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,

🧑‍💻 PROGRAM MANAGER

6/9/2000

Documents to be studied / Things to Do:

  1. Agreements with all types of "Allies" viz:
    • Partner Websites
    • Cyber Cafe
    • NACT
    • Colleges
    • https://www.google.com/search?q=S.kumars.com Ltd (at a later date)
  2. Partnerkit / HTML code for a partner to create templates / 1 page "instructionsheet" (given by Pritam) explaining "how to linkup".
  3. JobDescription "writeup" enclosed
  4. Incentive  Scheme (Copy with Chetan)
  5. Software Screens (prepared by Shalini) for maintaining complete HISTORY of all incoming / outgoing correspondence (mostly emails).
    • This MUST be kept uptodate at all times, so that, in respect of each & every partnerwebsite (and later, all other ALLIES, as well), we know precisely where the matter / negotiations

"stand" at that moment. It should be so uptodate that, in absence of a programmanager, anybody in 3P should be able to findout the "latest" position (visavis a particular website) and can decide, how to respond / how to followup.

This chronological "JANAMKUNDLI" (History) of each partner website (whom we ever approached with a proposal), is the MOST IMPORTANT document (of course, entirely computerbased) to be started & maintained by a Program Manager.

6. ADMIN TOOL

As soon as an "Agreement" is signed (–in many cases, even before signing– which is a mere formality), Program Manager must enter all details about a partner (website) into the ADMIN TOOL, then convey to the partner

  • UserName
  • Password
  • Unique No.

7. LIST OF "PROSPECTS"

There are over 9000 Indian websites! Neither can we approach

all 9000 simultaneously, nor would all of these be interested in becoming our "partner".

So, we must start by

Compiling a list of as many websites as possible (i.e. URLs). This will have to be an "ongoing" process. By the time, you compile a list of 9000 URL, it is quite possible that the list would have grown to 90,000!

By simply studying the URL, you will have to "guess", what that site could be about and whether it should be added to your "prospect" list

Having added a URL to prospect list, take a quick (max 5 min) look at the "homepage" of that URL, to reconfirm your earlier "guess" (that this website seems like a potential candidate). If not, remove from prospect list (final)

Each URL added to "final" prospect list, should now be used to

Create the "Janamkundli" (Screen developed by Shalini).

So, a "Janamkundli" is born with nothing more than a URL in the Screen.

Then, it will gradually grow, as you start sending emails (Make your website earn? // Salient features of Partner Program, etc.) and start sending "reminders" and start receiving some +ve (ve replies.

This should go on till the case is closed, oneway or another.

💼 Job Description

PROGRAM MANAGER

The Program Manager (PM) is the godfather of a particular program. In conventional marketing language, he is the PRODUCT MANAGER.

He is totally responsible for the success of the program

"Success" of any given program can be measured from the fact that how fast that program spreads / catchesup / becomes "popular"

  • Also "success" must be measured from how well the program performs its role.
  • If the "role" of a program is to bring in "resumes", how many resumes does it bringin during a week or a month?

So, the PM's performance must be measured by

  • How many "allies" the PM succeeds in signingup, each week / month / quarter / year?
  • How many "resumes" (+ job advts + shopping baskets, in case of partner website program) does the PM manages to rakein (thru all the allies) during a week / month / year?
  • So at first stage, PM's job is to
    • Signup allies
    • get resumes (or whatever).

After signingup, he must see that the allies "implement" the program, quickly / faithfully, in their respective premises / constituencies.

  • He must ask / oversee
    • Are allies making enough / sincere effort to publicise the program amongst its constituents / members / students / visitors?
  • He must constantly / continuously followup each & every ally & help them in implementation / publicity. This is a crucial "takeoff" phase  it is program

launch" phase, where / when the PM would be required to do a lot of "handholding" of each ally.

A PM may have to conduct "training / educating" classes / seminars / conferences amongst, the

  • Allies (of a particular program)
  • Endusers themselves (e.g. collegestudents / NACT students)

He must explain how the program works and whom & how does it benefit.

