated to this bank for credit card. So I promptly denied of applied for any credit card with PQR Bank. A day later, I got another call from the same bank, asking for verification, still I couldn't remember that I've applied for any card with the bank and I denied it. There after I didn't get any calls from them.
Yesterday, when I went back to the same store I met the executive. He asked " Why did you do like this sir?". I said," What I have done?" . He said, " Our people from PQR bank have been trying for verification, but you denied for applying any card. You have signed all the papers for the same last time." . I just then understood the link. I told him, " Boss, I honestly doesn't know that its for the card I have applied with you. They haven't told me that its for ABCD Card. They were selling for PQR Bank Card. Ask them to do verification another time, I would take it up".
What's wrong or what went wrong with the situation. They were trying to sell me a product with brand name ABCD which was then associated with another brand PQR. When they have outsourced everything, the backend team knows only about PQR and not about ABCD. The customer knows only about ABCD and nothing about PQR. They lost a sale here.
The evil of outsourcing is to maintain consistency in passing the information. Communicate & Collaborate are the TWO big thing that should be taken care when the business is outsourced. Due to mis interpretation and mis communication, both ABCD Store & PQR Bank have lost a sale. The executive lost his commision. The verifiying Agency lost a transaction. The verifiying agent lost his incentive.
Is this company a customer oriented company??

Sport Leagues of India
Well, I'm not going to discuss something just about Bhajji - Sreesanth controversies. You could find a lot about them in other Blogs or website. And being in a nation that worships Cricketers as god and cricket as a religion , I feel like better stay away and watch it.
Sports Leagues are not new to India. We already have Mohun Bagan, Mahindra United or Kingfisher East Bengal for football sport which was well established. The only drawback is less promotions and audience didn't give exposure to these clubs.
What makes ICL & IPL more interesting is not just the sport, but the money rolling into these. It seems over $2 Billion is the amount revolving in one or other form in IPL through various channels like franchising, advertisements, marketing, Bids etc., Though copied from the UK based sports leagues one should appreciate the BCCI team for setting up a successfull League like IPL.
I asked my friend, who played in couple of Ranchi Trophy matches about what does these Leagues bring in to our country. Some of the very interesting things I noticed are,
1. These helps in knowing well about other country players.
2. Suppose to create a good relation with peers of domestic & foreign players.
3. More professionalism in the sport.
interestingly,
He said this will develop maturity among the hardcore cricket fans. We all know what happened to Dhoni's house when India didn't reach semi finals in World Cup. That's because they don't have enough maturity to understand the loss. These kind of format will make them to understand what is loss and make the crowd more balanced personality.
And the drawbacks,
Lot of money rolling, so chances of more betting and gambling. More bookies, more dirty games might be played. Its very hard to neglect gambling in sport, but then I feel govt can better legalize it to some extent. Everyone know alcohol is bad for health, but no one is interested in banning it, because it makes money for country. Similar way they can make this gambling a legal business and generate money out of it.
Counter for this arguement can be - Better get back the Lottery System :D

How expectation can ruin your life
Last week my friend called me up and said, "macchaa antha Uma Maheshwari kandukave maatengrada". He spoke as a frustrated guy and was in a critical position of getting mad soon.
Okay before getting further onto the topic a small intro about my friend, A well to do software guy, who fell in love every year right from his 8th std on some or other gal. Fortunately or unfortunately few gals do reciprocated the "feelings" which he properly converted to a relationship. But he never carried this relationship for long time. Either the situation makes way or he creates situation in such a way that they broke up after sometime.
Everytime he broke up he will come to me and cry and say this my last love affair and will never marry anyone. But you can see him again with some gal the very next week in some cafe coffee day or Besant Nagar beach.
Coming back to the story, this gal Uma Maheshwari, was not so close to him. They started chatting an year ago and she already had an affair with some guy which broke up after getting a good slaps from her father. Now this gal was pretty clear in her relationship with my friend. She wasn't interested in being love with him or marry him. For that matter, even or hero was not interested in marriage.
I asked him why he would be interested to have a relationship for not having a long term relationship. I asked, what is his expectation from her? He replied, "I just want her to be friend of mine". Soemthing was strange, I told him, "she is still your friend. Then why do you bother?". He said," I don't know, but I want her to be mine"
Okay, now this guy doesn't want her to marry, but should be in relation which is above friendship. After a few more conversation I understood that this guy need some psyhic treatment. The reason behind his restlessness is he never faced a failure from any of his past affairs with ladies (I make it generalized WOMEN factor). Neither his mother, nor his sister has opposed his expectations, they primarily left for his choice. The same happened for him with his previous relationships where he infact USED his galfriend for his purpose and left them as it is. Even the gals haven't opposed to this kinda activity.
I might use some strong words here, but when we analyze thoroughly, there are many people like this in our society who unknowingly become male chauvinist. This guy is in serious danger that when he get married and if his wife is of opposite nature, both their life would be in chaos.
When I tried explaining him, he nodded his head, but after few days he came to me and said "machha, I can't forget her" . It is something that he only can try changing it.
Guys be careful. Its not everytime you can dominate WOMEN.
Gals try to say NO when it is neccessary. Otherwise you will feel bad at later point of time.

Sema Vetti
Last week met my buddy who recently shifted his job from a small company to a big one. The new job didn't add much value interms of salary hike or position. I was surprised to know why he then joined the big company. Is it just for the sake of Brand Name it carry? I got another surprising answer: NO
He said, " maccha, my parents are searching a bride for me past one year. The gals are expecting the groom to be in some big company. About 10-12 alliances were rejected because of this reason. There was heavy pressure from my mom & dad to switch job. Infact I didn't even bother to negotiate during my interview though I had a good chance fearing of losing the oppurtunity."
I was hearing these kinda stories (????) for quite sometime. Another friend of my mine said the Brand Conciousness is very high with brides these days. Top companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tata Motors, Birla, Bajaj, Reliance have become household names these days. People are recognizing them next to Government Jobs. And if you are not among these then it becomes ridiculous for you to get a gal.
Any thoughts????
