JAS:
Job Advt. Summary
(for
printing by Newspapers)
Since
you have managed to
1️⃣ follow-up this matter with
the editors meticulously and
2️⃣ establish a personal
“rapport” with these (very) senior persons through your persuasive style,
I
would like you to continue with this good work in future.
The
newspapers/publications should be segregated into following separate
files/folders:
#1
Those who have already “registered” (online or offline – team FAX) and
to whom we are already sending daily email (LEXCEU) JAS.
As
soon as each offline “fax” registration is received, same should be handed over
to Rahul to take following action:
a)
to upload registration details from the backend and start daily emails
b)
to upload name of publication on our FREE CONTENT page (WWW) under link
“Already Publishing”
You
should check with Rahul that the JAS emails have started going. Then check (by
phoning) with publication contact persons whether he has started receiving
regularly. If he faces any problems, get Rahul to speak to him over phone &
sort out the problem.
Find
out (gently insist) as to whether they expect to start printing.
I
forgot one VERY IMPORTANT step!!
As
soon as you receive a faxed registration (or even an online reg.), you must
fax/courier (both) our STANDARD TEMPLATE, according to which the
newspaper should carry-out actual printing.
The
reason this (step) is important is —
hat
many newspapers are NOT giving/providing enough space at the bottom for
(a
small hand-drawn box illustration appears here showing the layout)
---------------------------------------
| |
| |
| Instructions |
|
www.World-Wide-Jobs.com ←
"credit/source"
---------------------------------------
This
defeats our sole purpose behind giving daily FREE content, viz:
Free
Publicity for WWJ.
Instructions
must be readable, and our Website URL must be in as large fonts as possible —
so that it gets noticed by jobseekers and so that at least some jobseekers are
tempted to log in to WWJ & find out more — and hopefully register as well!
This
is our ultimate goal/objective in trying to get 400 newspapers around the
country to start printing JAS every day.
Viz:
→
200 million readers (of these 400 newspapers) must get to see, day after
day — after day — our brand
World-Wide-Jobs.com
so
that, someday, our brand becomes even more well-known than Coca-Cola!
This
is why we must repeatedly (but gently) persuade newspapers to use a larger
font. They will resist our “request” — but we have to persevere.
Every
month, we should phone/email and ask them to send us (through courier) latest
printing of JAS, so that we can monitor/keep track of the font-size being
used.
This
is also the reason why the sentence highlighted in the enclosed page should be
in larger fonts & made bold.
By
couriering them our TEMPLATE, we can insist that they religiously follow
the same. We should point out any deviation made to save space.
#3
Those newspapers to whom we are about to fax our proposal
Based
on Vithal/Pande’s database, Reena has planned to send out emails + to fax to
some 500 newspapers — most likely on Monday (30th Jan).
All
of these will require phoning, 3/4 days after fax is sent. Besides trying to
find out whether they have received our fax or not, you should also use this
opportunity to systematically compile following info during your phone call:
- What
are correct phone no. / fax no.
- What
is correct email ID
- Who
is the “Contact Person” & his/her designation
- What
is the direct no. / mobile no. of the contact person / his email ID / his
personal fax no.
- Correct
postal address etc.
Maybe
you can write down these info into a photocopied FORM (with name of
publication in bold at the top), even as you are talking/asking questions.
Of
course, if you order some good quality headphone (ask Reena) and have MASTER
PUBLICATION DATABASE on your PC, you may be able to enter such
details/corrections directly into the database, without having to write each
one.
But,
for some reason, if you cannot help writing down on a form, then after your
phone call, you can handover the forms to Pande to edit the database
immediately.
In
the enclosed file, you’ll find that I was making/entering my “remarks” (after
each telephonic attempt to contact) on a piece of paper, mentioning date etc.
I
was forced to follow this 50-year-old method because I don’t know how to use a
computer!
But
I am sure this cannot be the case with you. I believe you are well-versed with
the use of computers and you should avoid all these laborious/manual entries on
pieces of paper.
You
should use one of the simpler “Project Management Softwares” — (I am told MS
Office already has such a software built in) or what they call
PIM
= Personal Information Management Software
or
a Contact Mgmt Software.
Any
one of which Reena/Rajita can find for you.
With
your dedication — and help from Reena, Vithal, Pande, Rajita, Rahul —
I
have no doubt you would convince 400 newspapers to start printing JAS by end
of 2006!
Good
Luck!
