Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

JAM ADMIN ANALYTICS

Dear Mr. Bhatnagar

Commander of an aircraft or a ship, has his "flight deck". Here is where he sets course - then monitors feedback from instruments to make "course-correction". All monitoring in online / dynamic / in real time.

We present here, your own Flight Deck - in the form of JAM ANALYTICS.

We hope these online / real time statistics will help you to direct the efforts of your marketing team and to set goals / targets for them

with regards

Graph/Tabulation

How Does this Help?

1

Report of Registrations [Tabulation]

* Are new registrations keeping pace with your targets? * What is your "share" of the registrations? Is it getting better (or worse)?

2

Earnings Summary (Last 6 months) [Tabulation]

* How much are you earning every month from different types of SMS? * What is Month-Over-Month growth in your earnings? * How many subscribers are "Unsubscribing" (JAM UNSUB)?

TO BE INTRODUCED GRADUALLY

3

List of Jobsites/Corporate Websites (from where we download job-advts) [List]

* Are we aggregating jobs from a fairly large no. of Jobsites/Corp websites to be able to send millions of job alerts? covering a wide spread of roles & functions & every level?

(2)

4

No. of Job Advts. downloaded/processed [Graph]

* As time goes, are we downloading/processing ever-increasing no. of job-advts to keep pace with ever-increasing no. of JAMMERS?

5

Job Advt. Break Up Company function-wise & City wise graphs already uploaded, under "Where Are the Jobs?"

* Job-Advts are never spread evenly/uniformly, across all * Industries * Functions * Designation Levels * Companies * Cities

Nor are your mobile-subscribers.

Matching these two sets of databases [Jobseekers' Database Vs. Jobs Availability Database], will result in a fine-tuned marketing strategy for your marketing team.

Graphical "Job Market Profiles" can be delivered on WAP platform

(3)

6

Match Index [Graph]

* Match Index = $\frac{\text{No. of Alerts delivered}}{\text{No. of Alerts requested}}$

This Index will be made available: * Overall for World-Wide-Jobs * Overall for a given MSP * For an Individual Subscriber

This Index tells us all, how good is our "Matchmaking Ability", given all the fluctuations in * Industry booms & dooms [Supply Chain of Jobs] * Extremes of "Job Preferences"

7

Yield Rate [Graph]

* Yield Rate = $\frac{\text{No. of "Apply Online" clicks}}{\text{No. of Job-Alerts delivered}}$

This is the rate at which the No. of job-alerts delivered, are getting converted into revenue. Obviously you want as many job-alerts as possible to translate into "Apply Online" Clicks!

This RATE, will be displayed, at MACRO-LEVEL, for an individual MSP.

(4)

8

Database of JAMMERS [Tabulation]

* Each MSP will get to View/Download this database pertaining to his own JAM Subscribers.

This database will provide break-up of your registered mobile-subscribers, * City wise * Edu. Quali. wise } Mandatory Fields in Registration * Job Preference wise * Current Designation wise * Age wise

It is possible that, using our proprietary extraction software, we may be able to also extract and make available database, * Designation Level wise * Edu. Quali. wise * Current Employer wise etc.

This database will be extremely useful.

(5)

9

Database of Advertisers [Tabulation]

* During next 12 months, we would have downloaded & processed, over 2 MILLION job-advts. From these, we would have extracted, * Company Names/Addresses/Email IDs * Positions/vacancies advertised with Man-specifications for each vacancy * Job Descriptions for each vacancy * "Vacancy-wise" Frequency of advertising

This database would be made available to all MSPs - who in our opinion, have put into place, an aggressive strategy for marketing/promoting JAM amongst subscribers.

(6)

10.

A-B-C Analysis [Tabulation]

You want to know which 20% of your JAM Subscribers are generating 80% of your JAM revenues. You may want to reward these "high value" customers with something equivalent of "frequent flier points" (e.g: some "free" job-alerts SMS or "apply online" SMS, on their next re-charge card?).

11.

Life Time Customer Value - LTCV

Unless he becomes "self-employed", a jobseeker remains a jobseeker for most of his working life. Using appropriate commercially available software, we will project/compute Life Time Customer Value of each & every JAM Subscriber (MSP-wise).

This analysis will help an MSP project revenues that can be expected over the years.

(7)

12.

