Understanding CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to managing a company's
interaction with current and potential customers. The CRM approach tries to analyze data
about the customers' history with a company, to improve business relationships with
customers, specifically focusing on customer retention, and ultimately to drive sales growth.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management)
Types of CRM found in the market: 1. Operational, 2. Analytical and 3. Collaborative
Our CRM is Operational and Analytical by nature; it takes care of the day to day
operations of the any office environment and the analysis of the leads with the calculation of
the RoI (Return of Investment).

Kit-19 PPC (Google Adwords) Module


Lets look at the concept of PPC and learn about Google Adwords and the
role it plays in KIT19.

ay-per-click (PPC), also called cost per click (CPC), is an internet advertising
model used to direct traffic to websites, in which an advertiser pays a publisher
(typically a website owner or a network of websites) when the ad is clicked. Pay-per-click is
commonly associated with first-tier search engines (such as Google AdWords and Microsoft
Bing Ads).
With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target
market. In contrast, content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a
bidding system. PPC "display" advertisements, also known as "banner" ads, are shown on
web sites with related content that have agreed to show ads and are typically not pay-perclick advertising. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have also adopted pay-perclick as one of their advertising models. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click)

Understanding Google Adwords


Google AdWords is Google's advertising system in which advertisers bid on certain
keywords in order for their clickable ads to appear in Google's search results.

Note the Features of Google Adwords:

Targeted Results
Campaigns are Measurable
Pay only for results(i.e. when your advert is clicked)

Does AdWords Work?


Depending on the competitiveness of the keywords you're bidding for and the relevancy of
that keyword to real conversions for your company, AdWords may or may not work for
your business. For the most part, we've found that Google AdWords is extremely effective
for many kinds of businesses, as long as they don't waste their money on the wrong
keywords, or write weak, low CTR ads.

The cost of AdWords depends on several factors. These factors will impact your ad spend,
and simplify the concepts youll need to understand in order to set a realistic budget for your
ad campaigns (and determine if you should use AdWords at all).

Google AdWords is based on an auction system that rewards businesses who


have high-quality ad campaigns with lower costs and better ad placement.
You can exercise tight control over how your AdWords budget is spent using
tactics like ad scheduling, geotargeting, and device targeting.
The average cost per click in Google AdWords is between $1 and $2 on the
search network. The average CPC on the Display Network is under $1.
| 77

The most expensive keywords in AdWords and Bing Ads cost $50 or more per
click. These are generally highly competitive keywords in industries that have high
customer lifetime values, like law and insurance.
Giant retailers can spend up to $50 million per year on paid search in AdWords.
The average small business using AdWords spends between $9,000 and
$10,000 per month on their Google paid search campaigns. That's $100,000 to
$120,000 per year.

How Does AdWords Work?


Before we dive into the figures and start talking cost, its vital that you know how the
AdWords platform actually works.
One of the biggest misconceptions about AdWords is that whomever has the most money
to spend has the most influence. While a bigger ad budget never hurts, AdWords is actually
a more level playing field than many new advertisers realize.

The Ad Auction
The ad auction begins when a user enters a search query, after which Google determines
whether the query contains keywords that advertisers are currently bidding on.

FIGURE 1.77 references http://www.wordstream.com/articles/what-is-google-adwords

If advertisers have bid on some of the keywords in the users search query, the ad auction
begins. The purpose of the auction is to determine Ad Rank, or where each ad will be
| 78

positioned. The auction determines the inclusion and placement of ads according to the Ad
Rank formula based on two main factors maximum bid and Quality Score:

FIGURE 1.78 references http://www.wordstream.com/articles/what-is-google-adwords

Once your Quality Score and Ad Rank have been calculated, Google uses this data to
determine how much youll pay each time someone clicks on one of your ads. This formula
looks like this:

Understanding the Reseller Concept


A reseller is a company or individual (merchant) that purchases goods or services with the intention of
selling them rather than consuming or using them. This is usually done for profit. One example can be
found in the industry of telecommunications, where companies buy excess amounts of transmission

usually would have domain name (web page/portal) with which they create their identity in the market.

