Your ITSM should have purpose-built workspaces
Your ITSM should have purpose-built workspaces
Look around your desk, and you probably see a variety of tools that make you more productive — an ergonomic chair, a mug of coffee or tea, a notepad, or a charger. As individuals, we put great thought into making our personal space productive, a habit that many organizations have yet to fully replicate in their digital workspaces.LIKE.TG launched its ITSM Professional package with a focus on giving IT service teams the tools and information they need to be successful, efficient, and productive.In the past, service owners had to mine various sources of data to gather detailed information about their service portfolio. Sourcing information from many locations makes quantifying service value and performance difficult. For organizations that use multiple services, metrics, such as those that show customer satisfaction with specific services or estimated spend, become exponentially more complicated.“Most companies use multiple tools to keep track of their performance data, and that is not scalable” said Archana Penukonda, senior product marketing manager at ServiceNow. “The data problem is not always dependent on technology. Combining technology and better processes can go a long way toward having end-to-end visibility.”In our digitally transformed world, enterprises need to provide exceptional service at speed, innovate at scale, and be ever ready to pivot to new business challenges. They require an efficient and unified view of IT services to optimize and drive greater value to the business—regardless of who is providing the service. They need to have workspaces that offer a unified display of all relevant information. This eliminates lapses when digging for details and allows for more time to be spent making strategic decisions.With those needs in mind, LIKE.TG introduced purpose-built workplaces to help you report on the performance and value of services. Service Owner WorkspaceProviding a unified view of all data related to your service portfolio, the Service Owner Workspace consolidates information on the services you own. You can monitor performance, SLAs, availability, and customer satisfaction, helping you track and analyze how services are performing. It’s also customizable. Organizations can use out-of-the-box metric definitions or create new ones tailored to their environment to help improve service quality, restore services fast, and manage service costs. Vendor Manager WorkspaceAre you getting value out of your vendor relationships? Can you measure it? Our Vendor Manager Workspace provides a single destination to optimize vendor services by closely tracking metrics and monitoring performance. It consolidates information about service offerings, contracts, vendor improvement initiatives, SLA definitions, and risk management with metric models tailored to your organization’s specific requirements. If your third-party metrics are consistent, it unlocks a new level of transparency, fostering high performance relationships that drive value for the business.Interested in shuffling your desktop around? Purpose-built workspaces come standard with our ITSM Pro package. Learn more about workspaces and all the other solutions that will help you create more value for your service teams.
How to use Hardware Asset Management for Recording Keeping
How to use Hardware Asset Management for Recording Keeping
In the life of a hardware asset, there is only one point when we know for sure we have what we purchased: When we first receive the asset.This hardware asset scenario reminds me being a little kid and playing catch with my neighbor. I would take a new baseball out of the package and throw it over the fence to him. He would catch it and then throw it back. Sometimes he would try to trick me and throw a different ball back over the fence: an old baseball, a softball, and one time a soccer ball. (That caught me off-guard.) And sometimes, he would go inside to dinner and not tell me. I would throw the ball and wait. (Until I was called in to dinner, of course.)When I took the baseball out of the package, and before I threw it over the fence, this was the only time I knew for sure I had that exact baseball. Once I threw the ball over the fence, I was never sure what I would get in return or if I would get anything back.I started writing my name on the baseballs immediately when I took them out of the package. This way, I could tell if I was getting back what I had originally thrown over the fence.Now back to the hardware asset…We receive the device and verify that what we receive is what we purchased.But at this time, we know a lot more about that exact device. We know who the vendor was and how much we paid for the device. We can match the device to that PO and invoice We have contractual information about warranty and support. And while the device is in our possession, we can attach asset tags to make identification easier. Before we deploy the device (or throw it over the fence to a user), this is the best time to start tracking the device; to create the hardware asset record with all of the supporting information we know at this point in the asset’s life.As soon as it is deployed, we have lots of tools to help us know where the device is. But nothing is more certain than when the device is in front of you; especially the very first time you receive the device.This is why tracking assets at the earlier stages of their lives is so important: We know the most about the device at that point We know exactly what we have We know exactly where it is Starting out early makes the management and tracking of that device, and all hardware assets, that much easier!If you’d like to learn more, watch the on-demand webinar: "The ITAM Triforce – Discover the power of SAM, HAM, and the CMDB"
Getting to know IT asset management
Getting to know IT asset management
It’s funny how once you are officially in a department such as IT, everyone assumes you have deep knowledge about everything from resetting a printer to spooling up a complex cloud dev instance. And as time goes by, it gets harder and harder to admit unfamiliarity about certain areas of techdom.Take IT asset management (ITAM), for example. Yes, we all know what software is. We know what a laptop or desktop computer is. But what does it take to successfully control the usage and investment in what can be a significant cost for an enterprise?The basics: What makes ITAM run successfully.This is the management of all IT assets include computing, networking, and related equipment, as well as software licenses, entitlements, and subscriptions. In too many organizations, IT assets are quite numerous, widely distributed, and often not fully inventoried or documented. And therein lies the problem.Download Now: The Gorilla Guide to Getting Started with ITAMWhat are the common asset management mistakes and challenges?In an adjective: reactionary. Because of widespread distribution, unclear assignments of responsibility, and point tools isolated from the rest of IT, organizations tend to manage their IT assets as a reaction to some event or discovery, often unplanned and perhaps even unexpected. This has obvious risks. For example, what if you get a demand from the software vendor to prove you have licenses for every user on every machine? Failure to do so could result in license compliance true ups and even legal action. Here’s a look at the most common pitfalls not having a strong ITAM strategy or tool:Problem 1: So much wasted money.This might mean paying for software or subscriptions no longer in use or for more licenses or subscription seats than are necessary. This adds up fast. Gartner estimates $152 billion in wasted software costs and $33 billion in wasted Software as a Service usage fees. How much is your company adding to those numbers every year?1 Gartner Newsroom Oct 10, 20202 Garner Newsroom July 23, 2020Problem 2: So much silly risk.The other side of overspending is failure to purchase or acquire licenses or subscriptions needed to legally make use of specific software or services. This seemingly innocuous activity can lead to financial penalties.Problem 3: So much unnecessary work.If an audit happens, IT, finance, and other staff get drawn away from their usual work and responsibilities causing overall productivity to suffer.Those are the risks. Now keep learning about how ITAM comes to the rescue.We invite you to explore a nifty Gorilla Guide created to give the whole inside story on modern ITAM. It offers a concise discussion with topics including: The ITAM Savings Equation Avoiding Unnecessary Expense How a Single Platform Simplifies ITAM Benefits of Lifecycle Management Piloting the Process Measuring (and Sharing) Success Introducing IT Asset Management (SAM) in an Organization Reconciling the Data Optimizing Platform Synergies and Capabilities Get “The Gorilla Guide to Getting Started with ITAM.” And be ready for any asset management question that comes your way.
How to flatten the ITOM curve
How to flatten the ITOM curve
As I sit here writing this blog, I can’t believe how much things have changed. No more chats in the hall or booking a conference room. With this pandemic, everything is virtual. My laptop and mobile are my lifeline. They are the only way I can work.I know I’m not alone. How many of you are reading this blog at the kitchen table—or, if you’re lucky, in your home office? And I suspect it’s not going to change any time soon. If ever. Changes like this have a funny way of becoming permanent. We miss the personal interaction, but we don’t miss the commute. Also, just think about how much money companies are going to save on office space.Which brings me to the topic of today’s day’s blog.With everyone so dependent on IT to keep them connected, it’s putting a huge strain on ITOM (IT operations management). Talk about mission critical. For example, if there’s a VPN issue, literally everyone is affected—not just the road warriors. And the demand for remote services is only going to increase as more of our work moves online.So, if you run an IT operations team, what are you going to do? It’s a huge challenge. Heroics aren’t enough—although I know we have plenty of heroes out there. It’s not just about dealing with today’s crisis. How do you scale as the number of digital services continues to explode? And how do you do this while keeping costs under control?Current toolsets and processes just aren’t up to the challenge. To start with, siloed monitoring tools create overwhelming noise, and it’s still a game of swivel chairs. The technology stack is becoming more complex, and it’s evolving at breakneck speed. Human beings just can’t keep up. In addition, many IT operations teams are still stuck managing infrastructure rather than focusing on what matters—the services their business depends on.It’s nobody’s fault. Everyone is doing their best, but their software tools are letting them down. Everything is too disconnected, too manual, and too slow.Something has to change.At LIKE.TG, we’re working with you to transform IT operations. Together, we’re leveraging the power of AIOps to: Predict service issues before they happen, increasing service availability and lowering costs by shifting operations to the left Prevent service issues from impacting users, automatically finding the root cause of issues and quickly identifying potential solutions Automate workflows across teams, lowering MTTR and increasing productivity And, with LIKE.TG, you get the service context you need, so you focus on what’s important for your business.Of course, all of this has to be more than pretty words. And it is. With LIKE.TG® IT Operations Management (ITOM), IT operations teams have been able to: Reduce monitoring noise by 90% Predict 35% of incidents before they occur Fix common service issues 10 times faster Improve productivity by 44% And we’ve only just started. We’re continuing to aggressively expand our capabilities, giving you the intelligent platform, you need to flatten the IT operations curve.One day, this pandemic will be over, but the world will have changed forever. Hopefully that change will be for the better, but whatever it is, we all need to be prepared for the challenge. With LIKE.TG ITOM, you’re ready.Until then, stay safe.P.S. Don’t forget to check out our latest eBook to learn more about how LIKE.TG ITOM can help you to predict, prevent, and automate.
A new spin on managing your hardware assets
A new spin on managing your hardware assets
Most every kid did it: Spinning around in your parents’ desk chair. But as an IT Asset Manager, that swiveling is not so much fun.Hardware assets are everywhere: from your physical locations to your remote users to all the mobile and wifi-enabled devices to your datacenters and your network infrastructure. And it’s likely that each of these asset groups has its own deployment and management system, if not multiple systems for each asset group.So many questions…and it all takes…so…much…time. You have dashboards on each tool and system. Which dashboard do you use? Which is most accurate? You have to go to a dozen tools and systems to pull data, and now you have to cross-reference and reconcile all of the data. Did you get the reports with all the appropriate data from each system? You don’t want to double count an asset, so if an asset appears on two or more reports, which of the data records is correct? How do you reconcile the multiple data points? You need visibility into what you have, where they are, and who is using which devices. As quickly as possible. What if getting that visibility could be so much easier?Ding, ding, ding! The answer is: You need your hardware asset data on one platform. One.One platform that can automatically and accurately combine data from multiple sources.Where your hardware asset data is automatically reconciled, normalized and cross-related.With one set of dashboards and one set of reports. So now, instead of you wasting time on reconciling data from multiple tools and systems, you immediately have actionable information to manage your hardware estate.Being able to get a full picture of all your hardware assets is critical. Getting that full picture on one platform just makes perfect sense.So, let’s leave the swivel chairs for your desk and get them out of your hardware asset management.
For the 7th year in a row, LIKE.TG is named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Management Tools
For the 7th year in a row, LIKE.TG is named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Management Tools
Wow! LIKE.TG has been named an ITSM Tools Magic Quadrant Leader and placed furthest in completeness of Vision and highest in Ability to Execute in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant report. We are humbled by the recognition and gratified by the success that our customers are reporting.You may wonder whether, after being named a Magic Quadrant Leader for 7 consecutive years, if the thrill fades. To the contrary, our determination to innovate for our customers has never been greater. We believe, The Gartner accolade is a testament to our “hungry and humble” work ethic–hungry to do right by our customers and execute relentlessly to meet their needs, and humble in learning what’s working and what’s not, so we can make the right investments on behalf of our customers.A clear purposeWhen Fred Luddy launched LIKE.TG in 2004, his basic premise was to “enable people to route work effectively through the enterprise.” That rings true today more than ever.Though 2020 brought enormous, unforeseen challenges, LIKE.TG used them as motivation to deliver the workflows and applications our customers needed for emergency response and a safe return to the workplace. The company and those that make it run rose to the occasion.[Read the report: 2020 ITSM Gartner Magic Quadrant]The platform of platformsThese unusual times have clearly created a great need for digital experiences. Nine out of 10 CEOs worldwide want to support digital transformation, but only 4 in 10 say they’re prepared for it. LIKE.TG is helping close that gap with the powerful and flexible Now Platform®.LIKE.TG® ITSM, with its single, unified data model and built-in machine learning capabilities, integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise solutions to keep businesses functioning smoothly and deliver stellar digital experiences and increased productivity.For example, the LIKE.TG Virtual Agent, available to employees 24-7, understands natural language, providing answers to employees quickly in the era of remote working.As machine learning is built into the LIKE.TG platform, IT has the power to increase automation: Incoming incidents are automatically assigned, IT support staff get instant resolution recommendations, based on similar incidents resolved in the past, and any potential major incidents are intelligently identified and resolved before they negatively impact the business. To avoid frustrating UI slowdowns, our Agent Workspace enables IT support staff to concurrently resolve multiple issues rapidly while also receiving AI-assisted resolution recommendations right within the interface.Building future-proof ITSMI believe Gartner has recognized LIKE.TG as a Leader not just because we listen to customer feedback but because we also anticipate their needs. We invested heavily to build a resilient IT Service Management solution to foster business growth.For instance, LIKE.TG’s Walk-Up experience, built to enable swift face-to-face support, is now fitted with an extension that supports effective remote incident management. It enables contactless, depot-style walk-up centers through scheduled pick-ups and adaptive work assignment rules.With an increasingly remote workforce, IT staff must meet employees on the channels they are on – Slack, Microsoft Teams, or others. LIKE.TG also integrates with Amazon Connect to provide that seamless voice and chat capabilities so employees can get back to work with minimal downtime. LIKE.TG self-service has been able to deflect up to 80% of incidents or requests, allowing the IT staff to focus on more strategic issues.Boosting growth but containing costsIT and business leaders know that now is the time to raise productivity, reduce expenditures, and prepare for a more resilient future. Independent research shows that organizations that switched to LIKE.TG saved a total of $8.9 million because of improved IT and employee productivity. A reduction in overall IT maintenance and development costs saved another $6 million.Behind every great experience… is a great workflow. We are always grateful to our customers, and in service of their business goals. We are confident. This latest recognition from Gartner is a validation of our strategy, execution, and innovation for our customers.
IT just got smarter
IT just got smarter
Every company in the world needs to reduce risk and uncertainty in its IT operations, ITOM. The best way to do that is by combining AI and digital workflows. It’s all about applying machine learning to operational data so that you can generate insights about potential system issues, and then launch automated workflows that resolve problems fast—ideally, before they impact customers.Today’s partnership announcement between IBM and LIKE.TG is great news for enterprise customers. We’re combining AI-powered hybrid cloud software and professional services from IBM with intelligent, self-learning workflows running on the Now Platform® to deliver cutting-edge IT service and operations management.Engineers at IBM and LIKE.TG teamed up to create a joint IT solution, the first of its kind, that marries IBM Watson AI with LIKE.TG IT Service Management (ITSM) and IT Operations Management (ITOM). The joint solution will enable customers to enhance employee productivity, have full visibility into their operational footprint, and respond to incidents and issues faster. Clients will gain deeper, AI-driven insights from their data. The joint solution creates a baseline of their normal IT environment. It provides recommendations for actions to prevent and fix IT issues at scale, before they become problems. As a result, customers can free up valuable time and IT resources from maintenance activities to focus on driving the transformation projects necessary to support the digital demands of their businesses.The new solution will be enabled through a joint go-to-market strategy, and will be available later this year from IBM.LIKE.TG ITSM allows IT to deliver scalable services on a single intelligent cloud platform to increase productivity by 20% (according to a Forrester estimate) and resolve issues faster, creating amazing employee experiences. LIKE.TG ITOM Visibility leverages Service Graph, the next evolution of our native Configuration Management Database (CMDB), to deliver automated, near real-time visibility into the true operational state of all resources and business services.Historically, the CMDB functioned as a single source of truth for your IT infrastructure. Modern IT organizations increasingly need consistent, data-driven insight into the entire digital lifecycle, not just inventory and asset management. Stemming from our acquisition of Sweagle, Service Graph now underpins all of LIKE.TG’s solutions, enabling businesses, for the first time, to integrate technology, people, and processes into a service-oriented view.IBM Watson AI applies machine learning and AI to IT operations, automating how enterprises self-detect, diagnose, respond to, and remediate IT anomalies in real time. Customers get anomaly detection along with automated recommendations based on deep analysis of prior incidents.IBM algorithms and baselining techniques will provide important context to LIKE.TG, enabling streamlined incident management, making the data more useful to agents and retraining the AI over time. Thanks to the power of AI and machine learning, the average time to resolve incidents can be reduced by 65 percent. Using LIKE.TG’s IT workflow capabilities, meanwhile, all actions and insights will be recorded for auditing purposes and to generate future insights.Using the IBM and LIKE.TG joint solution, IT pros will be able to obtain a full view of an issue, from start to finish. With recommendations and deep diagnosis from IBM Watson AI, a service agent can quickly understand the incident, without ever leaving ServiceNow.On the implementation side, IBM is expanding its global LIKE.TG practice to include additional capabilities that provide advisory, implementation, and managed services on the Now Platform. LIKE.TG is co-investing to train and certify IBM employees and dedicated staff for customer success. IT risk is no joke in today’s technology-driven enterprises. Even the smallest outage can cause massive financial and reputational damage. In fact, market research firm Aberdeen pegs the average cost of an outage at about $260,000 an hour. Together, IBM and LIKE.TG will help customers overcome these challenges by automating old, manual IT processes and increasing IT productivity.Hats off to the talented IBM and LIKE.TG teams that collaborated to build this innovative solution. Together we’re delivering great technology and services that make work, work better for people.Use of Forward-Looking StatementsThis blog contains “forward-looking statements” about the expectations, beliefs, plans, and intentions relating to the partnership between IBM and ServiceNow.