Loyalty Index

As MSP, you are compiling excellent/up-to-date statistics re: * No. of Subscribers "leaving" you * No. of Subscribers "joining" you.

But you have no clue as to * Who came from where (which MSP) * Who went to where ( )

At least for those, who may change MSP but continue to use JAM, we would make available to you, the Loyalty Index of each JAM Subscriber by compiling following data:

Subscriber Name:

While changing over from one Service Provider to another, a JAM Subscriber EDITS his "Mobile No/Service Provider" data, if he wants to continue receiving JAM Service. Our database stores all "movements" of each JAM user.

 

13. Conversion Index

For any given period (or cumulatively),

$$\text{Conversion Index} = \frac{\text{No. of JAM SUB (activations) SMS}}{\text{No. of T JAM (Inquiry) SMS}}$$

Very clearly, this Index tells us,

"How many inquiries are getting converted into activations?"

Inquiries (T JAM) are no more than an "expression of curiosity" on part of a subscriber. Activation (JAM SUB) is proof that we have succeeded in "selling the concept".

Hence this Index will indicate, as to how good we are at marketing the concept of JAM.

14. Churn Index

For any given period:

$$\text{Churn Index} = \frac{\text{No. of "JAM UNSUB" SMS received during the period}}{\text{Ave. No. of active Subscribers during the period}}$$

Some subscribers are bound to "deactivate" their service. Foremost reason could be they got a job and don't need job-alerts any more (atleast for a while!).

Hence a high Churn Index, may not be bad in itself - If it is due to the fact that jobseekers are finding jobs thru JAM! If this is the reason, those lucky jobseekers will talk highly about JAM, to their friends & colleagues - even when they have themselves ceased to using JAM.

If so, JAM reputation (as a job-finder) will spread by word-of-mouth, leading to many more JAM SUB (activation) SMS.

In turn, this would bring down the Churn Index!

15. Stability Index

For any given period,

$$\text{Stability Index} = \frac{\text{No. of JAM SUB (activation) SMS recd}}{\text{No. of JAM UNSUB (deactivation) SMS recd.}}$$

Obviously, we would want this Index to be above 10 i.e. for every JAM UNSUB SMS, we should receive 10 JAM SUB SMS.

But, what we could reasonably expect, is that this Index, initially starts at (say), 1000 and then gradually drops to 10. It is ok, as long as it "stabilizes" at 10!

5^\#$ Job Advt. Break-Up

We are already separating "Function-wise" & "City-wise" & plotting pie-charts. These charts are prepared for last 30 days. It should not be difficult to compile MONTH-WISE data and prepare a tabulation such as:

[Table structure titled "No. of Advts Downloaded from Major Jobsites" showing percentage share for major cities across months Jan, Feb, Mar, and Apr.]

Month

Jan

5%

Total

100%

 

We will take only MAJOR jobsites and only TOP 8/10 cities, for the purpose of this tabulation.

If Month-after-month, Mumbai's percentage share (market-share) is dropping (as shown hypothetically), it would be a clear signal that there is a geographical shift in the Job-Market. Such TRENDS would be of great interest to jobseekers/employers/state Govts/politicians/Prof. Bodies (even to jobsites themselves!) etc.

\#5$ Job Advt. Break-Up (Cont)

We can also plot a tabulation (like shown on preceding page) for FUNCTIONS

[Table structure titled "No. of Advts. downloaded from Major Jobsites" showing data for job functions across months Jan, Feb, and Mar.]

Function

Jan

Feb

Mar

Sales

%

Mktg

Once again, we may select only top 8/10 Functions (which make up for 80% of advts) - for plotting this table.

Once again, any shift in % market share would send clear signal to jobseekers, which functional-areas are in demand & which are not.

5^\#$ Job Advt. Break-Up.

So far, we have not found any Satisfactory/reliable method of categorizing job-advts

Industry-wise

Designation-Level wise

Actual Designation wise

But, I am sure, someday, we will find a solution.

"Actual Designation-wise" may be the easiest since we are capturing this field.

Problem is, a very small variation in writing makes it appear UNIQUE, an actual designation whereas, in reality, some 10/15 different ways of writing/spelling, may all mean, one $\&$ the Same! So, we need to first create "Synonyms-Rings" (CISYS has this feature). Then all, such, similar designations will get clubbed together and treated as ONE/SAME. (like proximity search ?).