For existing domains we would require c name (canonical name), this helps us to
host the reseller.
A CNAME (Canonical Name) points one domain or subdomain to another
domain name, allowing you to update one A Record each time you make a change,
regardless of how many Host Records need to resolve to that IP address.

Understanding the Channel Partner


A channel partner is a company that partners with a manufacturer or producer to market and sell the
manufacturer's products, services, or technologies. This is usually done through a co-branding
relationship. Channel partners may be distributors, vendors, retailers, consultants, systems integrators
(SI), technology deployment consultancies, and value-added resellers (VARs) and other such
organizations. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_partner)
With the idea of expanding geographically we as an organisation ventured into the concept of Channel
Partners. This partnership will enable the Channel Partner to expand his territory and have a fruitful
association.

| 121

Benefits given to the Channel Partner


Virtual CreditsIn Computing- Virtual would mean something that does not physically exist as such but made by
software to appear to do so. For example, virtual images, virtual credits or virtual balance.
Here, for our Channel Partners we are providing a panel with a facility of Virtual Credits, this gives
freedom to the Channel Partner to sell more credits without actually purchasing them. In the real world
the channel would have to invest first before making a sale, here the channel partner would be able to
meet the clients requirements without blocking his investment.
Application in the Channel Partners nameThe application would be in the Channel Partners name unlike a reseller where we do only a Cname pointing. Also, the application would be hosted on our cloud.
Single RouteFor our resellers we offer multi route, for example Promotional, Transactional, Transcrub and
Critical. Here, for our Channel Partners we one single route for all types of SMS services which gives
them the flexibility to sell the products which suits their customers need without any additional cost or
delay.
White Labeled ProductsAll products that are made available to the channel partners would be White-Labeled, which means
that the channel partner can brand the products as his own which would help him establish himself in
the market.
Full list of ProductsAll the products of like SMS, CRM, Microsite, Kit19 and Kitever would be made available to the
Channel partners. Not only can they sell these, our Channel Partner would have the freedom to create
their own packages which help to meet the customers need.

that is provided he/she lands on the microsite. The Page Views and Lead Generations are reflected in
the Edit Profile also all the information is saved in the CRM tracker. Then we can login to CRM to
check the total number of leads received and from which source this helps in calculating the return on
investment.

Can you give an comparative analysis about traditional marketing and digital marketing?
S.No

Traditional Marketing Medium(Print, FM)

1.

Visibility created through Newspaper/FM


etc, RoI not captured, is very expensive
In this method Brand visibility is
created through Newspaper, Television
Advertisements, FM (radio) however
this is expensive and RoI (Return on
Investment) is not captured.
Only Marketing
Traditional method focuses only on
Marketing.
60% of the Revenue comes from Followup
We know that revenue is generated
through followup and this method
doesnt focus on followup only on
marketing

Visibility created and its cost effective, RoI captured

4.

No specific Target Audience


Traditional method doesnt have a
specific target audience.

5.

Very Expensive only for big players


This is a very expensive method and
only business owners with big budget
have afforded such campaigns.
Campaign life temporary
Traditional methods lifespan is short
and the cost is high this makes it
difficult to maintain.
Budget and Content is not in your control
In traditional method, the campaign is
run by a third party and because of this
the budget and content in not in your
control.
Focuses on one aspect
Traditional Marketing method focuses
only on one aspect which is the
marketing through one specific
medium.
No Digital Identity
In this method, there is no digital
identity created, it just uses different
medium to create brand.
This method is getting obsolete
The traditional is getting outdated as
we can see that nowadays lesser
number of people are reading paper
or using the television, today people
read the news or watch programmes
or movies on their phones.