5 IT strategy considerations to ensure business resilience
5 IT strategy considerations to ensure business resilience
If you’re a Marvel® Comics fan, you might have heard about the superhero named Darwin. Darwin can evolve based on need and environment. For instance, he can acquire night vision for his evening’s mission or develop gills if swimming underwater.As with Darwin, adaptation is an essential skill for many IT operations superheroes out there as well, tough times or not. LIKE.TG executives recently sat down (virtually) with IT leaders from several industries to hear their challenges and priorities brought on by the pandemic and the changes it has wrought. One thing that was loud and clear: everyone's journey to create a resilient operation was slightly different, but all had common end goals. Here’s a brief synopsis:1: There’s no single operating protocol for retail and manufacturing companiesThe retail and manufacturing company execs said that they are more focused than ever on adjusting supply-chain mechanisms. One company quickly augmented its e-commerce platform to accommodate online sales. Another developed multiple operating protocols to receive materials in states that have different mandates. And other companies have made a priority of ensuring the health of their front-line workers.2: Preparation is criticalA small number of companies had a contingency plan prior to the pandemic. They implemented it instantly, using their past experience with SARS and other health crises as a guide. Financial services companies were prominent here. They transitioned almost overnight to working remotely, quickly boosted network capacity and bandwidth, and increased usage of self-service and digital channels.3: Reliance on Cloud and SaaS paid offCompanies that invested in multi-cloud environments and SaaS applications scaled faster and further. AS a result, service providers were able to respond to their needs swiftly and have been able to scale demand up and down as needed. Companies that narrowed their focus to the critical services that employees and customers relied on most were less likely to experience interruptions.4: Workflow automation came to the rescueThe use of self-service, AIOps, machine learning, and workflow automation across the enterprise have continually helped companies resolve common tasks. Not surprisingly, some companies had invested in automating help desk support, employee onboarding, vendor management, and other functions that help daily tasks run seamlessly.5: There’s no going backThe COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies to shift to digital. While companies get ready for the return-to-workplace mode, they’re only going to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence, machine learning, workflow automation, remote workforce enablement, and collaboration.Have your cape ready. There will be more unplanned changes aheadJust like Darwin, IT operations has shown extreme resilience to change. That will be tested even more as companies navigate uncharted waters in future return-to-work transitions. Three things to keep in mind while you prepare: Review your IT operation’s ability to scale up and shift as needed Consider plans to speed up cloud and SaaS where it makes sense Automate, automate, automate For more information, check out this eBook to learn how to optimize your CMDB strategy for today’s crisis and beyond.
Combine ITSM and ITOM to make your business more resilient
Combine ITSM and ITOM to make your business more resilient
A combined ITSM and ITOM approach can make your business more resilient and proactive in three ways.We’ll start with a stat that most anyone will appreciate: In the average enterprise, about 60% of incidents are generated by machines (servers, storage, network routers, etc.) instead of people, LIKE.TG research finds.By broadening their IT management to include machines and people, many current LIKE.TG customers have reduced high-priority incidents and VPN outages, and shortened service restoration times, saving the organization thousands of employee work hours.Let’s dig into the advantages of this IT service Management (ITSM) + IT operations management (ITOM) approach:Drive down costs while swiftly resolving issuesThe shared data across both ITSM and ITOM allow for faster, more effective issue resolution. The insights can also power greater self-service for the “people part” and automation for the “machine part.” A deeper understanding of issues and the impact of change on systems allows operations to better prioritize its attention.For example: By standardizing its IT on a single platform, Danske Bank has created a scalable foundation for enterprise‑wide innovation that improves risk management and enhances the employee experience. With LIKE.TG, the bank has achieved: A 93% reduction in high-priority incidents A 6X improvements in time to restore services A single platform for ITSM, ITOM, ITBM, and GRC. Scale IT to support employee needs and business goalsRealize self-healing and proactive IT through logic-driven automation across the estate, from identifying the issue in near real-time to to prescribing a resolution. In other words, have visibility and a single source of truth to drive AIOps and predictive intelligence.For example: Accenture now has transparency and control across their services, applications, and infrastructure, leading to some incredible results: A 41% reduction in MTTR via greater visibility and more rapidly identifying problems A 90% reduction in time required to create a ticket A 50% improvement in configuration item accuracy, leading to fewer problems down the road Delivering more resilient and compelling remote service experiencesAn integrated, single platform for ITSM and ITOM allows your team to share data more freely by more intelligently determining an issue’s impact and priority level. An issue can be automatically assigned to the right resolution group using ML-based intelligence.For example: The IT team at Novant Health can now focus on helping with chat or the service desk. They automated much of the ticketing process, improved self-service, and simplified the resolution process to deliver: A 50% reduction in workload through self-service 30% fewer ticket reassignments 28 hours of redundant support work eliminated per week Get IT working together in new ways to solve those old problems.By leveraging a single platform, such as LIKE.TG, you can use automation and predictive intelligence to significantly reduce people-generated incidents (with ITSM) and machine-generated incidents (with ITOM).Get the whole story. Regardless whether you’re a current LIKE.TG ITSM customer, we recommend this ebook: “Reimagining IT service delivery and operations in unimagined times”
How to be an IT ninja
How to be an IT ninja
Ninjas are known for their stealth and agility, skills that take much practice and study to master. They are never satisfied with their current abilities and always seek to improve.Those noble aspirations are not limited to secret warriors. In the current climate, IT leaders are also busy adding new capabilities to their skillset. In my IT Experience Podcast, I regularly sit-down with IT pros who have valuable advice for their peers.The following principles can help you hone your ITSM and ITOM ninja skills as we build the post-COVID-19 workplace.Keep a growth mindset - When I sat down with Khalid Kark, Managing Director at Deloitte CIO Program, he shared his research on kinetic leaders. A kinetic leader is always reinventing herself.It’s even more critical to maintain a growth mindset. Leaders can’t just focus on focus only on responding to traditional problems. Instead, view every new challenge as an opportunity to drive agility so you can stay resilient and innovate. A growth mindset will help you create value in difficult times, whether by deploying automation to keep employees productive or building intelligence to respond to customer problems faster.[Shameless plug: It’s one thing to be an IT leader, it’s another thing to use ITSM that’s a leader in the Gartner MQ.]Align IT and business to deliver digital outcomes - IT transformation leader David Stefferud, used an analogy to explain why transformation projects often fail. Let’s say your business is looking to sell more canned peaches. But IT keeps asking for more money to upgrade their systems. The mismatch of goals and expectations creates contention among the teams, without advancing their common goal of moving those peaches.Instead, IT should come back and say, ‘I'd love to help you sell more peaches, but we need to rethink our digital capabilities to support that?’Focus on intelligence versus data - Many IT leaders care about data collection. It’s true that analytics is useless without quality data. But if data collection consumes years of effort by expensive data scientists and then doesn’t yield useful results, it becomes a burden.According to Loom Systems founders Gab Menachem and Dror Mann, IT leaders need to build intelligent systems instead of just capturing data and then relying on lengthy analysis to surface the insights they need.Make automation your top priority - Thangavel Viswam, an IT ninja on the LIKE.TG IT Operations team, shared how his team has automated resolution of VPN issues. Before they automated problem identification and i resolution, they used to have to resolve hundreds of incidents. Now they're down to tens and twenties. During COVID-19 when employees everywhere started working remotely, they hardly had to work on VPN issues. That freed up time for them to work on other strategic tasks.Put your ninja suit on and be ready to adapt and grow - IT leaders can drive business value by: Making allies in the business by understanding their business needs. Creating common digital transformation goals. Develop their intelligence and automation muscles.
Agile organizations perform better
Agile organizations perform better
In a fast-moving world where volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) are the norm, organizations must be agile to survive, thrive and rise above competitors. Recent IDC research shows agile organizations outperform non-agile organizations across several key indicators central to delivering on C-suite agendas.[Discover the benefits of agile development.]The LIKE.TG-commissioned IDC Agility Benchmark Survey1 found that 93% of agile organizations reported growing profits (see Figure 1). Only 68% of static organizations reported the same. Equally, agile organizations perform better across several core areas and are better able to: Protect revenues with existing customers and attract new ones. Attract and retain critical talent. Accelerate new business models and new solutions development. Capitalize on targeted growth opportunities. Figure 1: A spotlight on key metrics where agile organizations perform better than their peers; source: IDC Agility Benchmark Survey, 2020Unlocking agility requires fundamental shiftsThe need for more agility is clearer than ever, as is the realization that a whole journey lies ahead. IDC defines two characteristics that underpin agility: speed, and adaptability. Embedding these in the organizational DNA allows organizations to quickly pivot strategy, talent, processes, portfolio, and technology architecture toward changing needs.Yet, the journey is not an easy one. The path to agility will require some relevant shifts across five dimensions: Leadership: From reactive leadership with fixed and yearly strategy and budgeting processes to rapid decision cycles to quickly ramp or sunset initiatives as needed Structure: From a hierarchical, siloed, command-and-control organizational structure to a "team of teams" fluid, self-forming structure that allows for continuous tapping into required talent and skills Process: From siloed, manual processes where bottlenecks and duplication lead to inefficiencies to adaptive, integrated, and end-to-end digitized processes Portfolio: From a static product portfolio where innovation is bureaucratic and top-down to rapid experimentation and "fail fast" approaches with feedback loops from the ecosystem Technology architecture: From a static technology infrastructure tied to legacy systems toward operating as a digital platform, leveraging real-time enterprise data Figure 2: IDC organizational agility evolution framework—pillars; source: IDC, 20205 steps leaders should take to become more agile1. Know where you areOften, organizations overestimate their agility. More than half of European organizations consider themselves very or extremely agile. In contrast, only 21% of organizations are ahead in their agility journey. Overcoming this misperception and understanding how to move forward will require a careful assessment of where your organization is today on the agility evolution curve, as well as the ability to benchmark yourself against industry peers. This will provide a clear representation of the starting point and the end goal, and enable you to track progress.2. Benchmark yourselfBenchmark your agility maturity to the five pillars (see Figure 2). This will provide a clear map of areas that need improvement. For each pillar, IDC has also identified agility tips—practical steps that can help organizations accelerate their path to agility.3. Build an agility compassEach organization will need to define its own roadmap toward organizational maturity and strength on the key agility dimensions. The roadmap should address current capabilities, challenges, and priorities. Setting up an internal pilot project to drive changes in the organization can help you test the approach, get internal buy-in, and share best practices for scaling.4. Keep running in the "Red Queen's race"As Lewis Carroll said in his book "Through the Looking-Glass," "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." Agility is not a safe spot to reach but rather a continual process of improvement.5. Use the whole orchestraAgility is a team sport. Make sure all levels of your organization understand the benefits of agility. You entire C-suite should be pulling in the same direction.