\#5$ Job Advt. Break-Up.

This leaves us, creating such a break-up "COMPANY-NAME-WISE".

This may be relatively easy to create. We are capturing "Company Name" while processing.

Once again, we need to apply A-B-C Analysis. 10% of the Companies may be contributing to 70% of job-advts. Of course, after a while, even 10% of company-list may run into 10,000 companies! Currently, top 10% advertiser company-list may be, no longer than 100 companies. Then, it is somewhat manageable.

From April to May, our Yield rate has improved ($\text{from } 58\% \rightarrow 67\%$)

This, despite the fact that, for WWJ, as a whole, the yield rate has declined ($\text{from } 65\% \rightarrow 58\%$).

In May, our Yield rate is better than the overall rate for WWJ ($67\%$ as compared to $58\%$).

An MSP, whose rate "is WORSENING," will sit up & initiate (publicity/promotional) steps to reverse the trend.

ADMIN TOOL

Enclosed find some thoughts on design of Admin Tool.

We must design it in such a manner that

different "sections" of the Admin Tool are made "accessible" to

different "Agencies/Entities"

based on predefined "Viewing Rights".

Hence Admin Tool, has to be MODULAR.

obviously, you need to prepare a tabulation such as:

Viewers

Who will have Viewing Right?

Module

WWJ

Variable

Free Trial (Period and/or No. of job-alerts)

How does this "Vary"?

  • Different MSPs would want to offer different "free trial" offers to their subscribers, where either Period or No. of job-alerts during that period or both may Vary.
  • Then again, some may want

only MT SMS free

OR

only MO SMS free

OR

both "free"

  • Our Software/Admin Tool must be capable of catering to any/all permutation/combination of FREE TRIAL SCHEMES.
  • And each scheme may be UNIQUE for each jobseeker — in the sense that, new free-trial-"wallas" are continuously joining & exiting, all the time!

City/State/Country

How does this "Vary"? What is the impact?

  • Co-ordinates of a location are: city/state/country (3 dimensional cube) * And everything has a "location", whether

a jobseeker

a job-advt

a job-advertiser (employer)

a MSP

  • We will always need to see/View these three along following axis: [Hand-drawn diagram of a 2D plot]

Jobseeker

Job Advt

Job-Advertiser.

$\left.\right\}$ Since these are never UNIFORMLY distributed along any of these axis!

[Location] axis [city/state/country]

[Time] axis $\left.\right\}$ year, Month, Date (Period)

And people are always interested in making "comparisons" between [A] One city & [B] Another city [box] OR [A] One Month & [B] Another Month [box] etc.

AND then DRAW CONCLUSIONS/DEFINE PATTERNS/ PREDICT FUTURE TRENDS (Extrapolation?).

TIME PERIOD

How does this "Vary"? What is the Impact?

  • All data/record must carry a Time-stamp, so that, when any database is being searched, it should be possible to search it by "Time Period".
  • Time period Search must start at

MACRO-LEVEL Year 2004, 2005, 2006 etc.

Then drill down $\left. \right\}$ further to Month - Jan, Feb etc.

Then further drill $\left. \right\}$ down to Day - $1^{\text{st}}, 2^{\text{nd}}$ etc.

  • For "MONTH" & for "YEAR", we should have search feature (provision to compare

Year 2005 OR Year 2006

OR

JAN 2005 Vs. Jan 2006

to be able to see Month-to-Month or Year-to-Year % (Percentage) growth.

WWJ ADMIN TOOL

Variable

Corporate Job Advertisers (Employers)

How does this "Vary"? What is the Impact?

  • We will be delivering job-alerts (SMS) from job-advts posted by job-advertisers (employers). These could also be intermediaries such as Placement Agencies.
  • For each job-advertiser (Indian or Foreign), we want to compile (on a continuing basis), a "JOB ADVTS RELEASED HISTORY".
  • These HISTORIES will be "searchable" by

Time period

Advt - Function

Advt - Posting City

Advt - Designation (Vacancy - Name)

Name of Advertiser

Advt - Industry (we have to figure this out)

  • Besides ourselves, we may permit/enable some other AGENCIES/PARTNERS to search this "Job Advertisers Database as also "Job Advertisements" Database. Some AGENCIES may be allowed to Search/Shortlist/Print the results for FREE (eg: Newspapers/Cyber cafes/TV channels etc) - IF that would get us FREE publicity.
  • We may permit Corporates & Jobseekers to PULL this info as SMS on their mobile and pay for the same to MSP - who must give us a share.