Targets the specific audience


In Digital Marketing, we can plan campaigns for
specific audience, this helps in getting better results
for the campaign.
Very Cheap, can compete with big players
Digital Marketing is a cost effective method and this
makes it possible for small or medium business
owners to compete with big players in the market.
Campaign life unlimited
In digital marketing, the campaign has a long life,
when a campaign is run the customer can save the
details and can get back to you after sometime.
Budget and Content in your Control
In digital marketing, the campaign is run by the
person and has complete control in making changes
if the existing campaigns need any change; this gives
the business owner control on budget and content.
Focuses on the entire cycle
The Digital Marketing method focuses through the
entire cycle, from generating the leads to capturing
the leads and followup to closing for revenue.

For how many days can I see my delivery report?
Sir/Mam, your delivery report is available in your panel for 7 days from the date of sending. For
reports earlier than 7 days, you may mail us a request but due to the huge database size, we usually
dont store reports. Hence, it is highly recommended that the report is downloaded within 7 days of
sending itself.
In case, you require an older report we would request you to send an email regarding the same we
would get the report from the operator and forward you the same.
Can you describe your all features or give me a demonstration?

| 131

Of course Sir/Mam, Id be most happy to. Our application provides you with the ability to send
thousands of messages in a single click. You can store all your contacts, be it personal or official and
group them under different heads. This will save you the time for selecting recipients.
Apart from this, you can schedule messages for a future date and time and you can even send
personalized messages through csv import. In case, you are already using some other application for
managing your customers, you can integrate our API in your application and start sending messages.
These are the features of our application.
However, based on the purpose for which the SMS is sent, TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of
India) has classified them as:
1. PROMOTIONAL SMS sent for promotional purposes, these SMS are usually sent by
companies/individuals for commercial gain; and
2. TRANSACTIONAL SMS sent to existing customers where the message content is limited to the
services already availed by the recipient and there is no promotional content for other services or
upgrading of services
All transactional Messages and Sender Id have to be approved by the operator before sending.
Why have I not received any SMS, of the demo you were giving?
Sir/Mam, the most probable reason of your not receiving the message could be that your no. is
registered as a DND no. For this please check at http://nccptrai.gov.in
If your no. is not registered as DND no., if its not then it may be taking some time due to latency at
the operators end however you will receive it in maximum 4 hours.
How long would it take to deliver the messages?
Sir/Mam, promotional messages are usually delivered within 1-4 Hrs while transactional sms are sent
within 1-60 minutes. However, on certain days like New Year Eve and Diwali or during elections, the
volumes go up and it may take a little longer.
Are SMS sent to non-existent no.s also counted?
Yes Sir/Mam, from our gateway, if a message is being sent to a non-existent no. or a no. which is
switched off or with inbox full or not reachable, the message will still be counted because the sms goes
from a SMSC (Short Messaging Service Center) and the charges are for transmitting the message and
an SMSC of one operator can in no way know whether a number exists or not before transmitting it.
This concept is different than making a call because in a call, it is your talk time which is counted where
as in SMS, your message is attempted to be transmitted because of which the bandwidth has been used
and hence the charges.
When can I see the delivery report?
Sir/Mam, the delivery report keeps on updating as soon as you send messages. However, there are
cases when the recipient is not available on that moment because as the number maybe not reachable
or switched off, the operator tries to send the message for 24 hrs. It is after 24 hrs that the full report
shall be clear.
I have doubt, in prepaid services how we can be assured about your services and if your
services will not be working properly than what we will do?
Sir/Mam, We are a pioneer in the industry and we have been working in the industry since 8 years and
entrusted by over 50000 businesses as a technology partner. We are serving corporate houses like
| 132