Deloitte harnesses LIKE.TG IT Business Management
Deloitte harnesses LIKE.TG IT Business Management
As a world leader in professional services, Deloitte knows how to innovate and meet client requirements to a high standard. The professional services network uses LIKE.TG IT Business Management and LIKE.TG digital workflows to operate efficiently and deliver on client projects.Once Deloitte had achieved initial success with query management, the team began examining opportunities to use LIKE.TG to digitise workflows across the organisation. An apples-for-apples comparison delivered a compelling result: “Testing how we could benefit from building on the platform to solve for medium complexity process with some integrations we realised massive cost and time savings with LIKE.TG,” says McIntyre “Time savings are a huge business benefit in the professional services industry, and Deloitte realised savings in the order of a 50% to 80% reduction in time to build applications.”Deloitte is also a welcome guest on LIKE.TG's Neighbourhood series.Matt McIntyre, Partner, Enterprise Program Officer, ANZ, Deloitte joined us to discuss their use of LIKE.TG to build apps and improve prioritisation, dashboarding and other key elements of project portfolio management.The Enterprise Program team oversees investment portfolios in the region, working closely with businesses to ensure investments are properly prioritised and managed over their life cycles.McIntyre has worked with LIKE.TG since 2008. He first used the Now Platform® to support operations for the newly created ‘Deloitte Digital’ division. “I was after an ITS end-solution,” he explains. “We’re delivering digital products to clients and we needed to [triage and manage] incidents and calls.”McIntyre signed up to a developer initiative, gained access and began exploring LIKE.TG platform capabilities. In 2014, when the Deloitte Quality and Risk function approached his team for assistance in managing queries from business services professionals, Deloitte conducted an evaluation process and opted to procure ServiceNow.“We started with LIKE.TG as a platform and built a query management system that helped the quality and risk team manage queries from the business,” McIntyre says. The project required Deloitte to transition gigabytes of case emails into LIKE.TG to support a system that still runs today, along with many other platform applications. The team now maintains nearly 25 LIKE.TG applications. They include an app used to set up engagements in core finance systems, and others that help with everything from recruitment management and approval processes, to outsourced offshore payroll processing.Deloitte evaluated a range of systems before opting for LIKE.TG IT Business Management to undertake project portfolio management. McIntyre explains the Now Platform capabilities won out, particularly for its unique digital workflow capability, along with dashboarding, recording, configurability and user interface.Looking ahead the business saw further improvements in IT Business Management. "Globally, Deloitte [was] going through transformation,” McIntyre says. That exercise entailed introducing a form of globalisation to a network of member firms that had traditionally operated individually in different markets.Deloitte’s global IT operation was looking at better ways to deliver services to internal clients, their clients and their customers, and strongly recommended ServiceNow. Deloitte Australia then deployed IT Business Management in April of 2019 and followed up with IT Service Management three months later.In the last year, Deloitte has partnered with LIKE.TG for project portfolio management. “A really good lesson when you’re evaluating the best capability for your business needs, you’ve really got to look at a vendor and what deep industry and product knowledge they have, and the changes they are making in their products to help you advance what you’re doing,” says McIntyre.LIKE.TG has also helped Deloitte solve the complex issue of project prioritisation – a task that was eating up time better used for execution. “We think we’ve found a happy middle ground in the last 12 months where we’ve moved to a quarterly prioritisation model,” says McIntyre. “With ideas and demands captured in LIKE.TG IT Business Management.”In addition, LIKE.TG has enabled the team to build dashboards and tweak them on the fly to meet the demands of stakeholders or audiences.Deloitte has now extended LIKE.TG IT Business Management to capture – at a project level – all the impacts of changes affecting the audiences and user groups within its organisation. These changes include new marketing campaigns, new talent initiatives, new IT system implementations and new product builds to meet client briefs.“We’re able to take that information and surface it out to a dashboard and answer the question of whether we are making too many changes at one time for a particular group, or can we combine some messages and create a consistent narrative going to the business,” McIntyre tells us. “That’s a really powerful thing for us to do with the platform and something that doesn’t come out of the box.”McIntyre also shared the key building blocks of building an enterprise project management office and successfully adopting underlying technologies: “It comes back to putting the user at the centre of what you’re doing and solving the questions that we had,” he says.
LIKE.TG and Oracle Cloud Integrate for Cloud Optimization
LIKE.TG and Oracle Cloud Integrate for Cloud Optimization
Over the past year, companies have flocked to digital transformation more than ever to protect revenue, maintain business continuity, and pursue productivity in today’s distributed work environment. Having an effective cloud strategy is a key component to any company’s digital transformation journey.To build the best cloud strategy, IT departments need one data model and cross-enterprise integration system. This gives them the ability to operate using one view across the entire IT lifecycle so they can plan ahead, prioritize, and optimize on a single cloud-based platform.A match made in the cloudLIKE.TG and Oracle share the goal of helping companies accelerate their digital transformation efforts by creating a single data view for smarter decisions and real-time analytics. Today, LIKE.TG and Oracle are announcing the integration of LIKE.TG ITOM Visibility with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for cloud optimization.This will allow joint customers to proactively visualize changes in their OCI instance and understand how business services are being impacted. This integration furthers LIKE.TG’s goal of supporting customers’ existing infrastructure, giving the Now Platform the ability to support customers wherever their workloads reside: on-premises, across the major cloud vendors, or both.“With this integration, LIKE.TG and Oracle are making it seamless for enterprises to unlock productivity for distributed teams to deliver products and services faster, access powerful business insights, and create great experiences for employees,” says Jeff Hausman, VP GM of operations management (ITOM, ITAM, security) and data foundations at ServiceNow.“Joint customers leveraging the Now Platform and OCI will get the best of both worlds: a seamless experience that maximizes the value of cloud investments and the ability to harness the power of artificial intelligence for proactive operations,” he adds.“Enterprise customers are increasingly moving toward a multicloud environment and need an easy way to manage all of their cloud resources,” says Scott Twaddle, vice president of product, industries, and partnerships for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.“This is a big step forward for all of our customers that are using Oracle, as well as other major cloud providers, to run their business-critical applications. Now customers can leverage their existing LIKE.TG Service Management Portal to view and manage all of their cloud resources, including Oracle,” he adds.Cloud visibility simplifiedGaining visibility into workload migration while managing product and service delivery is not easy, especially as companies have shifted to either fully remote or hybrid work models. The LIKE.TG ITOM Visibility solution coupled with OCI, however, provides complete visibility into multicloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and containers as a service (CaaS) resources.With LIKE.TG's comprehensive IT asset data, teams can conduct tasks such as visualizing changes, tracking incidents, and fulfilling software license compliance obligations. In fact, Oracle has verified both LIKE.TG Discovery and Software Asset Management as third-party tools for Oracle contractual events and software audits.The integration also helps distributed teams track cloud-native environments, speeding product delivery to meet increasing business demands. For example, IT teams can now use standardized cloud tags to map infrastructure and services for instant issue identification and remediation.AI-driven workflows to the rescueIn today’s challenging business landscape, organizations have limited resources and bandwidth to manage issues when they arise. With OCI, customers will leverage LIKE.TG AI-powered service operations to predict and prevent issues before they occur and impact users.Using a single, unified agent framework, IT teams can better manage vulnerabilities and software asset management and use intelligent workflows to automate incident response. This ultimately helps ensure processes run smoothly, issues don’t affect the customer experience, and customers have fewer agents to manage.Customers can easily download and implement the new integration in the LIKE.TG Store without overhauling their current LIKE.TG and Oracle environments.