WWJ ADMIN TOOL

Variable

Jobseeker

How does this "vary"? What is the impact?

A jobseeker can be

a casual Visitor to WWJ (not registered - but exploring various pages/features and we might want to "capture his clicks to know, which page he is visiting and what is he doing. His behaviour - and the pattern (of behaviour) of ALL such casual Visitors will tell us a lot of interesting things.

a duly registered MEMBER

- this is our current focus and we want to capture every click to create "history (pattern)" for that individual.

an "Unsubscribed" (past) member

- We want to retain his history & keep in touch with him thru mass-emailing

a "Re-subscribed" member

- We want to welcome him "back" to the "community" & observe differences (if any) in his CLICK-HISTORY in his earlier avatar and his current avatar!

WWJ ADMIN TOOL

Variable

How does this "Vary"? What is impact?

Service Providers

1) Mobile Service Providers/Landline phone Cos.

$\downarrow$

2) Any Portal (eg: Rediff/Yahoo etc)

All of these

3) Newspapers/Magazines

could be

4) TV Channels (JAT-Job Alert on TV) Interactive DTH/

Indian

5) ISPs/Cybercafes

Foreign.

6) Broadband Providers (Sify/VSNL/Reliance etc)

7) Placement Agencies

8) Jobsites

9) Corporates (for CAM) etc. etc.

10) Cable Operators

All of these are our "Distribution Channels/Delivery Mechanism", thru whom, we want to distribute "content" (Job-related or candidate related) to those who are interested in such content.

As far as possible, we will try to ensure/select those "Distributors/Dely. Channels," who have already created/put-in-place, a robust mechanism for $\textcircled{1}$ charging their subscribers for this content $\textcircled{2}$ collecting fee/charge for the content.

Only if they collect, they can share their revenue with us. But there will be instances, when we may give away our content in return for non-monetary benefits (Trading bricks for Jade!).

WWJ ADMIN TOOL

Variable

Jobsites (from where we download)

How does this "vary"? What is the impact?

It may be an "Indian jobsite or a "Foreign" jobsite. If "foreign", we need to capture the "country" (where hosted).

We are going to offer a CHOICE to each jobseeker to receive job-alerts for any given "country".

We may, someday, even offer a choice to jobseekers to pick/select any particular jobsite(s) from which he wants to receive job-alerts. Then this field will become part of the "Job Preference" Form.

With different jobsites, we may enter into different arrangements/agreements/alliances.

These could be for

* Daily sending us their job-advt database (fresh) in XML format

* On their server, installing Gurutime/GuruSearch/GuruAd etc (on royalty payment or even FREE).

* Paying them a small percentage of revenue earned by us, everytime a jobseeker clicks "Apply online" on a job-alert (Which came from that particular jobsite).

* Pooling their "Resume Databases" with WWJ

* Agreeing to BROADCAST (to their candidates), job/vacancies, posted on WWJ etc. etc.

COUNTERS

You have already made a provision for display of counters on WWJ. These could be on homepage (my preferred location) or on some relevant "inner pages".

These could be on relevant inner pages in addition to being on homepage. In such matters, duplication only helps.

See enclosed list of counters.

Out of these,

We will certainly NOT want anybody to see #6 & #7! Only we should be able to see them thru ADMIN TOOL.

#4 (No. of Apply Online clicks)/#5 - Feedback Emails

If these fig[ures] become substantial after a while, we may consider making this info "PUBLIC" to all visitors.

Rest could be displayed publicly from day ONE - and should be.

You are capturing all the transactions anyway.

JAM/WWJ STATISTICS

Ultimately we will need to develop hundreds of statistical tables and trend graphs/charts for JAM.

Some will be meant for our own internal use only, whereas from the others, we will try to generate additional revenue-streams!

Some tables/graphs we may give away free to Jobseekers/Corporate Advertisers/mobile service providers (MSP), to make them "stick" to our site/service (loyalty). There is no doubt, someday JAM will get "copied" by competitors. At that time "Brand Loyalty" will prevent JAM subscribers to ditch us and move out to other (similar) service-providers.