  • He must prepare
    • Slides
    • FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Of course, a PM would himself need to be a "thorough "expert" on

how our website works / operates

how our "businessprocesses" are carried out, both, online & offline.

what is / are our revenuemodels

what are our businesspolicies

"who" is responsible for "which" businessprocess in our organisation

How we keep / maintain statistics of resumes / jobadvts / shoppingbaskets / purchaseorders / invoices / clients / candidates etc etc.

What / which statistics an ally can find on his own personalpage on the website

Which / What statistics will be forwarded to an ally, every month by the PM himself thru emails

How databases get created on our website

How searchengines work on our site

What is the "rank" of our website each week on different "keywords"

# A PM is also the marketingmanager / publicitymanager as far as "his" program is concerned. He must prepare (and get approved) his own

  • Program Publicity Budgets & ActionPlans
  • MediaPlans
  • etc.

And then implement these plans.

ALL individualprogram publicity plans must be integrated into a MASTERPLAN, so that

  • Money/effort is neither duplicated nor wasted, by each programmanager acting independent of the other programmanagers.
  • The publicityeffort / money reinforces different programs.
  • There is a clear "Synergy" of efforts by regional programmanagers and the Corporate HQbased programmanagers, who are overall responsible for that program for entire country / world.

# The regional programmanagers will be responsible for successful launch / implementation of their respective "programs" in their respective "territories".

# A programmanager is responsible to solve all problems / answer all questions from (his) allies. He shall not pass the buck to anyone else!

A PM is the only interface between the allies and the 3P organisation.

# It is the duty / responsibility of the PM to ensure that the "allies" get their (due) payments promptly as per our agreement with them.

This means, the PM must keep track of all appointments / all invoices / all candidates appointed / all resumes recd / all shoppingbaskets recd

from each of "his" $\begin{cases} \text{allies} \\ \text{partners} \\ \text{affiliates} \\ \text{associates} \end{cases}$ (Whatever name)

Obviously, it is humanly impossible to keep track of all of these elements MANUALLY. It has to be

  • Computerised
  • automatic
  • allywise / territorywise / programwise
  • transactiondriven

right upto printing of cheques.

It would be the responsibility of the GENERAL MANAGER  PROGRAMS to conceptualise / writedown systemspecs / get developed, such a Comprehensive software.

This software should be WEBSITE BASED, so that, it can be directly accessed by

  • any program manager
  • any ally / partner
  • any of our own Consultants
  • HQbased GM (Programs)
  • " " Finance Officer
  • Regional Managers, etc. etc.

Total transparency is desired but "accessrights" would be predefined by GM (PROGRAMS).

# It will be the responsibility of each PM to give regular feedback to each of (his) ally / partner as to how that partner is performing visavis what is expected / targeted of that partner.

  • This would require settingup of agreedupon "targets" for each partner, for each period (month / quarter / year etc).
  • NO ally / partner should be allowed to operate in "vacuum", without a specific, time bound target!
  • It is so easy, both for the PM and the ally to sign an agreement and then forget all about it!
  • Idea is not to display on our website a huge dropdown list of our allies / partners under each program.
  • Idea is to get
    • resumes
    • Jobadvts
    • Shoppingbaskets
  • So, the partners must be "pushed" into

"performing" against "targets"!

There can be absolutely no shortcuts to measurement of performance against targets.

And this (Objectivesetting / targetsetting) must start with

  • each programmanager
  • GM (Programs)

# One important responsibility of PM IS "renewals" of all agreements BEFORE these expire.

# If any particular program needs development / improvement of specific software, it will be the responsibility of the PM / GM (Programs), to take up this matter with the TECHNOLOGY HEAD and get it implemented.

# Each PM (whether in a region or at HQ) must continuously scan newspapers / magazines / other sources and drawup a list of POTENTIAL ALLIES / PARTNERS.

  • He must pursue / persevere / persuade them to signup.

# It will be the responsibility of each PM to see to it that, as soon as a new ally / partner is "signedup", his name gets uploaded on our website.

  • In case of NACT / Eng. Colleges, the name has to be added to the dropdown lists (I belong to:).
  • In case of partner websites, it must be added on "Partner website" page (with a link).
  • We should create a similar page for "Affiliate CyberCafes", where names should be displayed.

