Saving Current Values with Cascading LOVs - 0 views

  •  
    "Saving Current Values with Cascading LOVs A friend, Monty Latiolais, recently asked an interesting question regarding cascading LOVs: Say you've got two LOVs...STATES and CITIES. They both default to 'ALL' and 'ALL'. Since CITIES is dependent on STATES, as soon as STATES is changed, CITIES is blanked out. What should happen is that CITIES gets re-evaluated as in the following example... let's say STATES is ALL and CITIES is "Houston". If one then changes STATES to "Texas", CITIES should remain "Houston" as that is a valid value for CITIES. So basically, is it possible to maintain the selected value of an item if that same value exists in the list of values after refreshing? That's a great question! Thanks to new events in the APEX framework and Dynamic Actions the solution is far easier than it would have been in the past! Click here to see the demo but continue reading to learn how it all works… There are a three main events you need to be concerned with when it comes to cascading selects: change apexbeforerefresh apexafterrefresh The change event is a standard part of JavaScript and the DOM. This event fires when the user manually changes the value of the select list but can also be triggered programmatically via JavaScript. The apexbeforerefresh and apexafterrefresh events are custom events in the APEX framework. They fire just before and just after AJAX requests refresh something on the page. The events work with many items and regions that utilize this technology. In this example we have two select lists: parent and child. If you change the value of the child select list then the change event will fire and that's it. But if you change the value of the parent select list a lot more happens to the child select. Here are some of the highlights: The current LOV values are cleared out The apexbeforerefresh event is triggered An AJAX request brings back new values. This only happens if optimize refresh is set to false optimize refresh is set to true and

10 Reasons Why CEOs Don't Understand Their Customers - Forbes - 0 views

  • 1) Do bad customer experiences cause people to switch brands? In a 2011 research project conducted by CX application vendor RightNow, 89% of consumers said that yes, a bad experience has spurred them to switch brands. But in the brand-new study of business-executive perceptions that’s the subject of this column, only 49% of the surveyed executives said yes.  QUESTION: What steps do you need to take to close this dangerous perception gap? 2) While 97% of executives say CX is critical to the success of their company, and 91% say they’re committed to making their company a CX leader, only 20% would rate their own CX initiatives as “advanced,” with a dedicated CX leader in place, initial projects pushed to the optimization phase, and the overall project extended to new channels and groups . QUESTION: What are the obstacles preventing you from aligning your actions with your words? If you say it’s a “budget” issue, aren’t you really talking about strategic priorities rather than line items? 3) Most companies have a clear and direct understanding of the looming CX challenge and the powerful interaction of social media. The study found that the top two drivers for CX initiatives are (a) rising expectations from customers (59%),  and (b) the impact of social media on customers’ ability to broadcast good and bad experiences (37%). Now, even if you’re able to somehow rationalize those findings, here’s one that not even the most-accommodating executive can dismiss:
  • 4) Being a CX laggard can cost those companies many tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue: executives estimated that the lack of positive, consistent, and brand-relevant customer experience can cause them to lose out on a staggering 20% in annual revenue.
  • Worse yet, all that money’s likely to wind up in the pockets of your competitors!

  • 5) While 81% of execs said they believe that social media is an essential ingredient in delivering great customer experiences, 35% of responding companies still do not have social media for sales channels, and another 35% still do not have social media for customer service. QUESTION: How do you plan to close that dangerous gap?

Using Email to Get the Conversion (Without Stalking) | ClickZ - 0 views

  • The reality of the inbox is that people subscribe to a lot more stuff than they are committed to reading. As a result, they sift through the advertising and marketing noise to find the gems--the messages they connect with and that add value to their lives.
  • your email has to add value to your customers' lives
  • From your initial sign up process to the content and frequency of your messaging, your most important job is showing your audience that you respect the privilege of being invited into their inbox.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Rule #1: Don't ask for more information than you'd personally be willing to give. Asking for too much information in an opt-in form can be a major deterrent to visitors who would otherwise be likely to sign up.
  • Make signing up as simple as possible by requiring only the bare minimum. In many cases, this means just the email address. Every field you add to your form beyond that will decrease the chances of someone filling it out.
  • Here's another tip: If you really want to convince a visitor to opt in to your communications, make it clear that the value they'll receive greatly outweighs the hassle of signing up
  • An opt-in form that says something like "Sign up for our newsletter," doesn't offer any benefit to the visitor. Give people a reason to opt-in by offering them something they'll care about, like: "Sign up for our monthly newsletter and gain instant access to our 57-page e-book on X."
  • Offers of buying guides, e-books, case studies, online videos, and instant coupons are all great incentives to test.
  • I recently welcomed two kittens into the family and we buy our supplies from Petco. As soon as I signed up for Petco's Pals Rewards program, the store proceeded to email me every single day with a new coupon offer. Can you guess what I did? Yep, I opted out. I'll still buy pet supplies from Petco, but at some point, the annoyance became greater than the value of the coupons.
  • One of the most critical steps in structuring your e-commerce email campaign is to set the publish frequency to align with the types of products you're selling and who you're selling to. At a bare minimum, segment your audience into two broad categories of current customers and prospects.
  • When you're communicating with prospective customers, offer discounts, promotions and pre-sale notifications and buying tips in your emails, to move them along the conversion path.
  • You can further segment your email list by those you send to frequently, those you send to less frequently and those you send to only sometimes.
  • You'll find your sweet spot by tracking conversions from the list, looking at the opt-out rate and by allowing your audience to manage the frequency of the communications (for example, by giving them the option to change the frequency before they opt out entirely).
  • When most people opt in to receive B2B email communications, they are at the top of the conversion funnel; the "awareness" stage. A smart B2B email campaign will then provide the right content to bring the buyer deeper into the conversion funnel, with content specific for each stage of the buying cycle.
  • Here are some ideas to get you started: Explore learning concepts that get the reader up to speed on the ideas surrounding your services, and that demonstrate your brand's unique perspective.  Dive into the ideas behind why a service like yours is so important to customers, what to look for in a company, and how your service or ideas compare to others.  Answer common questions your prospective customers have at each stage of the buying cycle and even after the purchase.
  • Don't forget you're not selling to rational people. Most of the buying decisions in a B2B environment are based on what could happen if the choice is wrong. Unlike the consumer market, where an item can be easily returned if it doesn't meet the buyer's needs, making the wrong purchase decision in the B2B arena could be extremely costly.
  • Your goal as the marketer is to arm the potential buyer with content that will reduce any fear and uncertainty about selecting your business over the competition.
  • Think of topics like, "7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Choosing [insert your service here]" as a basis for building your case. If you have a sales team, ask them for the most common objections they hear from prospects, and create your content around the specific concerns known to be top-of-mind for many buyers.