Remember, to "retain" an existing customer costs maybe 1%-5% of what it costs to "acquire" a NEW customer!

I have already compiled a fairly long list of statistics to be generated. But I STILL have to create actual "Table/Graph" designs, so that there is no confusion over WHAT is needed and in WHICH format. This will take some time.

28-05-04

But, in the meantime, there are two statistical tabulations, which we will need to look at DAILY and right from day ONE!

These will tell us (with complete clarity),

A. Whether JAM is picking-up/growing and at what "rate" (growth-rate)

B. Whether JAM is getting us any money and how fast.

The (tentative) formats could be as follows

A. JAM SERVICE REGISTRATIONS

Date

Service Provider

No. of Registrations

Month

BPL

Besides our own info, I would also like to (selectively) email this data to one (or more) Service providers to motivate them to put in more marketing effort to catch-up/overtake those Service-providers who enjoy a much larger "market-share %" of JAM.

I WILL also use these statistics to convince those service-providers, who

[Page 2/4]

have yet to make-up their mind, whether to Sign-up for JAM or not. When they see that one or two Service-providers are Signing-up thousands of mobile-owners, then, they too, will get Convinced!

In fact, even a much more powerful "incentive" would be a tabulation as follows:

JAM SERVICE "APPLY ONLINE" CLICKS

we don't need to share/publicize

'Apply online' Tariff fixed by each provider (Although, this would be public knowledge)

our % revenue-share from each provider (even this cannot be kept a secret!)

But any smart Service provider, can easily figure-out, what revenues are his competitors earning, by one look at the above table! You don't need to be a genius!

Amongst the Service-providers with a meagre percentage (%) of Total clicks, we have to create a "Competitive feeling".

[Page 3/4]

B. Like any good "BIRLA", we must have our own, Simple "padta" system, which tells us, how much money we made at the end of each day! And for this, we need a tabulation like below:

Ave. Revenue/click (Rs) = $\frac{\Sigma \text{C}}{\Sigma \text{A}}$

Someday, for ease of understanding the "trends", we will convert both of these tabulations into a no. of graphs. In the meantime, these tabulations will be our SCORE-BOARDS

and you cannot enthuse your players to play well/better, unless you give them feedback (DAILY) about their SCORE/RUN-RATE etc!

statistics

Using the 7 DIMENSIONS shown on p. 1 & 2 - and the data captured under each "field" of each "dimension" -

we can compile an enormous amount of statistical "TRENDS" (Analytics), to figure out

  1. How slow/fast is our business growing?
  2. In which "Respect/aspect/region" is it growing "slow" & Where "is it growing" "fast"?
  3. How much REVENUE is JAM generating
    • daily
    • weekly
    • monthly
    • quarterly
    • annually
    • overall "total"
    • from each Mobile Service Provider
    • growth-rate (%) of Revenue (from PERIOD X to Period Y).

Of the three items mentioned above, the third (viz: REVENUE GENERATED) is the MOST IMPORTANT/VITAL.

Not only we must know (tabulation & graphically)

How much money are we "earning" every day (or for any "period")

But we must also know,

Which Mobile Service Provider is giving us "MAX" revenue "MIN" revenue

[Page 3/]

We must monitor closely

Mobile Service Provider-WISE revenue-generation "trends".

This is all-the-more important, because, "Revenue-share percentages" & "Apply-online" Tariff may differ from one mobile service provider to another mobile service provider.

Some Mobile Service Providers may have a vast no. of combinations of following factors:

Service Provider

Tariff Rs/Apply online click

our share of Revenue

No. of subscribers opted for JAM

Ave. YIELD % (c/b)

$\downarrow$

Hutch

BPL

Tata

Bharati

So, it is quite possible, that TWO mobile-service providers may give us SAME/IDENTICAL weekly/Monthly "Revenue" but with totally different "combinations of FACTORS!

A simple A-B-C analysis of revenues-received from different mobile-service-providers (by descending order arrangement) will not do! we need to get "behind the numbers":

There is a reasonable chance that

we may get all the mobile-service-providers to keep/maintain the same tariff (Rs. 1/- per "Apply Online" click);

however,

It is very likely that depending upon their

  • Subscriber Base (their "bargaining power")
  • proposed marketing / promotional spending,

they will "dictate" (-and we will accept), differing "Revenue-share percentage" from different service-providers.