# It is envisaged that before long, the dropdown lists (I belong to), of NACT & Eng. Colleges, would grow so long that it may take many "minutes" to download the "Submit Resume" page! This is simply

"unacceptable"! A surfer must be able to download all pages within 10 / 15 seconds at the most.

This means, before long, we would need to discontinue the dropdown lists of NACT & Eng. Colleges.

That would pose the problem:

"How do we link a particular resume with a particular NACT member or a particular college?"

Answer (possible):

Put "Submit Resume" forms (all 3?) on a floppy which also carries

$\begin{cases} \text{Password} \\ \text{User ID} \\ \text{Unique No} \end{cases}$ $\Biggr\}$ secret / invisible ?

of that NACT Member or Eng. College.

Then send this floppy to CONCERNED ally to download on his harddisk, for all students to enter resumes. When entire batch has done so, the file can be emailed to 3P, who will email back, each candidate his password / User ID / PEN, at his email address.

OPERATION BLACKHOLE

Enclosed find a "Data Sheet" format. I am sure you can improve upon it. I may have missedout some important "features".

Whatever data I had readily available with me, I have entered. You should find out all the "missing" data & quickly enter the same. You may also use identical format for whatever additional Indian jobsites that you are exploring everyday. Such a compilation will help you to recommend:

At which Sites, we should post a single jobadvt to see/findout, how many candidates respond from each such site. Our jobadvt should be real/live/genuine  and especially where our concerned Consultant is having difficulty in locating/finding competent candidates, so you should talk to all consultants.

For which Sites should we take

  • monthly
  • quarterly
  • annual

} subscription & obtain PASSWORD

Here, obviously those Sites which would permit/allow a Subscriber to conduct Unlimited RESUME SEARCH on their databases (both private & public), should be given first priority.

On the other hand, those Sites which would only sendout JOBALERTS to their members, but would not allow us to conduct a "resumesearch" of their database  would get SECOND priority. (e.g: naukri).

your study (properly documented as per enclosed chart) would also enable you to decide/recommend whether it is at all WORTH, to subscribe to infoFINDER GOLD (@ Rs. 300 p.m. = Rs. 15000 / p.m.).

It is no use subscribing if infoFINDER cannot "penetrate" the resumedatabases of the major Indian jobsites and,

having penetrated take "ages" to download a few resumes!

If we find that candidateresponse against JOBALERTS sent out by a particular WEBSITE (for a jobadvt. posted by us on that website), is GREAT, then we may ask,

"why bother for infoFINDER (GOLD) to download a few resumes after such a lot of trouble?"

Instead of indiscriminate downloading of allandsundry resumes, just to "inflate" our offline database, would it not be better to subscribe to 4/5 major Indian jobsites and post all of our executivesearch assignments in the form of jobadvts on these 4/5 sites?

Suppose, we get 100 candidateresumes from each such website, against our jobadvt., we may endup with 500 resumes from 5 sites!

First of all, we KNOW that these

Candidates are genuinely "interested" in our advertised job  they are not passive jobseekers. We don't have to first "shortlist" them and then sendout "interestletters" and await their response!

The very fact that they are "applying" against our specific jobadvt. means that they are definitely "interested".

After studying their resume, it is for us to decide, whether (and how many) they are "suitable/matching" our clients needs.

PROCESS # 1

Process # 2

Search thru database of downloaded resumes (from several websites  using infoFINDER) & prepare a shortlist of "suitable" resumes

Post our jobs on 4/5 leading Indian Jobsites which sendout "JobAlerts" to their members

Sendout "interestletters" & await response

Receive direct response from "interested" candidates based on CRUDE match.

Forward to client.

Refine searchresults & forward to client

 

In yesterday's meeting, Mr. Hitesh Oberoi of "naukri" made a statement,

"You spend Rs. 2 lakh / year on our Annual subscription (GALLERY) and we guarantee you an annual increase in income of Rs. 30 Lakhs!"

This may be a Salesman's pitch / bluff.

Or

it could be an eyeopener for us!

And

we need not feel "embarrassed" that we have to "advertise" our "jobs" on some other websites  although we have our own website!

Their (other websites') business / revenuemodels and our business/revenuemodel are totally different and it is a question of SYNERGY between the two. They are not competing for the same business viz: headhunting & placements.

Let us "leverage" their strengths  which is a large resume database.
