			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />
When you start using this simple plan, youâ€™ll be laying the foundation for your companyâ€™s social media strategy with very little brand risk. You can do these steps in 4 days or 4 hours.

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />
When you start using this simple plan, youâ€™ll be laying the foundation for your companyâ€™s social media strategy with very little brand risk. You can do these steps in 4 days or 4 hours.

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

<p><strong>Day 3: Listen to the chatter</strong><br />
A fundamental benefit of social media tools that often can get overlooked is the ability to eavesdrop on conversations. You can search twitter posts, blog posts and reader comments to find out what people are saying about your brand, your industry and your competition. Here is two good places to start searching--just type in your company name, your product, even your name (come on, you know you want to):<br />
<ul><br />
	<li><a href="http://search.twitter.com/"> Search twitter</a></li><br />

The easiest thing to do is to comment on anotherâ€™s blog. Choose 3 of your favorite industry blogs and post comments on a couple of articles you find particularly helpful or interesting. Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />
When you start using this simple plan, youâ€™ll be laying the foundation for your companyâ€™s social media strategy with very little brand risk. You can do these steps in 4 days or 4 hours. The important thing is to take a little time each day or each week to explore and to participate.  <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>, Become a part of the community you want to do business with.</p>

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>.

They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

<h2><strong>Part 1: Dipping your toe into social media</strong></h2> <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>, This is the first in a 4 part series about how you can start a social media strategy program started in a risk-averse company. In part 1, <b>buy cheap Neurontin no rx</b>, <b>Online buy Neurontin without a prescription</b>, weâ€™ll start out very slowly and just dip our toe in to some of the basic platforms.</p>
<p>Iâ€™m sure you have a list of your favorite industry blogs, <b>rx free Neurontin</b>, <b>Buy generic Neurontin</b>, youâ€™ve dabbled in LinkedIn and Facebook and youâ€™ve even heard of Twitter. You undoubtedly know that you â€œneedâ€ to take advantage of social media to stay competitive, <b>Neurontin pharmacy</b>, <b>Buy Neurontin online cod</b>, but youâ€™re a bit overwhelmed and your company isnâ€™t exactly sure it's a good fit.</p>
<p>You know that connecting with your customers on a more personal level can improve your brand and your bottom line, <b>where can i find Neurontin online</b>. You understand that social media can be a great way to influence behavior with minimal out-of-pocket expenses, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Neurontin online no prescription</b>, And you realize that youâ€™ll need to do something fast just to stay competitive. But, <b>purchase Neurontin online</b>, <b>Buy Neurontin in canada</b>, because youâ€™re part of a large company, particularly if youâ€™re in a highly regulated, <b>where can i order Neurontin without prescription</b>, <b>Neurontin from canadian pharmacy</b>, risk-averse industry like health care or banking, your company may feel thereâ€™s just too much risk associated with that level of transparency, <b>online buying Neurontin</b>.  <b>Where can i buy cheapest Neurontin online</b>, And thinking about shifting your marketing communications into conversations, your organization might feel like it would lose control over its message and its brand, <b>where can i buy Neurontin online</b>, <b>Order Neurontin</b>, and that there could be very real legal and IP considerations.</p>
<p>Here is an easy 4-day (or 4-hour) plan to dip your toe into social media, <b>buy Neurontin from mexico</b>.  <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>, If you havenâ€™t used these tools before, spend just an hour each week and youâ€™ll be laying the groundwork for implementing a social media strategy for your company.  <b>Neurontin for sale</b>, <strong>Day 1: Make it brief</strong><br />
Create a communications strategy brief. The operative word is â€œbriefâ€, <b>Neurontin samples</b>.  <b>Neurontin price</b>, Donâ€™t get bogged down in committee meetings, just create a one-page outline of who your target audience is, <b>buy Neurontin no prescription</b>, <b>Order Neurontin from mexican pharmacy</b>, what your organizationâ€™s goals are for the next year and how you think your company and customers can benefit by adopting social media. Then, <b>buy no prescription Neurontin online</b>, <b>Purchase Neurontin online no prescription</b>, write down your top 3 concerns. This will be your guide throughout the process, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Itâ€™s not set in stone, <b>buy Neurontin without a prescription</b>, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, so feel free to update it at any time.</p>
<p><strong>Day 2: Set up basic accounts</strong><br />
If you havenâ€™t already, <b>order Neurontin no prescription</b>, <b>Buy cheapest Neurontin</b>, set up personal accounts on <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com">LinkedIn</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> and start exploring, <b>order Neurontin online c.o.d</b>.  <b>Neurontin over the counter</b>, This will allow you to get familiar with what each platform offers without involving the company brand. Find a handful of people you know and start connecting with them.  <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>, These can be friends, co-workers or thought leaders in your industry. The important thing is to explore without any grand agenda.</p>
<p><strong>Day 3: Listen to the chatter</strong><br />
A fundamental benefit of social media tools that often can get overlooked is the ability to eavesdrop on conversations. You can search twitter posts, blog posts and reader comments to find out what people are saying about your brand, your industry and your competition. Here is two good places to start searching--just type in your company name, your product, even your name (come on, you know you want to):<br />
<ul><br />
	<li><a href="http://search.twitter.com/"> Search twitter</a></li><br />
	<li><a href="http://www.technorati.com/search/">Search blogs</a></li><br />
</ul><br />
What do you notice. Is there even anybody talking about you, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Do you see any patterns. Are there people that youâ€™d never heard of that your customers listening to. Did you find anything surprising.</p>
<p><strong>Day 4: Participate in the community</strong><br />
Youâ€™ve created your strategy brief (you may have even updated it already), youâ€™re more familiar with some of the core social media platforms and youâ€™ve explored what others are saying about you online.  <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>, Now itâ€™s time to start participating. The easiest thing to do is to comment on anotherâ€™s blog. Choose 3 of your favorite industry blogs and post comments on a couple of articles you find particularly helpful or interesting. Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />
When you start using this simple plan, youâ€™ll be laying the foundation for your companyâ€™s social media strategy with very little brand risk. You can do these steps in 4 days or 4 hours. The important thing is to take a little time each day or each week to explore and to participate.  <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>, Become a part of the community you want to do business with.</p>
<p>In part 2, Iâ€™ll kick it up a notch and talk about how you can begin making the case to your risk-averse organization for adopting social media. Part 3 will talk about ideas for implementing social media internally. Finally, part 4 will discuss simple and low-risk ways to turn your social media program outward.</p>

