Published by ManojRanaweera on December 29, 2009

Having met Marc Benioff on 8th Dec 09 in London and having finished reading his book, “Behind the Cloud” recently, I will be sharing my experience against Marc’s through a series of blog posts. In his book, there are 111 plays. I will be picking plays randomly and would like to invite you to do the same by leaving you experience as comments against my posts. But before I can start, here is a reality check: Marc was well connected, influential, secure and financially stable before he setup salesforce.com. In addition, he lived in the epic centre of technology, San…

Planning tools – removing duplication – plan for 2010

Published by ManojRanaweera on December 24, 2009

As I am in the thinking mode, one thing I am not good at is sticking to one tool for planning instead of using multiple tools. Just to get my head straighten, I thought it would be better to write it down, so here goes. 1. iGTD (1.4.5.6) from fasticon/James Wondrack – great little GTD tool for Mac. It synchronises with iPhone app Todo (1.6.1) through Appigo Sync (0.9.6 Beta) and Mac’s own to do items displayed through iCal and also on iMail. iGTD2, the replacement to iGTD caused problems in the past with synchronising. With my intention of keeping…

Options for charging for leads – fixed or per lead basis

Published by ManojRanaweera on December 22, 2009

Since the soft launch of edocr.com in Oct 2007, we have been delivering value to our users and customers. The value delivered right now can be categorised into “exposure” leading to “prospects contacting you”.

We now need to figure out the best way to commercialise the new value addition, “leads”. The two options available are: 1. Charge per lead 2.

Payment Solutions beyond paypal and others

Published by ManojRanaweera on December 22, 2009

I have a problem, both as a buyer and seller on payments using credit cards. I am convinced this problem is not unique to me. As a buyer – mailchimp as an example My HSBC credit card was recently cancelled due to two fraudulent transactions in the US. While I am waiting for a replacement card, my subscription to mailchimp has been halted. This causes a number of difficulties: 1. I cannot use the service to communicate with edocr user and customer base through monthly newsletter. 2. I could use my personal credit card, but this becomes a menace from…

Lead Capture – Your ideas for edocr.com

Published by ManojRanaweera on November 26, 2009

On Monday, our development team will start developing sales lead capture functionality.