VLCC, Aakash Institute, ICICI Bank, PNB Dubai, Investors clinic, Investors Choice to name a few.
We are a private limited company incorporated and registered with the Registrar of Companies,
Sir/Mam, we are an organization driven by Values and integrity and our business depends on the
recurrence of our clients,
So, Sir/Mam, we wont spoil a recurring customer for a small gain. In fact, Id like to invite you to
our office so that you can have a look at our setup and Im sure youd be more comfortable in
transacting with us.
Which gateway do you use?
We are using multiple gateways like Tata, Idea, and Airtel etc. to ensure that your sms is quickly
delivered.
To whom we would send the messages because we dont have data?
Sir/Mam, we provide complimentary data that is effective and selected profiles data on which you can
send your messages or you can use your own data. This website has multiple options by which you can
add up or manage ample amount data.
. What kind of data will you provide us and would it be DND filtered Data?
The data contains persons mobile number and name. The data consists of different states of India and
No, it will not be DND filtered Data though the application will by itself filter the DND no.s to ensure
compliance. We assure 80 %to 85 % authenticity of Database
Tell me one thing frankly; SMS process is really profitable?
Obviously Sir, we are having around more than 10,000 clientele in SMS services. I would like to tell
you one example that, if you send 1 lakh SMS, it means that you communicating your message to 1
lakh prospects and such reach will ensure maximum returns over investment as compared to any other
method.
Apart from this, an SMS & Email has more life than any other advertisement media, be it an ad in the
newspaper, Television, magazine or a brochure. Unlike these mediums, SMS remains in the users
mobile memory unless deleted. Now even if 10-15% of the recipients respond, the deal will surely be
worth. Sir these SMS are very effective in following area:
Advertisements
Brand awareness
Brand promotional activities
Better networking and operation
Low cost and short time
Very easy and friendly to use.
More effective and considerable.
There are ample amount of benefits we can have by this services.
What is TRAI?
TRAI stands for Telecom Regulatory Authority of India; this is an autonomous body which is formed
to regulate the telecommunication industry.
Who is your competitor in the market?
| 133

Well Sir/Mam, we are unmatched when it comes to the no. of clientele in this industry. We are
entrusted by over 50,000 business owners, a figure not yet achieved by others in the same business. We
are on the pinnacle and pioneer in the market.
How much do you charge for this service?
{As per the current charges}
Your prices are very high?
Sir, the SMS service depends on volume and deliverability. Sir, first of all Id like to tell you that SMS is
a market which has more than 90% unorganized players. No doubt the market has always lost trust
with such players.
Sir, as you know, that no one would like to do business for loss. The SMS market offers very lucrative
incoming of resellers because of which just 2-3 people start running SMS business which very low
investment. We have over 500 resellers & I will not refrain in saying that some of them even offer a
lower price to the customers than what they are getting from us. It clearly shows the intention of the
vendor is not running the business but just a short term gain. Sir if the operator is not providing the
cost that they are offering, it surely means there is a catch.
If I tell you that Ill charge only 5ps/SMS for 1 lakh SMS, & then go on to deliver only 50% SMS, then
of course it will cost you 10ps/SMS. Sir, my advice is that before purchasing from anywhere please
verify what is the size of the company? How many support staff are there? How long have they been in
business? Whether the company is a Pvt ltd company? Whether the company is independent or a
reseller to a company? Whether the company has its own application, its own servers, if so where are
their hosted? What is the size of the research & Development unit, if they have any?
Im sure after getting answers to these questions you will prefer a genuine price than the one which is
manipulated with tricks. Our cost has minimum margin & we depend only on the volume and
recurrence of our clients for profits. We would certainly not like to manipulate our clients for a short
term gain & loose a prospect for our other products.
We can send message from our mobile or there are some another websites available by
which we can send message free of cost.
Yes, you can send some message from free messaging services website, but there is always a catch. In
some sites, you can send only a limited no. of sms in a day while in others, you co-promote with the
sponsor of the SMS.
What I want you to know is that these sites dont give sms for free, since SMS has a cost and it doesnt
come from you, it comes from somewhere else. Lets say, if you dont want to pay for the SMS then
theyll add half the content of their sponsors message with yours like suppose you send one message,
with that message there would be so much information engaged with message that would be free
advertisement you will do for others on your data. With that message there would header and footer
system like Sunday ho ya Monday roj khao ande or piyo roj amul dudh.
Dont you think 160 characters are very less?
| 134

I do agree with you. 160 characters are very less, but you can always send a longer message. However,
the sms credits shall be increase with every multiple of 160 characters, that is 160 characters message