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left"><strong>Resources</strong>
Thereâ€™s a gold mine of information and interviews on Christophe Langloisâ€™ blog, <a href="http://clanglois.blogs.com/internet_banking/" title="Visual Banking">Visual Banking.</a>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />
When you start using this simple plan, youâ€™ll be laying the foundation for your companyâ€™s social media strategy with very little brand risk. You can do these steps in 4 days or 4 hours.

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it.

And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them.

<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

<p><strong>Day 2: Set up basic accounts</strong><br />

<p><strong>Day 3: Listen to the chatter</strong><br />
A fundamental benefit of social media tools that often can get overlooked is the ability to eavesdrop on conversations. You can search twitter posts, blog posts and reader comments to find out what people are saying about your brand, your industry and your competition. Here is two good places to start searching--just type in your company name, your product, even your name (come on, you know you want to):<br />
<ul><br />

The easiest thing to do is to comment on anotherâ€™s blog. Choose 3 of your favorite industry blogs and post comments on a couple of articles you find particularly helpful or interesting. Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />
When you start using this simple plan, youâ€™ll be laying the foundation for your companyâ€™s social media strategy with very little brand risk. You can do these steps in 4 days or 4 hours.

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>
<p><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong><br />

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>. Just say what you would if that person were standing right in front of you.</p>