How human-centered design yields better ITSM experiences
How human-centered design yields better ITSM experiences
Today’s employees and customers expect modern, frictionless IT service management (ITSM) experiences that incorporate digital workflows. But how do enterprise IT leaders deliver on this expectation? The answer is simple: human-centered IT service management.Human-centered ITSM means incorporating human-centered design to simplify IT technology and make it easy for people to use. It’s not a completely new concept, but it’s more critical today than ever. Here’s why.Creating enterprise IT workflowsEnterprise technology buying decisions are no longer made in isolation by high-level folks who won’t be day-to-day users of those products. Positive reception and adoption of any enterprise tool and workflow by the direct users are now critical.The consumer technology space is a great model. Companies have to compete on user experience as a key factor—particularly the emotional and human element. Take mobile phones, for example. Phone makers have to constantly innovate and compete to retain their customers because, at any given time, those customers can switch to another phone maker.Apple product launches focus on the human element of all the cool things Apple is releasing. The value proposition isn’t pure technical innovation; it’s technical innovation delivered as compelling human experiences.Similarly, the market is changing for enterprise software companies. Cost and business disruption, while certainly not trivial, are continually lessening as barriers to change. Startups proliferate, always touting their user experience as a key differentiator. Enterprise companies know they need to compete on user experience. That’s why at LIKE.TG, we’re always driving to up our game.The human-centered ITSM imperativeOne, perhaps underappreciated, reason why human-centered ITSM is important is retention, plain and simple. People are the most vital asset for any company. They’re your greatest business advantage.If you consider demographics and the workforce today, your employees are used to high-quality experiences in their personal lives, from iPhones to Amazon to Netflix. When they’re forced to use systems and processes at work that feel like the worst, clunky accounting software from before the 2000s, they’ll leave at the first opportunity. You don’t retain the best people when they’re fed up with the systems they have to work with every day.Getting started with human-centered ITSMThere’s a fairly straightforward starting point to put people at the center of your ITSM initiatives. Without bias or defensiveness, ask the people who are really using your systems how those systems are working for them—but don’t ask as their boss, because they'll say the experience is great for fear of offending you or hurting someone’s feelings. Find a way to get honest feedback, such as through an anonymous survey.Then, do ride-alongs to observe key people actually using a system or product. Shadow them and watch a day in their lives. You’ll directly witness all the ways systems aren’t meeting their needs, even if they no longer see it themselves.There are also lots of books that provide good guidance around human-centered design and usability. Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug offers some great ways to assess how easy your system is to understand and use.This exercise isn’t just for user experience professionals, by the way. A lot of IT folks don't know they're already doing human-centered design, but they are. An IT manager who thinks about fixing a process that doesn’t work for people because it doesn’t deliver the information they need in the way they need it, well, that’s human-centered design. The manager is putting humans first and making sure everything works for them.The next evolution: Human-scale designWe think a lot about human-scale design. It’s where we look at how to simplify amazing but complicated technology that may have been science fiction 30 years ago. There’s immense complexity and scale to modern systems that are often beyond human ability to directly comprehend.So, how do we scale these systems to the human level? How do we abstract, distill, and harness their power so people can know exactly what’s going on and provide ways for them to direct and use that power?One way is through artificial intelligence (AI). For example, LIKE.TG ITSM Professional has an amazing new feature called Predictive Intelligence Workbench that uses AI to successfully deflect service tickets. We focus on showing the outcomes and how to tailor the outcomes rather than all the technical details of the AI itself.We also consider the ethics of AI. There are issues of privacy, consent, bias, and empowerment. AI is not meant to replace people. We find ways for it to empower and elevate people.Human-centered ITSM is all about people. That’s why we’re always thinking, “How do we automate the mundane to free people to do the more meaningful, higher-value stuff?”Learn more about human-centered ITSM in our ebook, “The human experience of IT service management.”You can also register for our April 7, 2021, LIKE.TG webinar about human-centered IT service management.

How ITOM visibility delivers peace of mind
How ITOM visibility delivers peace of mind
The check engine light on a vehicle warns the driver when something under the hood needs attention. Wouldn’t it be nice if every organization had a similar flashing indicator to let them know when their Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate is about to expire? Unfortunately, reality isn’t that simple.We tend to deal with the day-to-day maintenance of our vehicle in different ways. With family and friends, for example, there seem to be three general personality types: Meticulous – the people who read the manual for fun and diligently schedule maintenance based on manufacturer recommendation Pragmatist – those who don’t think about maintenance much but will grudgingly take the vehicle in for service if the check engine light turns red Gullible Optimist – the people who think things will magically fix themselves—if the check engine light comes on, it’s probably an error or not that important, so they wait in hopes that it might turn off The problems with a reactive approachSecurity certificate management is very similar. You know you should be proactive and ahead of the curve to minimize the risk, but there are always reasons not to: “I’m too busy.” “Someone less senior should handle it because it’s grunt work.” “I hate spreadsheets and can’t set up a pivot table to save my life.” “There are so many different data sources that I don’t know where to look or which one is accurate.” “We’ve had expired certificates before, and it’s never caused a problem yet.” For the Gullible Optimist driver, this approach could lead to waiting for a tow truck at 3 am in the middle of nowhere. For the IT staff who follow the same foolhardy belief, this attitude could result in service outages and data breaches that cause reputational damage and financial loss. Add in the risk of loss of continued employment, and being an IT Gullible Optimist becomes a dangerous position to be in.Better IT operations managementLIKE.TG can help take the grunt work and tedious processes out of your daily security certificate management. With IT Operations Management—specifically ITOM Visibility—you receive the Certificate Inventory and Management feature that allows you to automatically discover, take inventory of, and proactively manage all of your TLS certificates.If a certificate is nearing expiration, you’ll be notified. But gaining insight into an expired or soon-to-expire certificate isn’t the most important benefit. The biggest advantage is the automatic creation of a certificate task via IT workflows to renew the expiring certificate or to create an incident for an already expired certificate.This certificate management automation delivers three key benefits: The company faces less risk of service outage and data breach collateral damage by eliminating a common security risk. Customers are less likely to have a bad experience and are at less risk of end-user security vulnerabilities. Security professionals are freed from manual, tedious, and cumbersome processes for tracking and managing a large volume of certificates. If you want to continue to hope expired certificates won’t cause a problem at your organization, you’re welcome to remain a Gullible Optimist. But, if you want to get ahead of the curve and minimize security challenges with less effort and time, discover how LIKE.TG ITOM Visibility can help.Need the basics?

Human-centered IT service management: The next great differentiator
Human-centered IT service management: The next great differentiator
Positive employee and customer experiences are critical to business growth and digital transformation success. But, such experiences require revamping how organizations structure, deliver, and measure IT services. That’s why human-centered IT service management is growing in popularity for companies that want to innovate IT and gain a competitive advantage.Here are some insights for IT leaders who may be hesitant to take the leap into human-centered ITSM.What is human-centered IT service management?Human-centered ITSM is about putting technology in the service of humans. Traditionally, IT departments worked by implementing and deploying technology because IT liked it—not because people wanted it or needed it. In fact, they may have needed it or wanted it, but no one asked them.Now, technology absolutely has to be in the service of these people, not the other way around. This is where automation comes in—automating all the mundane, repeatable, error-prone tasks that, frankly, no one wants to do anyway.The next great differentiator for enterprisesGenerally, IT technology processes have been in place to enable and protect IT—not to enhance the business. Now, IT service management can provide competitive advantage when it’s focused not on stifling business innovation, but on becoming the enabler, allowing people to work seamlessly and frictionlessly.For example, the change management process used to be very structured and slow, but now the idea is for people to collaborate in real time, always on, whenever they want. What we’re doing at LIKE.TG is putting people at the heart of every process. We’re allowing the data to do the things and automate the things in the background that would traditionally be handled by people.We’re living in a pandemic world. We’re doing stuff faster. Things have to change more quickly than ever before. We have to be more agile. We’re allowing people to share and collaborate and become an integral part of the process, without calling it an IT process. Enterprise IT leaders need to move toward thinking about how people interact with things and to speak to people constantly. It’s not really a technology conversation anymore.Prioritizing human-centered ITSMEmbracing human-centered ITSM isn’t actually about technology at all. ITSM technology alone won’t transform a business. What it will do is protect and mitigate some risk and add a bit of engagement to customer care. Processes within IT service management must broaden and become enterprise-wide to provide the services the business needs.It’s imperative that IT processes work the way people expect them to. Better processes are connected processes. Better processes are also simpler processes that take less time to interact with. The real differentiator is to have processes that allow people to get on with their tasks and work the best way possible—while still having processes that govern your business and are auditable.The key to human-centered ITSMTrust is currently an obstacle to adoption. In the past, IT departments haven’t been trusted because they often stifled business innovation or simply said no. They put up barriers because technology hadn’t been tested, and IT team members weren’t convinced solutions worked.But, as IT teams elevate away from just being IT shops, they become the enablers and trusted advisers to the business. Think about how the CIO doesn’t just look out for service anymore. The CIO’s job includes negotiating, managing business relationships, managing vendors, and providing great experiences for all.Similarly, IT has to change the way it does things and build trust quickly. Too often today, human resources, marketing, and other teams buy services without IT knowing about it. That’s not healthy for large organizations. Trust comes through transparency, openness, and communication.Learn more about human-centered ITSM in our ebook, “The human experience of IT service management.”Register for the April 7, 2021, LIKE.TG webinar about human-centered IT service management.
Race to Automation with the right ITSM
Race to Automation with the right ITSM
At LIKE.TG, ITSM is like a favorite sports car we’ve tuned and optimized over the years into a precision machine that can keep pace with the speed of technological and business innovation. But to keep ITSM operating at its full potential requires constant maintenance, modifications, and grit.More recently, we’ve realized that ensuring continued ITSM performance requires automation and developing enterprise solution connections.Automating routine maintenanceAs we considered where to begin the ITSM automation journey, we focused on tasks that can yield real benefits for routine, back-end IT service management processes.Everyone loves the glitz and glamour of a finely tuned front end, and LIKE.TG does a great job delivering exceptional front-end experiences for customers through products such as Virtual Agent , Now Mobile , and Service Portal . But the work to ensure those parts work smoothly in the back end is often less stylish, and a lot of companies are still using manual processes.Manually keying in the back end of a common request, such as a password reset, requires service delivery teams to spend time completing mundane, repetitive tasks instead of investing in more interesting, higher-value work that would deliver a more satisfying experience to the customer.Specialized tools for your engineLIKE.TG IntegrationHub and LIKE.TG Flow Designer are exceptional tools that allow teams to fix, modify, and build precisely what an organization needs from ITSM.

