Ceramic Tiger says:
lol i got this obnoxious email from an admissions rep / doa or whatever.. she is like.. i am going to keep sending you the mob media bogus leads even though we wont work with them anymore..
and i wrote back.. thats not the case, we still work with them.
"oh, well tim and todd told me that we don't. sorry if no one told you"
LOL
Andrew says:
we suspended the campaign
Ceramic Tiger says:
i wrote her back.. i can assure you that we do still. we arent receiving leads from them because they have delivered all the leads we asked them for
suspended due to them hitting their cap
if we dont work with them anymore, then i dont need to bother reconciling this crap then
Eric says:
I wouldn't even respond to her.
Ceramic Tiger says:
i did. i just told her that we arent getting more leads for the reasons i just explained. she was like.. oh, okay..
the only thing we can tell about the email campaign is the open rate, right?
Andrew says:
open rate? we really can't tell shit from it
Ceramic Tiger says:
how many distinct people opened a message based on if it is a page, etc
well you used to have some data
Andrew says:
for clickthrus and how many got sent. never open rate
and if there is a 800 number, then...
Ceramic Tiger says:
well thats what i mean, how many people did something with the email.
Eric says:
I thought you could tell if someone downloaded an image and that was an open
Ceramic Tiger says:
our problem isnt marketing. it is sales/admissions.
they dont call back the fucking leads. thats why our results blow.
Andrew says:
right
Eric says:
no it's always our fault
Andrew says:
volume volume volume... but quality
Ceramic Tiger says:
how can you have a meeting with the sales vp and be like.. what are we doing to improve results and it gets to whether or not we are sending out email blasts.
it isnt even volume. the people we'd be emailing we either never bothered to call or they told us to fuck ourselves
Eric says:
the same way you can have a meeting that talks about all the stuff marketing is doing for OFAC.  oh yeah, and not invite any of us to the meetings
Andrew says:
I see *1* click from these rejected lead emails. not even like a form fillout. 1 hit, 1 pageview
Eric says:
ha
Ceramic Tiger says:
just feel so conflicted some times, when i think about what is holding back the company.. i mean, it seems so obvious to me. i know if i bring it up i get crucified. then i think.. why even bother. i mean, the future isnt even clear with what the hell is going on anymore.
i mean, at least before the was a direction. it is like we are in a boat with no rudder anymore.
they need to say something i think to those of us who know whats going on. like.. hey guys, update.. nothing is gonna happen, we going back to the way things were before..