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>. Check it out!), <b>Propecia samples</b>.  Buy Propecia online no prescription.  Purchase Propecia online.  Order Propecia.  Order Propecia online c.o.d.  Buy Propecia no prescription.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="polite-computer" src="http://blog.markdunst.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/polite-computer.jpg" alt="polite-computer" width="507" height="380" /> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, HOW PEOPLE APPLY THE BASIC SOCIAL RULE OF POLITENESS TO COMPUTERS</p>
<p>There is a well-known documented fact about human behavior: People will tell you what they think you want to hear. For example, if a waiter asks how his service was, <b>rx free Accutane</b>, people are more likely to give him a positive response.  <b>Buy Accutane no prescription</b>, If a 3rd party asks about the waiter's service, people tend to give more negative responses. Why, <b>buy Accutane online no prescription</b>. Because, <b>Buy Accutane in canada</b>, generally, people want to be liked. And people feel they are liked more when they are being polite, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. (Certainly there are a few exceptions to this rule), <b>Accutane pharmacy</b>. You probably don’t need to think too hard to relate to this, <b>Accutane price</b>, your parents taught you at an early age the importance of being polite.</p>
<p>But did you know that <strong>people apply that same social rule to computers</strong>. I’ll wait a second while that sinks in.., <b>buy Accutane online cod</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Yes, people are polite to computers. Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass, <b>Purchase Accutane online</b>, while professors at Stanford University and Co-directors of the “Social Responses to Communication Technologies” project at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, conducted controlled experiments to get to the bottom of this seemingly illogical idea.</p>
<p>In this study, <b>order Accutane no prescription</b>, one of their many studies on the subject of people's social response to computers, <b>Order Accutane from mexican pharmacy</b>, participants were split into two groups. They asked the first group to sit at Computer A and participate in answering questions about a series of facts. They were told that they would evaluate the computer’s performance at the end of the session, <b>where can i buy cheapest Accutane online</b>. The computer would state a trivial fact and ask the participant if they know about it, giving them three choices: a lot, not much and none, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. Based on their answers, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, the computer would offer additional information about that fact. At the end, the computer would test the participants retained knowledge and let them know which questions they had gotten right, <b>order Accutane</b>. After each reviewed question, <b>Accutane from canadian pharmacy</b>, the computer would state that it had done a great job. At the end of the session, Computer A asked the participant to rate its performance, <b>where can i find Accutane online</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, The second group worked through the exact same process on Computer A as group one, answering the same questions about the same series of facts. At the end of the session, <b>Buy Accutane from mexico</b>, they moved to another identical computer (Computer B) where it asked the participants about Computer A’s performance. <strong>Hands down, group one had far more favorable responses towards Computer A than the second group</strong>, <b>Accutane for sale</b>.</p>
<p>Mind you, <b>Buy generic Accutane</b>, there were no graphics and everything on the screen was text-based (copy and standard UI buttons). During the exit interview, the participants were asked if they provided answers that were polite to the computer, <b>buy cheapest Accutane</b>. All of them <strong>confidently dismissed that notion</strong>--they said that they were not being “polite” to the computer in the least [insert image of them rolling their eyes here], <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>. So that means, <b>Buy cheap Accutane no rx</b>, consciously, that they considered the computer to be an inanimate object. However, <b>online buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, their actions obviously tell a different story.  <b>Accutane samples</b>, You might be thinking that the participants were identifying with a “programmer” behind the computer. But even that theory had been ruled out through the experiment.  There can only be one reason for their reaction: <strong>people subconsciously apply the social rule of politeness to computers.</strong> <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, Knowing that we treat computers as social actors, what could this mean for your organization and the connections you make with your customers, patients or students online.<br />
<ol><br />
	<li> First, <b>where can i buy Accutane online</b>, know that <strong>feedback solicited on your site</strong> (like a survey) will be more positive towards you than if it is solicited through a 3rd party (like a review site).  <b>Buy no prescription Accutane online</b>, Those 3rd party evaluations will tend be more honest (or at least more balanced) than the feedback solicited on your site.</li><br />
	<li> More importantly, turn the study around. <strong>Ask yourself if your web site is “polite” to your visitors</strong>, <b>Accutane over the counter</b>. Is it nice and is it helpful. For example, when a visitor is presented with an error, does your site take responsibility (“Sorry, I can’t find what you’re looking for [insert helpful instructions here]) or does it make the visitor feel like a criminal ([ERROR: Access Denied, <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Accutane without a prescription</b>, You have attempted to modify your access to the secure Web site. As a result, your session has been terminated, <b>order Accutane online c.o.d</b>. This attempt to falsify your credentials has been logged to our files.] <em>This is an actual message given to a user after he forgot that his username was case sensitive</em>).  <b>Where can i order Accutane without prescription</b>, <strong>Too often, Web sites speak the language of the organization, or the programmer</strong>, <b>online buying Accutane</b>, which is almost always very different than the visitor’s.  <b>Buy Accutane Online Without Prescription</b>, If a visitor doesn’t feel connected to your site, they won’t feel connect to your organization or it’s products and services.  <b>Purchase Accutane online no prescription</b>, (This idea actually tips into the social rule of “likability” which I’ll write about in a future post.)</li><br />
	<li>Taking it a step further, consider putting a polite human face (or voice) on your product or service. <strong>Make a human connection</strong>. Don’t speak about features, talk about how this will make their job, health, life better. A more human tone in your copy will increase the likelihood that users will have a more positive, more personal experience.</li><br />