Data is at the heart of every business today. But if we don’t understand the data or if the data isn’t accessible, it doesn’t do us much good. More important than the data itself is having the right data in the hands of the right people who can execute at the right time.This need has given rise to edge computing, which helps businesses glean insights from data by processing it as close to the source as possible. Here’s how it works: A local Internet of Things (IoT) device collects data and then analyzes it before transferring results to the cloud. Think of it as IoT data analysis in real time.In order to fully capitalize on the business value of this data, edge intelligence must be delivered through an edge enablement infrastructure and transformed by a workflow engine.At LIKE.TG, we make work, work better for people. We’re excited to announce a partnership with Intel and Volteo that helps fulfill that mission by enabling edge-to-service and Edge-as-a-Service (EaaS) capabilities.IoT meets workflowOur partnership leverages Intel’s breadth in the edge device market and our experience with managing and orchestrating complex workflows. Intel makes the end-to-end compute, network, and storage devices. LIKE.TG provides the platform to run business service lifecycle workflows, as well as seamless and secure enterprise digital solutions, through our Operational Technology and Service Management capabilities.Volteo, an Intel IoT solutions alliance partner and a LIKE.TG strategic technology partner, bridges the gap with functionality built on the Now Platform® that capitalizes on Intel's AI/Visual Computing enablement. Volteo also uses LIKE.TG® workflows to create design patterns tailored to industry verticals.Our partnership enables edge-to-service outcomes for the whole enterprise. These outcomes include connected value chains as well as internal shared services. The former involves keeping line-of-business systems running efficiently while enriching them to provide additional revenue. The latter is about making sure all the devices are functioning properly and understanding how everything continues to work from an IT perspective.Common industry use cases include: Smart cities (infrastructure) Plant floor break/fix (manufacturing) Pipeline management (oil gas) Medical systems and device management (healthcare) Store management for improved customer experience (retail). We’re also seeing the emergence of scalable solutions—like improved camera vision recognition systems that leverage AI—in multiple sectors, including retail security management, health and safety, facility management, mobile citizenry and beyond.How customers will benefitThis partnership provides a truly end-to-end solution for our joint customers, allowing them to manage and care for their edge devices in real time. With native ingestion of edge data, they can make better decisions and provide new, market-leading services for their own customers and employees. LIKE.TG, Intel and Volteo are redefining action and the new last mile in connected use cases, facilitating seamless execution and driving measurable business results.Our partnership empowers and enriches workflows with real-time information that helps detect and correct problems as they happen, so that each item gets to where it needs to go on time, every time.For example, a telecom enterprise might use 5G connectivity to manage a port where goods are being moved from a ship to trains and trucks. In this case, Intel edge devices would monitor refrigeration, humidity, and other environmental factors and relay that information via Volteo into LIKE.TG Connected Operations, IT Operations Management (ITOM), or IntegrationHub solutions.In retail, an Intel edge device could pick up a GPS signal from a customer’s opted-in phone app to relay the nearest store location to the phone. The company could also use the app to notify customers about a location-specific deal for that day. This can all be achieved by leveraging Volteo’s designs through LIKE.TG workflows.Transformation through innovationWorldwide, enterprises are digitally transforming through business model innovation, process automation, cloud adoption, and work-from-anywhere solutions. LIKE.TG addresses the C-suite priorities of optimizing business processes and workflows, attracting and retaining talent, and pursuing top- and bottom-line growth.We are excited to enable your organization’s evolution with our edge-to-service partnership solution!
Using automation and IT workflows to tackle complex challenges
Using automation and IT workflows to tackle complex challenges
Technology teams have long sought to innovate more quickly to deliver better experiences to employees and customers. These teams often have to tab between hundreds of tools to make it happen, slowing progress and increasing risk, complexity, and cost.This complexity has the downstream effect of negatively impacting employee and customer experience due to manual processes, information silos, and disconnections.At LIKE.TG, we've created a digital enterprise fabric that enables teams to seamlessly integrate these third-party products on the Now Platform®. Tech teams can now deliver great experiences across the different stages of their software factory. Let's explore some ways organizations are leveraging automation and IT workflows to achieve stellar results.Automating and optimizing IT service operationsWhen South America’s largest bank, Itaú Unibanco, wanted to improve experiences for its employees, it picked LIKE.TG® ITSM. In only seven months, the bank enabled IT self-service to employees through a Virtual Agent that has 46,000 built-in conversations and is integrated directly into Microsoft Teams to meet employees where they work.The bank has been able to deactivate more than 10 tools in the process, helping its Net Promoter Score shoot up 90 points in only three months.The state of Kansas Office of Information Technology Services also made great use of automated workflows. When its chief operating officer pivoted toward the Now Platform, the team improved processes dramatically and quickly got through its backlog of 12,000 open support requests, some of which were more than a year old. Now they’re able to address issues in near real time.As with many LIKE.TG customers, this wasn’t the only outcome the state’s IT services office achieved. Concurrently, it streamlined its employee onboarding process, drastically reducing the number of forms and time required so that new employees can have a great experience from the outset and be productive sooner.Preventing issues and automating resolutionsAs IT teams enlist machines to help them resolve issues, they can get an influx of incidents with no clear priority or correlation between them. When faced with this dilemma, Canadian insurance company SGI moved to Microsoft Azure to support its application development team.The company integrated LIKE.TG® Site Reliability Operations with its Azure alerts to notify teams immediately when a problem occurs with an app. This enables the developers to fix the issue before customers are impacted.Site Reliability Operations assigns incidents with the correct priority levels and suppresses the noise of multiple alerts and incidents posted for the same event. Overall, the integration yielded more relevant alerts, and the team was able to improve incident response times.Reducing hardware, software, and cloud costsAs software proliferates, lack of visibility into usage can be costly, and asset inventory can be manual and error-prone. LIKE.TG® IT Asset Management (ITAM) automates the lifecycle of IT assets, providing visibility into software licenses, hardware costs, cloud resources, and IT compliance. That saves money, lowers risk, and drives efficiency.Global professional services company Accenture used the Now Platform to establish a large-scale management solution for more than 54 million assets across 51 locations. It went from disjointed, redundant processes and point products to a single enterprise solution and a global process based on one platform. That transition reduced the time it takes to register an asset by 40% and the time spent performing audits by 60%.Learn more about how your organization can better meet IT service expectations in our IT Workflows Book of Knowledge.

The banking industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems are at the forefront of this change. By providing a centralised platform for customer data, interactions, and analytics, CRMs empower banks to deliver personalised and efficient services, fostering customer loyalty and driving business growth. We’ll look closer at the significance of CRM in banking, exploring its numerous benefits, addressing challenges in adoption, and highlighting future trends and innovations. Additionally, we present a compelling case study showcasing a successful CRM implementation in the banking sector. 10 Questions to Ask When Choosing a CRM in Banking When selecting a top CRM platform for your banking institution, it is necessary to carefully evaluate potential solutions to ensure they align with your specific requirements and objectives. Here are 10 key questions to ask during the selection process: 1. Does the CRM integrate with your existing, financial and banking organisation and systems? A seamless integration between your CRM and existing banking systems is essential to avoid data silos and ensure a holistic view of customer interactions. Look for a CRM that can easily integrate with your core banking system, payment platforms, and other relevant applications. 2. Can the CRM provide a 360-degree view of your customers? A CRM should offer a unified platform that consolidates customer data from various touchpoints, including online banking, mobile banking, branches, and contact centres. This enables bank representatives to access a complete customer profile, including account information, transaction history, and past interactions, resulting in more personalised and efficient customer service. 3. Does the CRM offer robust reporting and analytics capabilities? Leverage the power of data by selecting a CRM that provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities. This will allow you to analyse customer behaviour, identify trends, and gain actionable insights into customer needs and preferences. Look for a CRM that offers customisable reports, dashboards, and data visualisation tools to empower your bank with data-driven decision-making. 4. Is the CRM user-friendly and easy to implement? A user-friendly interface is essential for ensuring that your bank’s employees can effectively utilise the CRM. Consider the technical expertise of your team and opt for a CRM with an intuitive design, clear navigation, and minimal training requirements. Additionally, evaluate the implementation process to ensure it can be completed within your desired timeframe and budget. What is a CRM in the Banking Industry? Customer relationship management (CRM) is a crucial technology for banks to optimise customer service, improve operational efficiency, and drive business growth. A CRM system acts as a centralised platform that empowers banks to manage customer interactions, track customer information, and analyse customer data. By leveraging CRM capabilities, banks can also gain deeper insights and a larger understanding of their customers’ needs, preferences, and behaviours, enabling them to deliver personalised and exceptional banking experiences. CRM in banking fosters stronger customer relationships by facilitating personalised interactions. With a CRM system, banks can capture and store customer data, including personal information, transaction history, and communication preferences. This data enables bank representatives to have informed conversations with customers, addressing their specific needs and providing tailored financial solutions. Personalised interactions enhance customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall banking experience. CRM enhances operational efficiency and productivity within banks. By automating routine tasks such as data entry, customer service ticketing, and report generation, banking CRM software streamlines workflows and reduces manual labour. This automation allows bank employees to focus on higher-value activities, such as customer engagement and financial advisory services. Furthermore, CRM provides real-time access to customer information, enabling employees to quickly retrieve and update customer data, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, CRM empowers banks to analyse customer data and derive valuable insights. With robust reporting and analytics capabilities, banks can identify customer segments, analyse customer behaviour, and measure campaign effectiveness. This data-driven approach enables banks to make informed decisions, optimise marketing strategies, and develop targeted products and services that cater to specific customer needs. CRM also plays a vital role in risk management and compliance within the banking industry. By integrating customer data with regulatory requirements, banks can effectively monitor transactions, detect suspicious activities, and mitigate fraud risks. This ensures compliance with industry regulations and safeguards customer information. In summary, CRM is a transformative technology that revolutionises banking operations. By fostering personalised customer experiences and interactions, enhancing operational efficiency, enabling data-driven decision-making, and ensuring risk management, CRM empowers banks to deliver superior customer service, drive business growth, and maintain a competitive edge. The 10 Business Benefits of Using a Banking CRM 1. Streamlined Customer Interactions: CRMs enable banks to centralise customer data, providing a holistic view of each customer’s interactions with the bank. This allows for streamlined and personalised customer service, improving customer satisfaction and reducing the time and effort required to resolve customer queries. 2.

Increased Sales and Cross-Selling Opportunities: CRMs help banks identify cross-selling and upselling opportunities by analysing customer data and identifying customer needs and preferences. By leveraging this information, banks can proactively recommend relevant products and services, increasing sales and revenue. 4. Improved Customer Retention and Loyalty: CRMs help banks build stronger customer relationships by enabling personalised interactions and providing excellent customer service. By understanding customer needs and preferences, banks can proactively address issues and provide tailored solutions, fostering customer loyalty and reducing churn. 5. Enhanced Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management: CRMs assist banks in complying with industry regulations and managing risks effectively. By centralising customer data and tracking customer interactions, banks can easily generate reports and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. CRMs and other banking software programs also help in identifying and managing potential risks associated with customer transactions. 6.

This results in increased customer satisfaction and positive brand perception.10. Increased Profitability: By leveraging the benefits of CRM systems, banks can optimise their operations, increase sales, and reduce costs, ultimately leading to increased profitability and long-term success for financial service customers. Case studies highlighting successful CRM implementations in banking Several financial institutions have successfully implemented CRM systems to enhance their operations and customer service. Here are a few notable case studies: DBS Bank: DBS Bank, a leading financial institution in Southeast Asia, implemented a CRM system to improve customer service and cross-selling opportunities. The system provided a 360-degree view of customers, enabling the bank to tailor products and services to individual needs. As a result, DBS Bank increased customer retention by 15% and cross-selling opportunities by 20%. HDFC Bank: India’s largest private sector bank, HDFC Bank, implemented a CRM system to improve customer service and operational efficiency.