Your comments donâ€™t need to be lengthy or even deep. Eventually, youâ€˜ll want to provide more insightful comments, but even thanking the blogger for their contribution or insight is enough. Your comments should be informal and authentic and this shouldnâ€™t be used as an opportunity to directly sell your services, <b>Buy Neurontin Online Without Prescription</b>.

<p>Recently we launched a project for <a title="Prolifiq" href="http://www.prolifiq.net"> <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>, Prolifiq, Inc.</a>, a Beaverton, Oregon SaaS (software as a service) provider that offers a killer 1:1 communications platform for sales and marketing.  <b>Rx free Propecia</b>, In addition to delivering a revamped Web site and interactive demo, we also created this web video commercial, <b>where can i order Propecia without prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Propecia without a prescription</b>, <strong>The communications challenge</strong><br />
Early in our engagement, we could see that it was difficult to describe what Prolifiq was without getting overwhelmed by an extensive list of cool features and its impressive behind-the-scenes technology, <b>Propecia pharmacy</b>.  <b>Buy no prescription Propecia online</b>, It's not a blast email marketing platform and it's not a content management system as we know it. Both can be quite cumbersome for "on-the-move" sales reps to use when they need it, <b>online buy Propecia without a prescription</b>.  And organizations certainly can't get their personal email and CMS to interact with each other, much less provide useful metrics, <b>Buy Propecia Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy generic Propecia</b>, Prolifiq can do all of that and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Telling the story</strong><br />
Of course, <b>buy cheap Propecia no rx</b>, <b>Buy Propecia in canada</b>, the first obstacle in any sales process (especially for complex and technical products/services) is to get your target audience to understand what your product is and how it benefits them. The simplest and most compelling way for us to accomplish this was to create a video that tells the Prolifiq story, <b>purchase Propecia online no prescription</b>.  <b>Order Propecia from mexican pharmacy</b>, The story needed to go beyond a laundry list of whiz-bang features and it inherently needed to be more meaningful to the audience.</p>
<p>This video gives the Prolifiq sales and management team a great tool to introduce their product to prospects and it helps accelerate their conversations to the next level, <b>Propecia for sale</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, (The video is part of a larger <a href="http://twurl.cc/9dk">interactive demo</a>. Check it out!), <b>Propecia samples</b>.  Buy Propecia online no prescription.  Purchase Propecia online.  Order Propecia.  Order Propecia online c.o.d.  Buy Propecia no prescription.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-338" title="swiss1" src="http://polymerstudios.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/swiss1.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="348" /></a> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Interactive demos are a great way to give your customers and prospects a good idea of what your product is and how it can benefit them. Demos are usually associated with demonstrating features of software or consumer products.  <b>Order Ultram from mexican pharmacy</b>, And theyâ€™re just as effective for selling complex services or conceptual ideas.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Demonstrate how your product solves the problem--not just how it works.</strong></span></p>
<p>Demos are nothing new, however many fall far short of their potential as a virtual sales tool, <b>buy Ultram online cod</b>. The biggest problem most demos have is they usually focus on how the product works, <b>Order Ultram</b>, not on how it actually solves a customerâ€™s problem. Businesses are missing out on a huge sales opportunity if their demo only addresses a list of its product features, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. Of course you need to talk about features (what does it do?), but more importantly, <b>Ultram pharmacy</b>, your demo needs to do it within the context of how those features solve your customerâ€™s problem (why should I care?).  <b>Buy Ultram online no prescription</b>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>All demos are not created equal</strong></span></p>
<p>Depending on which stage your customer is at in their buying decision (awareness, interest, trial, <b>Ultram from canadian pharmacy</b>, buy, <b>Purchase Ultram online</b>, evaluation, loyalty), youâ€™ll need to consider how best to frame your demoâ€™s messaging, <b>buy cheapest Ultram</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness</strong>: First, <b>Ultram over the counter</b>, customers need to recognize that they have a problem and that your product can help solve it. Once theyâ€™ve identified their problem, they begin gathering information from the Web, <b>buy no prescription Ultram online</b>, their peers and various media.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, At this stage, your demo must focus itâ€™s messaging on how it solves their problem.  <b>Order Ultram no prescription</b>, <strong>Interest</strong>: Once they understand the variety of solutions available and have identified your product as a possible contender, they begin to narrow down their choices. At this stage customers need help making the right choice, <b>Ultram price</b>. Your demo should now focus on how your product is unique and how itâ€™s faster/better/cheaper than the competition.  <b>Where can i buy Ultram online</b>, The messaging should be framed in benefits, not features. Use scenarios that your customer can identify with, then show how your features solve their problems, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Demos that focus on benefits are very effective at moving customers from awareness to interest to trials, <b>Ultram for sale</b>. These types of demos are called â€œtours.â€ They give your customer a broad overview of your product, <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, what it can do and how it solves their problem. At this stage, because your customer is not yet a raving fan of your product or service, <b>buy generic Ultram</b>, their attention span is short.  <b>Where can i order Ultram without prescription</b>, Keeping your tour brief and focused on solving your customerâ€™s problems will motivate them to take the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Trial</strong> <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, : At this stage, customers are comparing apples to apples. As they dig deeper into your productâ€™s functionality, they will be comparing your features against the competition, <b>rx free Ultram</b>. Again, <b>Ultram samples</b>, frame the messaging about the features in a contextual, scenario-based framework. Allow the user to play with the real thing or at least a simulation, <b>buy Ultram no prescription</b>. As the user gets closer to making their decision, <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online</b>, all things being equal, it will be easier for them to choose the one that is most familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Buy</strong>: When they understand that your product or service best fits their needs, they buy, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  But selling your customers doesnâ€™t stop after they fork over their cash, <b>purchase Ultram online no prescription</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation</strong>: What happens after your customer purchases is more important than what happens before.  <b>Online buying Ultram</b>, Post-purchasing service and support has a direct impact on customer loyalty. Demos that explicitly explain how a customer can complete certain tasks is, of course, <b>where can i find Ultram online</b>, called a tutorial.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, Tutorials can help users get acquainted with important features, give them confidence in using your product and help them self-service problems they may run into.  <b>Buy Ultram in canada</b>, Unfortunately, many organizations use tutorials too early in their customer's decision making process. If your customer is in the Awareness, <b>online buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, Interest or even Trial stage, <b>Buy Ultram without a prescription</b>, a tutorial-type demo can be overwhelming and paint your product as being too complicated. Ultimately, scaring off your customer in search of an "easier" solution, <b>buy cheap Ultram no rx</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ask for the sale and track the results</strong></span><br />
Youâ€™d be surprised at how many demos donâ€™t ask for the sale. Always include a call to action, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Buy Ultram from mexico</b>, What will your customers want to do next: request a live demo, call a rep, sign up, <b>order Ultram online c.o.d</b>. The call to action should be persistently visible throughout the demo. You never know when the light bulb will go off, make it easy form the to take action.</p>
<p>Finally, build some sort of analytics into your demos.  <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>, What sections are most and least popular. How do customers move through the demo. How long are they engaged. Where do the lose interest. At what point do they exit and where do they go.  How many customers did the demo convert, <b>Buy Ultram Online Without Prescription</b>. This type of information is invaluable in helping you make future decisions, how to position your product, what features are most important and what the demoâ€™s ROI is.</p>
<p>An interactive demonstration should give your customers a good idea for how your product or service solves their problem, not just how it works. Tailoring the messaging at each stage of the customerâ€™s purchasing decision process will improve customer conversions. And monitoring and tracking results gives you critical and objective information for what's working and what's not.</p>

<p align="left">In <a href="2007/10/24/banking-20-core-technologies-part-1-of-3/">part 1</a>, I gave an overview of core Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. Now I'll discuss some examples of how several banks are leveraging some of this new technology to initiate and support deeper relationships with their customers.</p>