Bank of America achieved a 10% increase in sales and a 15% increase in cross-selling opportunities.These case studies demonstrate the tangible benefits of CRM in the banking industry. By implementing CRM systems, banks can improve customer retention, customer service, cross-selling opportunities, operating costs, and marketing campaigns. Overcoming challenges to CRM adoption in banking While CRM systems offer numerous benefits to banks, their adoption can be hindered by certain challenges. One of the primary obstacles is resistance from employees who may be reluctant to embrace new technology or fear job displacement. Overcoming this resistance requires effective change management strategies, such as involving employees in the selection and implementation process, providing all-encompassing training, and addressing their concerns. Another challenge is the lack of proper training and support for employees using the CRM system. Insufficient training can lead to low user adoption and suboptimal utilisation of the system’s features. To address this, banks should invest in robust training programs that equip employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively use the CRM system. Training should cover not only the technical aspects of the system but also its benefits and how it aligns with the bank’s overall goals. Integration challenges can also hinder the successful adoption of CRM software in banking. Banks often have complex IT systems and integrating a new CRM system can be a complex and time-consuming process. To overcome these challenges, banks should carefully plan the integration process, ensuring compatibility between the CRM system and existing systems. This may involve working with the CRM vendor to ensure a smooth integration process and providing adequate technical support to address any issues that arise. Data security is a critical concern for banks, and the adoption of a CRM system must address potential security risks. Banks must ensure that the CRM system meets industry standards and regulations for data protection. This includes implementing robust security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and regular security audits, to safeguard sensitive customer information. Finally, the cost of implementing and maintaining a CRM system can be a challenge for banks. CRM systems require significant upfront investment in software, hardware, and training. Banks should carefully evaluate the costs and benefits of CRM adoption, ensuring that the potential returns justify the investment. Additionally, banks should consider the ongoing costs associated with maintaining and updating the CRM system, as well as the cost of providing ongoing training and support to users. Future trends and innovations in banking CRM Navigating Evolving Banking Trends and Innovations in CRM The banking industry stands at the precipice of transformative changes, driven by a surge of innovative technologies and evolving customer expectations. Open banking, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and voice-activated interfaces are shaping the future of banking CRM. Open banking is revolutionising the financial sphere by enabling banks to securely share customer data with third-party providers, with the customer’s explicit consent. This fosters a broader financial ecosystem, offering customers access to a varied range of products and services, while fostering healthy competition and innovation within the banking sector. AI has become an indispensable tool for banking institutions, empowering them to deliver exceptional customer experiences. AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants provide round-the-clock support, assisting customers with queries, processing transactions, and ensuring swift problem resolution. Additionally, AI plays a pivotal role in fraud detection and risk management, safeguarding customers’ financial well-being. Blockchain technology, with its decentralised and immutable nature, offers a secure platform for financial transactions. By maintaining an incorruptible ledger of records, blockchain ensures the integrity and transparency of financial data, building trust among customers and enhancing the overall banking experience. The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming banking by connecting physical devices to the internet, enabling real-time data collection and exchange. IoT devices monitor customer behaviour, track equipment status, and manage inventory, empowering banks to optimise operations, reduce costs, and deliver personalised services. Voice-activated interfaces and chatbots are revolutionising customer interactions, providing convenient and intuitive access to banking services. Customers can utilise voice commands or text-based chat to manage accounts, make payments, and seek assistance, enhancing their overall banking experience. These transformative trends necessitate banks’ ability to adapt and innovate continuously. By embracing these technologies and aligning them with customer needs, banks can unlock new opportunities for growth, strengthen customer relationships, and remain at the forefront of the industry.

10 Ecommerce Trends That Will Influence Online Shopping in 2024
10 Ecommerce Trends That Will Influence Online Shopping in 2024
Some ecommerce trends and technologies pass in hype cycles, but others are so powerful they change the entire course of the market. After all the innovations and emerging technologies that cropped up in 2023, business leaders are assessing how to move forward and which new trends to implement.Here are some of the biggest trends that will affect your business over the coming year. What you’ll learn: Artificial intelligence is boosting efficiency Businesses are prioritising data management and harmonisation Conversational commerce is getting more human Headless commerce is helping businesses keep up Brands are going big with resale Social commerce is evolving Vibrant video content is boosting sales Loyalty programs are getting more personalised User-generated content is influencing ecommerce sales Subscriptions are adding value across a range of industries Ecommerce trends FAQ 1. Artificial intelligence is boosting efficiency There’s no doubt about it: Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the ecommerce game. Commerce teams have been using the technology for years to automate and personalise product recommendations, chatbot activity, and more. But now, generative and predictive AI trained on large language models (LLM) offer even more opportunities to increase efficiency and scale personalisation. AI is more than an ecommerce trend — it can make your teams more productive and your customers more satisfied. Do you have a large product catalog that needs to be updated frequently? AI can write and categorise individual descriptions, cutting down hours of work to mere minutes. Do you need to optimise product detail pages? AI can help with SEO by automatically generating meta titles and meta descriptions for every product. Need to build a landing page for a new promotion? Generative page designers let users of all skill levels create and design web pages in seconds with simple, conversational building tools. All this innovation will make it easier to keep up with other trends, meet customers’ high expectations, and stay flexible — no matter what comes next. 2. Businesses are prioritising data management and harmonisation Data is your most valuable business asset. It’s how you understand your customers, make informed decisions, and gauge success. So it’s critical to make sure your data is in order. The challenge? Businesses collect a lot of it, but they don’t always know how to manage it. That’s where data management and harmonisation come in. They bring together data from multiple sources — think your customer relationship management (CRM) and order management systems — to provide a holistic view of all your business activities. With harmonised data, you can uncover insights and act on them much faster to increase customer satisfaction and revenue. Harmonised data also makes it possible to implement AI (including generative AI), automation, and machine learning to help you market, serve, and sell more efficiently. That’s why data management and harmonisation are top priorities among business leaders: 68% predict an increase in data management investments. 32% say a lack of a complete view and understanding of their data is a hurdle. 45% plan to prioritise gaining a more holistic view of their customers. For businesses looking to take advantage of all the new AI capabilities in ecommerce, data management should be priority number one. 3. Conversational commerce is getting more human Remember when chatbot experiences felt robotic and awkward? Those days are over. Thanks to generative AI and LLMs, conversational commerce is getting a glow-up. Interacting with chatbots for service inquiries, product questions, and more via messaging apps and websites feels much more human and personalised. Chatbots can now elevate online shopping with conversational AI and first-party data, mirroring the best in-store interactions across all digital channels. Natural language, image-based, and data-driven interactions can simplify product searches, provide personalised responses, and streamline purchases for a smooth experience across all your digital channels. As technology advances, this trend will gain more traction. Intelligent AI chatbots offer customers better self-service experiences and make shopping more enjoyable. This is critical since 68% of customers say they wouldn’t use a company’s chatbot again if they had a bad experience. 4. Headless commerce is helping businesses keep up Headless commerce continues to gain steam. With this modular architecture, ecommerce teams can deliver new experiences faster because they don’t have to wait in the developer queue to change back-end systems. Instead, employees can update online interfaces using APIs, experience managers, and user-friendly tools. According to business leaders and commerce teams already using headless: 76% say it offers more flexibility and customisation. 72% say it increases agility and lets teams make storefront changes faster. 66% say it improves integration between systems. Customers reap the benefits of headless commerce, too. Shoppers get fresh experiences more frequently across all devices and touchpoints. Even better? Headless results in richer personalisation, better omni-channel experiences, and peak performance for ecommerce websites. 5. Brands are going big with resale Over the past few years, consumers have shifted their mindset about resale items. Secondhand purchases that were once viewed as stigma are now seen as status. In fact, more than half of consumers (52%) have purchased an item secondhand in the last year, and the resale market is expected to reach $70 billion by 2027. Simply put: Resale presents a huge opportunity for your business. As the circular economy grows in popularity, brands everywhere are opening their own resale stores and encouraging consumers to turn in used items, from old jeans to designer handbags to kitchen appliances. To claim your piece of the pie, be strategic as you enter the market. This means implementing robust inventory and order management systems with real-time visibility and reverse logistics capabilities. 6. Social commerce is evolving There are almost 5 billion monthly active users on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok. More than two-thirds (67%) of global shoppers have made a purchase through social media this year. Social commerce instantly connects you with a vast global audience and opens up new opportunities to boost product discovery, reach new markets, and build meaningful connections with your customers. But it’s not enough to just be present on social channels. You need to be an active participant and create engaging, authentic experiences for shoppers. Thanks to new social commerce tools — like generative AI for content creation and integrations with social platforms — the shopping experience is getting better, faster, and more engaging. This trend is blurring the lines between shopping and entertainment, and customer expectations are rising as a result. 7. Vibrant video content is boosting sales Now that shoppers have become accustomed to the vibrant, attention-grabbing video content on social platforms, they expect the same from your brand’s ecommerce site. Video can offer customers a deeper understanding of your products, such as how they’re used, and what they look like from different angles. And video content isn’t just useful for ads or for increasing product discovery. Brands are having major success using video at every stage of the customer journey: in pre-purchase consultations, on product detail pages, and in post-purchase emails. A large majority (89%) of consumers say watching a video has convinced them to buy a product or service. 8. Loyalty programs are getting more personalised It’s important to attract new customers, but it’s also critical to retain your existing ones. That means you need to find ways to increase loyalty and build brand love. More and more, customers are seeking out brand loyalty programs — but they want meaningful rewards and experiences. So, what’s the key to a successful loyalty program? In a word: personalisation. Customers don’t want to exchange their data for a clunky, impersonal experience where they have to jump through hoops to redeem points. They want straightforward, exclusive offers. Curated experiences. Relevant rewards. Six out of 10 consumers want discounts in return for joining a loyalty program, and about one-third of consumers say they find exclusive or early access to products valuable. The brands that win customer loyalty will be those that use data-driven insights to create a program that keeps customers continually engaged and satisfied. 9. User-generated content is influencing ecommerce sales User-generated content (UGC) adds credibility, authenticity‌, and social proof to a brand’s marketing efforts — and can significantly boost sales and brand loyalty. In fact, one study found that shoppers who interact with UGC experience a 102.4% increase in conversions. Most shoppers expect to see feedback and reviews before making a purchase, and UGC provides value by showcasing the experiences and opinions of real customers. UGC also breaks away from generic item descriptions and professional product photography. It can show how to style a piece of clothing, for example, or how an item will fit across a range of body types. User-generated videos go a step further, highlighting the functions and features of more complex products, like consumer electronics or even automobiles. UGC is also a cost-effective way to generate content for social commerce without relying on agencies or large teams. By sourcing posts from hashtags, tagging, or concentrated campaigns, brands can share real-time, authentic, and organic social posts to a wider audience. UGC can be used on product pages and in ads, as well. And you can incorporate it into product development processes to gather valuable input from customers at scale. 10. Subscriptions are adding value across a range of industries From streaming platforms to food, clothing, and pet supplies, subscriptions have become a popular business model across industries. In 2023, subscriptions generated over $38 billion in revenue, doubling over the past four years. That’s because subscriptions are a win-win for shoppers and businesses: They offer freedom of choice for customers while creating a continuous revenue stream for sellers. Consider consumer goods brand KIND Snacks. KIND implemented a subscription service to supplement its B2B sales, giving customers a direct line to exclusive offers and flavours. This created a consistent revenue stream for KIND and helped it build a new level of brand loyalty with its customers. The subscription also lets KIND collect first-party data, so it can test new products and spot new trends. Ecommerce trends FAQ How do I know if an ecommerce trend is right for my business? If you’re trying to decide whether to adopt a new trend, the first step is to conduct a cost/benefit analysis. As you do, remember to prioritise customer experience and satisfaction. Look at customer data to evaluate the potential impact of the trend on your business. How costly will it be to implement the trend, and what will the payoff be one, two, and five years into the future? Analyse the numbers to assess whether the trend aligns with your customers’ preferences and behaviours. You can also take a cue from your competitors and their adoption of specific trends. While you shouldn’t mimic everything they do, being aware of their experiences can provide valuable insights and help gauge the viability of a trend for your business. Ultimately, customer-centric decision-making should guide your evaluation. Is ecommerce still on the rise? In a word: yes. In fact, ecommerce is a top priority for businesses across industries, from healthcare to manufacturing. Customers expect increasingly sophisticated digital shopping experiences, and digital channels continue to be a preferred purchasing method. Ecommerce sales are expected to reach $8.1 trillion by 2026. As digital channels and new technologies evolve, so will customer behaviours and expectations. Where should I start if I want to implement AI? Generative AI is revolutionising ecommerce by enhancing customer experiences and increasing productivity, conversions, and customer loyalty. But to reap the benefits, it’s critical to keep a few things in mind. First is customer trust. A majority of customers (68%) say advances in AI make it more important for companies to be trustworthy. This means businesses implementing AI should focus on transparency. Tell customers how you will use their data to improve shopping experiences. Develop ethical standards around your use of AI, and discuss them openly. You’ll need to answer tough questions like: How do you ensure sensitive data is anonymised? How will you monitor accuracy and audit for bias, toxicity, or hallucinations? These should all be considerations as you choose AI partners and develop your code of conduct and governance principles. At a time when only 13% of customers fully trust companies to use AI ethically, this should be top of mind for businesses delving into the fast-evolving technology. How can commerce teams measure success after adopting a new trend? Before implementing a new experience or ecommerce trend, set key performance indicators (KPIs) and decide how you’ll track relevant ecommerce metrics. This helps you make informed decisions and monitor the various moving parts of your business. From understanding inventory needs to gaining insights into customer behaviour to increasing loyalty, you’ll be in a better position to plan for future growth. The choice of metrics will depend on the needs of your business, but it’s crucial to establish a strategy that outlines metrics, sets KPIs, and measures them regularly. Your business will be more agile and better able to adapt to new ecommerce trends and understand customer buying patterns. Ecommerce metrics and KPIs are valuable tools for building a successful future and will set the tone for future ecommerce growth.
10 Effective Sales Coaching Tips That Work
10 Effective Sales Coaching Tips That Work
A good sales coach unlocks serious revenue potential. Effective coaching can increase sales performance by 8%, according to a study by research firm Gartner.Many sales managers find coaching difficult to master, however — especially in environments where reps are remote and managers are asked to do more with less time and fewer resources.Understanding the sales coaching process is crucial in maximising sales rep performance, empowering reps, and positively impacting the sales organisation through structured, data-driven strategies.If you’re not getting the support you need to effectively coach your sales team, don’t despair. These 10 sales coaching tips are easy to implement with many of the tools already at your disposal, and are effective for both in-person and remote teams.1. Focus on rep wellbeingOne in three salespeople say mental health in sales has declined over the last two years, according to a recent LIKE.TG survey. One of the biggest reasons is the shift to remote work environments, which pushed sales reps to change routines while still hitting quotas. Add in the isolation inherent in virtual selling and you have a formula for serious mental and emotional strain.You can alleviate this in a couple of ways. First, create boundaries for your team. Set clear work hours and urge reps not to schedule sales or internal calls outside of these hours. Also, be clear about when reps should be checking internal messages and when they can sign off.Lori Richardson, founder of sales training company Score More Sales, advises managers to address this head-on by asking reps about their wellbeing during weekly one-on-ones. “I like to ask open-ended questions about the past week,” she said. “Questions like, ‘How did it go?’ and ‘What was it like?’ are good first steps. Then, you need to listen.”When the rep is done sharing their reflection, Richardson suggests restating the main points to ensure you’re on the same page. If necessary, ask for clarity so you fully understand what’s affecting their state of mind. Also, she urges: Don’t judge. The level of comfort required for sharing in these scenarios can only exist if you don’t jump to judgement.2. Build trust with authentic storiesFor sales coaching to work, sales managers must earn reps’ trust. This allows the individual to be open about performance challenges. The best way to start is by sharing personal and professional stories.These anecdotes should be authentic, revealing fault and weakness as much as success. There are two goals here: support reps with relatable stories so they know they’re not struggling alone, and let them know there are ways to address and overcome challenges.For example, a seasoned manager might share details about their first failed sales call as a cautionary tale – highlighting poor preparation, aggressive posturing, and lack of empathy during the conversation. This would be followed by steps the manager took to fix these mistakes, like call rehearsing and early-stage research into the prospect’s background, business, position, and pain points.3. Record and review sales callsSales coaching sessions, where recording and reviewing sales calls are key components aimed at improving sales call techniques, have become essential in today’s sales environment. Once upon a time, sales reps learned by shadowing tenured salespeople. While this is still done, it’s inefficient – and often untenable for virtual sales teams.To give sales reps the guidance and coaching they need to improve sales calls, deploy an intuitive conversation recording and analysis tool like Einstein Conversation Insights (ECI). You can analyse sales call conversations, track keywords to identify market trends, and share successful calls to help coach existing reps and accelerate onboarding for new reps. Curate both “best of” and “what not to do” examples so reps have a sense of where the guide rails are.4. Encourage self-evaluationWhen doing post-call debriefs or skill assessments – or just coaching during one-on-ones – it’s critical to have the salesperson self-evaluate. As a sales manager, you may only be with the rep one or two days a month. Given this disconnect, the goal is to encourage the sales rep to evaluate their own performance and build self-improvement goals around these observations.There are two important components to this. First, avoid jumping directly into feedback during your interactions. Relax and take a step back; let the sales rep self-evaluate.Second, be ready to prompt your reps with open-ended questions to help guide their self-evaluation. Consider questions like:What were your big wins over the last week/quarter?What were your biggest challenges and where did they come from?How did you address obstacles to sales closings?What have you learned about both your wins and losses?What happened during recent calls that didn’t go as well as you’d like? What would you do differently next time?Reps who can assess what they do well and where they can improve ultimately become more self-aware. Self-awareness is the gateway to self-confidence, which can help lead to more consistent sales.5. Let your reps set their own goalsThis falls in line with self-evaluation. Effective sales coaches don’t set focus areas for their salespeople; they let reps set this for themselves. During your one-on-ones, see if there’s an important area each rep wants to focus on and go with their suggestion (recommending adjustments as needed to ensure their goals align with those of the company). This creates a stronger desire to improve as it’s the rep who is making the commitment. Less effective managers will pick improvement goals for their reps, then wonder why they don’t get buy-in.For instance, a rep who identifies a tendency to be overly chatty in sales calls might set a goal to listen more. (Nine out of 10 salespeople say listening is more important than talking in sales today, according to a recent LIKE.TG survey.) To help, they could record their calls and review the listen-to-talk ratio. Based on industry benchmarks, they could set a clear goal metric and timeline – a 60/40 listen-to-talk ratio in four weeks, for example.Richardson does have one note of caution, however. “Reps don’t have all the answers. Each seller has strengths and gaps,” she said. “A strong manager can identify those strengths and gaps, and help reps fill in the missing pieces.”6. Focus on one improvement at a timeFor sales coaching to be effective, work with the rep to improve one area at a time instead of multiple areas simultaneously. With the former, you see acute focus and measurable progress. With the latter, you end up with frustrated, stalled-out reps pulled in too many directions.Here’s an example: Let’s say your rep is struggling with sales call openings. They let their nerves get the best of them and fumble through rehearsed intros. Over the course of a year, encourage them to practice different kinds of openings with other reps. Review their calls and offer insight. Ask them to regularly assess their comfort level with call openings during one-on-ones. Over time, you will see their focus pay off.7. Ask each rep to create an action planOpen questioning during one-on-ones creates an environment where a sales rep can surface methods to achieve their goals. To make this concrete, have the sales rep write out a plan of action that incorporates these methods. This plan should outline achievable steps to a desired goal with a clearly defined timeline. Be sure you upload it to your CRM as an attachment or use a tool like Quip to create a collaborative document editable by both the manager and the rep. Have reps create the plan after early-quarter one-on-ones and check in monthly to gauge progress (more on that in the next step).Here’s what a basic action plan might look like:Main goal: Complete 10 sales calls during the last week of the quarterSteps:Week 1: Identify 20-25 prospectsWeek 2: Make qualifying callsWeek 3: Conduct needs analysis (discovery) calls, prune list, and schedule sales calls with top prospectsWeek 4: Lead sales calls and close dealsThe power of putting pen to paper here is twofold. First, it forces the sales rep to think through their plan of action. Second, it crystallises their thinking and cements their commitment to action.8. Hold your rep accountableAs businessman Louis Gerstner, Jr. wrote in “Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance?”, “people respect what you inspect.” The effective manager understands that once the plan of action is in place, their role as coach is to hold the sales rep accountable for following through on their commitments. To support them, a manager should ask questions during one-on-ones such as:What measurable progress have you made this week/quarter?What challenges are you facing?How do you plan to overcome these challenges?You can also review rep activity in your CRM. This is especially easy if you have a platform that combines automatic activity logging, easy pipeline inspection, and task lists with reminders. If you need to follow up, don’t schedule another meeting. Instead, send your rep a quick note via email or a messaging tool like Slack to level-set.9. Offer professional development opportunitiesAccording to a study by LinkedIn, 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career. When companies make an effort to feed their employees’ growth, it’s a win-win. Productivity increases and employees are engaged in their work.Book clubs, seminars, internal training sessions, and courses are all great development opportunities. If tuition reimbursement or sponsorship is possible, articulate this up front so reps know about all available options.Richardson adds podcasts to the list. “Get all of your salespeople together to talk about a podcast episode that ties into sales,” she said. “Take notes, pull key takeaways and action items, and share a meeting summary the next day with the group. I love that kind of peer engagement. It’s so much better than watching a dull training video.”10. Set up time to share failures — and celebrationsAs Forbes Council member and sales vet Adam Mendler wrote of sales teams, successful reps and executives prize learning from failure. But as Richardson points out, a lot of coaches rescue their reps before they can learn from mistakes: “Instead of letting them fail, they try to save an opportunity,” she said. “But that’s not scalable and doesn’t build confidence in the rep.”Instead, give your reps the freedom to make mistakes and offer them guidance to grow through their failures. Set up a safe space where reps can share their mistakes and learnings with the larger team — then encourage each rep to toss those mistakes on a metaphorical bonfire so they can move on.By embracing failure as a learning opportunity, you also minimise the likelihood of repeating the same mistakes. Encourage your reps to document the circumstances that led to a missed opportunity or lost deal. Review calls to pinpoint where conversations go awry. Study failure, and you might be surprised by the insights that emerge.Also — and equally as important — make space for celebrating big wins. This cements best practices and offers positive reinforcement, which motivates reps to work harder to hit (or exceed) quota.Next steps for your sales coaching programA successful sales coach plays a pivotal role in enhancing sales rep performance and elevating the entire sales organisation. Successful sales coaching requires daily interaction with your team, ongoing training, and regular feedback, which optimises sales processes to improve overall sales performance. As Lindsey Boggs, global director of sales development at Quantum Metric, noted, it also requires intentional focus and a strategic approach to empower the sales team, significantly impacting the sales organisation.“Remove noise from your calendar so you can focus your day on what’s going to move the needle the most — coaching,” she said. Once that’s prioritised, follow the best practices above to help improve your sales reps’ performance, focusing on individual rep development as a key aspect of sales coaching. Remember: coaching is the key to driving sales performance.Steven Rosen, founder of sales management training company STAR Results, contributed to this article.

AI-based translation tools
Analysis and comparison of the best ones
As globalization increases, companies and individuals are finding it necessary to communicate more frequently with people who speak different languages.As a result, the need for translation tools has become more pressing.The good news is that there are now AI-based translation tools that make the process of translating text and speech faster and more accurate than ever before.In this article, I will analyze and compare the best AI-based translation tools available, discussing their advantages, features and drawbacks.Introduction to AI-based translation toolsAI-based translation tools use artificial intelligence to translate text and speech from one language to another. These tools have become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to advances in machine learning and natural language processing. Such tools are faster, more accurate and can handle a higher volume of work.Benefits of using AI-based translation toolsOne of the main advantages of using AI-based translation tools is speed. These tools can translate large volumes of text in a matter of seconds, whereas it would take a human translator much longer to do the same job.They are less likely to make mistakes and can also be used to translate speeches in real time, which makes them very useful for international conferences or business meetings.Popular AI-based translation tools and their featuresThere are many AI-based translation tools, each with its own unique features. Here are some of the most popular ones and what they offer:1. Google TranslateGoogle Translate is one of the most well-known AI-based translation tools. It offers translations in over 100 languages and can be used to translate text, speech, and even images. Google Translate also offers a feature called “Conversation Mode,” which allows two people to have a conversation in different languages using the same device.2. Microsoft TranslatorMicrosoft Translator is another popular AI-based translation tool. It offers translations in over 60 languages and can be used to translate text, speech, and images. Microsoft Translator also offers a feature called “Live Feature,” which allows two people to have a conversation in different languages using their own devices.3. DeepLDeepL is a newer AI-based translation tool, but it has quickly gained popularity thanks to its high-quality translations. It offers translations in nine languages and can be used to translate text. DeepL uses deep learning algorithms to produce translations that are more accurate and natural-sounding than those produced by other translation tools.4. LIKE.TG TranslateLIKE.TG Translate is a relatively new AI-based translation tool that has gained popularity in recent years. It is available in over 125 languages and can translate text, voice and images. One of the unique features of LIKE.TG Translate is its ability to translate text within other apps.The best feature of these apps is that not only do they base their translation using AI but they have a team of native translators behind them constantly improving their applications to make them even better.Factors to consider when choosing an AI-based translation toolWhen choosing an AI-based translation tool, there are several factors to consider. The first is the languages you need to translate. Make sure the tool you choose supports the languages you need. The second factor is the type of translations you need. Do you need to translate text, speech, or images? Do you need real-time translation for conversations? The third factor is the accuracy of the translations. Consider the quality of the translations produced by each tool. Lastly, consider the cost of the tool. Some AI-based translation tools are free, while others require a subscription or payment per use.Pros and cons of using AI-based translation toolsLike any tool, AI-based translation tools have pros and cons. Here are some of the main advantages and drawbacks of using these tools:After a thorough analysis, I can faithfully describe to you some of the most characteristic pros and cons of these tools:PROSAccuracy: These tools are able to better understand the context and syntax of the language, which translates into greater translation accuracy.Speed: Translating large amounts of text can take a long time if done manually, whereas AI-based translation tools are able to process large amounts of text in a matter of seconds.Cost savings: AI-based translation tools are often less expensive than human translation services, especially for large projects.Integrations: Many of these tools integrate with other platforms and productivity tools, making them easy to use in different contexts.CONSLack of context: These tools often lack context, which can result in inaccurate or inconsistent translations. For example, a literal translation of a sentence in one language into another may not take into account cultural connotations or social context and result in a translation that makes no sense.Lack of accuracy: Although AI-based translation tools have improved significantly in recent years, they are still not as accurate as humans. Translations can be inaccurate or have grammatical and spelling errors, especially in more complex or technical languages.They cannot capture nuances or tones: Such translation tools cannot capture nuances or tones that are often important in human communication. For example, they may miss the sarcastic or ironic tone of a sentence and translate it literally.Language dependency: language dependent, meaning that they work best for translating between widely spoken and documented languages but do not represent less common languages or regional dialects well. .Cost: While there are some available for free, many of the high-quality tools are quite expensive.Lack of customization: AI-based translation tools cannot be customized to meet the specific needs of an individual or company. This can limit their usefulness especially when highly specialized or technical translation is required.Privacy and security: Some tools collect and store sensitive data, which can raise serious concerns about data privacy and security.In conclusion, AI-based translation tools offer a number of advantages in terms of speed, accuracy and cost, but it is important to be aware of their limitations and challenges when selecting a tool.How AI-based translation tools are changing the translation industryAI-based translation tools are changing the translation industry in several ways. The first is that the translation process is faster and more efficient. This allows translators to handle larger volumes of work and deliver projects faster. The second way in which they are changing the industry is that specialized translators are becoming more in demand, as human quality is irreplaceable and although they can do basic translations, they have problems with technical or specialized language.This means that specialized translators in certain areas are more in demand than ever.The future of AI-based translation toolsThe future of AI-based translation tools is bright. As technology continues to advance, these tools will become even more sophisticated and accurate. We may eventually see a tool capable of handling all forms of language, including slang and regional dialects. It is also possible that they will become more integrated into our daily lives, allowing us to communicate with people who speak different languages more easily than ever before, yet experts continue to warn that humans cannot be replaced.Conclusion and recommendations for the best AI-based translation toolsIn conclusion, AI-based translation tools offer many advantages over traditional methods. They are faster, more accurate and can handle a higher volume of work. However, it is important to consider the languages you need to translate, the type of translations you need, the accuracy of the translations and the cost of the tool when choosing an AI-based translation tool, because at the end of the day no AI can replace a human being, nor can it emulate the human quality that a human being can bring to us.Based on our analysis and comparison, we recommend Google Translate for its versatility and variety of features. However, if you need high quality translations, LIKE.TG Translate may be the best choice.REMEMBER !!!You can downloadour available appsfor translating and learning languages correctly available for free on googleplay and applestores.Do not hesitate to visit ourLIKE.TG websiteand contact us with any questions or problems you may have, and of course, take a look at any ofour blog articles.