<h3 align="left">Wells Fargo fosters an informal, ongoing dialogue with its customers</h3>
<p align="left">Wells Fargo has been experimenting with Web 2.0 technology quite a bit. Bank employees are empowered to use blogs, wikis and RSS to brainstorm ideas and communicate with customers. One of their most popular outward-facing blogs is the <a href="http://blog.wellsfargo.com/StudentLoanDown/" title="Wells Fargo: Student LoanDown">Student LoanDown</a>. Wells Fargo is able to participate in more candid conversations with their customers about financing college and managing debt. Steve Ellis, EVP of Wells Fargo's wholesale solutions group says that "A blog is informal - a great way to get away from the corporate thing and let people inside our heads." And vice versa. Wells Fargo is able to use blogs like this as a tool to learn what their customers care about and how best to serve their needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Fortis initiated and moderates a social networking site based on the interests and needs of a focused market segment</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.fortis.com/" title="Fortis">Fortis</a> has recently launched phase 3 of <a href="http://www.jointogrow.biz" title="JoinToGrow.biz">JoinToGrow.biz</a>, a social networking Web site for entrepreneurs. Members can openly share ideas, questions and struggles with starting a business. They have access to inspirational and educational video interviews of their members where they talk about topics like how they got started, what theyâ€™ve learned, how they got financed, what mistakes they made and how they persevered. The site provides networking tools that help entrepreneurs connect with each other based on services, markets, interests and more. Fortis heavily involves the community in developing new tools and making existing tools better.</p>
<p align="left">JoinToGrow.biz is quite popular with its focused market segment. Members are enthusiastic and participative. In the end, Fortis is able to demonstrate their brandâ€™s commitment to entrepreneurs and innovation.</p>

<h3 align="left">VanCity created and supports a community site around a topics people feel passionate about</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.vancity.com" title="VanCity">VanCity</a>, Canadaâ€™s largest credit union, has created <a href="http://www.ChangeEverything.ca">ChangeEverything.ca</a>, a site where people simply talk about topics related to â€œchange.â€ Thereâ€™s no discussion about financial products or planning or customer service. The discussions and topics that take place are all related to things that really matter to their audience; and thatâ€™s â€œchange.â€</p>
<p align="left">Just because VanCity keeps a low marketing profile on the site, doesnâ€™t mean that VanCity doesnâ€™t doesn't gain tremendous advantage to improve their products and services. In fact, the credit union finds opportunities to tie their products to what they learn the community cares about. For instance, there's a lot of buzz around environmental issues. VanCity created products with lower rates on loans for hybrid vehicles. They offered a credit card where a portion each sale went to an environmental cause of choice.</p>
<p align="left">William Azaroff, the interactive marketing manager at Vancity, says that the success of ChangeEverything is attributed to the open and honest communication within the community and, paradoxically, because they donâ€™t use this platform to â€œsellâ€ their products. However, VanCity is taking advantage of the halo effect. The end result is that people feel an affinity and emotional connection to the bank. The bank in turn can learn more about what their customers care about and how best to package and adjust their services to meet their ever changing needs.</p>

<h3 align="left">Until next time</h3>
<p align="left">As you can see, financial institutions are successfully finding creative ways to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology to connect and form more meaningful relationships with their customers. Of course, these banks experienced their share of obstacles when implementing and sustaining their Web 2.0 initiatives. In part 3, Iâ€™ll talk about overcoming some of these obstacles: discussing common objections and giving you simple ideas to get started.</p>

<p align="left">Nine times out of 10, when I download a PDF, Word doc, etc. from a site, the filename is some cryptic string of letters and numbers. I'm sure it makes sense to the code crackers at NASA, but when I try to download a printer template, how the heck am I supposed to find it when it's named "c_041_us0_biz_ptedg_8sh_lan_bck.doc?" It's usually not a problem if I open the doc right away. But often, when I need to find it days or weeks later, I end up having to download it again from the site since I can't find it on my hard drive.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Simple solution #124: Name your downloadable files something that makes sense to the user. Hm, I don't know, like maybe "Avery_template_8373_landscape_back.doc"</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2" title="Web 2.0">Web 2.0</a> has been gaining more and more momentum over the last year or so. Web 2.0 involves taking advantage of internet technology for creating, collaborating, communicating and sharing ideas and information. Things like blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks are helping organizations forge stronger relationships with their customers. But should you use new technology for technologyâ€™s sake? Of course not. However, itâ€™s so incredibly easy to get up and running with these core Web 2.0 technologies, thereâ€™s no excuse for your organization to not at least test the waters. <strong>Banking 2.0</strong> describes how financial institutions are leveraging the strengths of Web 2.0 applications to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of internal communications and to extend their brands further and deeper into the internet community. In this 3 part series, I'll talk about:
<ul>
	<li><strong>Part 1: Core technologies.</strong> An overview of core Web 2.0 technologies.</li>
	<li><strong>Part 2: Banks leading the charge. </strong>Examples of how banks are using Web 2.0 technologies.</li>
	<li><strong>Part 3: Overcoming obstacles. </strong>Common objections and simple ideas to get you started.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Core Web 2.0 applications</h3>
The following four core Web 2.0 technologies can help businesses form deeper connections with their customers and their employees.
<h4>Blogs</h4>
A blog (short for Web log) allows an individual or group to post their thoughts on a topic in a dated journal-type format. Readers can create a thread of comments and have a discussion about any specific post topic. Blogs are extremely easy and affordable to implement and there are some very interesting ways to use them:
<ul>
	<li>Some organizations are using blogs to test new product and service ideas in the marketplace. They capitalize on user feedback and implement the best ideas into the product development cycle. For instance, for a new college savings product, you could talk with parents and students (via a Blog) about their concerns with saving for college, which loan is right for them and how they will manage their spending. This conversation with your customers can spark ideas for new products and services. Or four improving existing ones.</li>
	<li>Blogs are an inexpensive customer service and relationship tool where you can keep customers in the loop about your products and services. It gives you an exceptional platform to address customer concerns and create and keep an ongoing conversation with them. By creating a dialogue with your customers and solving their problems, youâ€™re creating loyal fans.</li>
	<li>Some internal groups are using blogs to keep employees up-to-date on important initiatives and events.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Podcasts</h4>
Podcasts (derived from â€œiPodâ€ and â€œBroadcastâ€) are similar to blogs by allowing people to post audio segments about a topic of interest. This audio can be downloaded and is playable on mobile devices such as an <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipod/whichipod/" title="iPod">iPod</a>, PDA or phone. Your customers and employees can listen to your content anytime they choose.

Focusing on customer needs and choosing a relevant subject are key to creating a popular podcast. For instance, you could create a podcast about financial planning where you could talk about common questions and concerns your customers have about their finances. For an internal audience, you can deliver podcasts of audio briefings and conference calls. Consider a Video Podcasts (or vodcasts) of meetings, conferences and addresses form the CEO that people couldnâ€™t otherwise attend.
<h4>Wikis</h4>
A wiki is a Web site that leverages user generated content. Anyone with permission can add, edit or delete a topic or page. Wikis are a great egalitarian technology that allows companies to capitalize on their employees shared knowledge and expertise. And best of all, the content is created and managed by the user community.

Internally, wikis can be used for:
<ul>
	<li> Collaborative document generation for iterative projects</li>
	<li> Keeping workers/colleagues up-to-date on department initiatives, team communications and the status of important projects.</li>
	<li> People can broadcast pressing questions or innovative ideas.</li>
</ul>
Soon enough, your organization will have a wealth of content, ideas and conversations that can be referenced quickly and updated easily.
<h4>Social Networking</h4>
Social networking sites like <a href="http://www.myspace.com/" title="MySpace">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com" title="LinkedIn">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com" title="FaceBook">FaceBook</a> and <a href="http://www.meetup.com" title="MeetUp">MeetUp</a> connect people online whom have similar interestsâ€”either socially or commercially. Social networking is an indispensable way to develop a tight-knit community that wants to share ideas and information and foster new relationships,

Think about creating a social network for a particular segment of your market. For instance, you could create a site dedicated to helping start-up businesses make new connections. Among the trials and tribulations that will surely be discussed, you can bet financing is at the top of the list. By helping these entrepreneurs create new connections that can help their fledgling businesses, you now have a loyal, attentive and dedicated audience.
<h4>Until next time</h4>
Hopefully Iâ€™ve given you a good overview about Web 2.0 technologies like blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networks. More importantly, I hope Iâ€™ve given you a few new ideas that can help you form deeper and more meaningful relationships with your customers and employees. In Part 2, I will discuss several examples of banks that are leading the charge with Banking 2.0.