1-4月美国电商支出3316亿美元，消费者转向低价商品
1-4月美国电商支出3316亿美元，消费者转向低价商品
AMZ123 获悉，日前，据外媒报道，Adobe Analytics 的数据显示，2024 年前四个月美国电商增长强劲，同比增长 7%，达到 3316 亿美元。据了解，Adobe Analytics 对美国在线交易数据进行了分析，涵盖美国零售网站的一万亿次访问、1 亿个 SKU 和 18 个产品类别。2024 年 1 月 1 日至 4 月 30 日，美国在线支出达 3316 亿美元，同比增长 7%，得益于电子产品、服装等非必需品的稳定支出以及在线杂货购物的持续激增。Adobe 预计，2024 年上半年在线支出将超过 5000 亿美元，同比增长 6.8%。今年前四个月，美国消费者在线上消费电子产品 618 亿美元（同比增长 3.1%），服装 525 亿美元（同比增长 2.6%）。尽管增幅较小，但这两个类别占电商总支出的 34.5%，帮助保持了营收增长。同时，杂货进一步推动了增长，在线支出达 388 亿美元，同比增长 15.7%。Adobe 预计，未来三年内，该类别将成为电商市场的主导力量，其收入份额与电子产品和服装相当。另一个在线支出费增长较快的类别是化妆品，该类别在 2023 年带来了 350 亿美元的在线消费，同比增长 15.6%。而这一上升趋势仍在继续，截至 4 月 30 日，2024 年美国消费者在化妆品上的在线支出为 132 亿美元，同比增长 8%。此外，数月持续的通货膨胀导致消费者在多个主要类别中购买更便宜的商品。Adobe 发现，个人护理（增长 96%）、电子产品（增长 64%）、服装（增长 47%）、家居/花园（增长 42%）、家具/床上用品（增长 42%）和杂货（增长 33%）等类别的低价商品份额均大幅增加。具体而言，在食品杂货等类别中，低通胀商品的收入增长 13.4%，而高通胀商品的收入下降 15.6%。在化妆品等类别中，影响相对较弱，低通胀商品的收入增长 3.06%，高通胀商品的收入仅下降 0.34%，主要由于消费者对自己喜欢的品牌表现出了更强的忠诚度。而体育用品（增长 28%）、家电（增长 26%）、工具/家装（增长 26%）和玩具（增长 25%）等类别的低价商品份额增幅均较小，这些类别的增幅也主要受品牌忠诚度影响，同时消费者更倾向于购买最高品质的此类产品。此外，“先买后付”（BNPL）支付方式在此期间也出现了持续增长。2024 年 1 月至 4 月，BNPL 推动了 259 亿美元的电商支出，较去年同期大幅增长 11.8%。Adobe 预计，BNPL 将在 2024 年全年推动 810 亿至 848 亿美元的支出，同比增长 8% 至 13%。

Discord｜海外社媒营销的下一个风口？
Discord｜海外社媒营销的下一个风口？
Discord这个软件相信打游戏的各位多少都会有点了解。作为功能上和YY相类似的语音软件，已经逐渐成为各类游戏玩家的青睐。在这里你可以创建属于自己的频道，叫上三五个朋友一起开黑，体验线上五连坐的游戏体验。但Discord可不是我们口中说的美国版YY这么简单。 Discord最初是为了方便人们交流而创立的应用程序。游戏玩家、电影迷和美剧迷、包括NFT创作者和区块链项目都在Discord上装修起一个个属于自己的小家。而在互联网的不断发展中，Discord现如今已经发展成为一种高效的营销工具，其强大的社区的功能已远不止语音交谈这一单一功能了。本文我们将结合市场营销现有的一些概念，带你领略Discord背后的无穷价值。 初代海外社媒营销： 当我们谈及Marketing市场营销，我们大多能想到的就是广告，以广告投放去获得较为多的转化为最终目的。但随着公众利益的变化，市场营销的策略也在不断改变。社交媒体类别的营销是现在更多品牌更为看重的一块流量池。我们可以选择付费营销，当然也可以选择不付费，这正式大多数的品牌所处的阶段。如国内的微博，抖音。又好比海外的Facebook, Instagram等。 但是，当我们深入地了解这些社交媒体的算法时不难发现。人们经常会错过我们的内容，又或者在看到这是一个广告之后就选择离开，其推广的触达率并不显著。其原因其实和初代社交媒体的属性分不开。 我们来打个比方：当你在YouTube上看着喜爱的博主视频，YouTube突然暂停了你的视频，给你插入了品牌方的广告。试问你的心情如何？你会选择安心看完这个广告，对其推广的产品产生了兴趣。还是想尽一切办法去关掉这个烦人的广告？而在不付费的内容上：你更喜欢看那些能娱乐你，充实你生活的内容。还是选择去看一个可能和你毫不相干的品牌贴文？在大数据的加持下，品牌方可能绞尽脑汁的想去获得你这个用户。但选择权仍就在用户手上，用户选择社交媒体的原因更多是为了娱乐和社交。我们也不愿意和一个个客气的“品牌Logo”去对话。 Discord是如何改变营销世界的？ Discord又有什么不一样呢？你觉的他的营销手段就像发Email一样，给你特定的社群发送一组消息？谈到Email，这里要插一嘴。其触达率表现也并不优异，你发送的重要通告，新闻稿，打折促销。都有可能在用户还未浏览收之前就已经进了垃圾箱，又或者是和其他数百封未读邮件中等待着缘分的到来。 其实Discord的频道属性很美妙的化解了社交媒体现在的窘境，我们再来打个比方：比如你很喜欢篮球，因此你进入到了这个Discord篮球频道。而在这个频道里又包含了中锋，前锋，后卫这些细分频道。后卫又细分到了控球后卫，得分后卫。但总的来说，这个频道的用户都是喜欢篮球的群体。Discord的属性也拉近了品牌和用户的距离，你们不再是用户和一个个官方的“品牌Logo”对话。取而代之的则是一个个亲近感十足的好兄弟。直播带货中的“家人们”好像就是这一形式哈哈。 因此在Discord 上你可以针对不同频道发送不同的公告消息，使目标用户能够及时获得你的任何更新。他可不像电子邮件一样，淹没在一堆未读邮件中，也不会像社媒贴文一样被忽视。更精准的去区分不同的目标受众这一独特性也注定了Discord Marketing的强大功能。 Discord拓展属性： 自Facebook更名Meta等一系列动作下，2021年被世人称为元宇宙元年。在这一大背景下，更多的社交媒体开始逐渐向元宇宙靠拢。Twitter逐渐成为各类项目方的首选宣发媒体。Discord的属性也被更多项目方所发现，现如今Discord已被广泛运用在区块链领域。Discord事实上已经成为加密货币社区的最大聚集地，学习使用Discord也已经成为了圈内最入门技能。随着未来大量的区块链项目的上线Discord也将获得更加直接的变现手段。 Discord的各类载体已经数不胜数，区块链、游戏开黑、公司办公软件、线上教课。Discord是否能成为海外社媒的下一个风口？还是他已经成为了？这个不是我们能说了算的，但甭管你是想做品牌推广，还是单纯的就想酣畅漓淋的和朋友一起开个黑。选择Discord都是一个不错的选择。 -->

24 Stunning Instagram Themes (& How to Borrow Them for Your Own Feed)
24 Stunning Instagram Themes (& How to Borrow Them for Your Own Feed)
Nowadays, Instagram is often someone's initial contact with a brand, and nearly half of its users shop on the platform each week. If it's the entryway for half of your potential sales, don't you want your profile to look clean and inviting? Taking the time to create an engaging Instagram feed aesthetic is one of the most effective ways to persuade someone to follow your business's Instagram account or peruse your posts. You only have one chance to make a good first impression — so it's critical that you put effort into your Instagram feed. Finding the perfect place to start is tough — where do you find inspiration? What color scheme should you use? How do you organize your posts so they look like a unit? We know you enjoy learning by example, so we've compiled the answers to all of these questions in a list of stunning Instagram themes. We hope these inspire your own feed's transformation. But beware, these feeds are so desirable, you'll have a hard time choosing just one. What is an Instagram theme?An instagram theme is a visual aesthetic created by individuals and brands to achieve a cohesive look on their Instagram feeds. Instagram themes help social media managers curate different types of content into a digital motif that brings a balanced feel to the profile. Tools to Create Your Own Instagram Theme Creating a theme on your own requires a keen eye for detail. When you’re editing several posts a week that follow the same theme, you’ll want to have a design tool handy to make that workflow easier. Pre-set filters, color palettes, and graphic elements are just a few of the features these tools use, but if you have a sophisticated theme to maintain, a few of these tools include advanced features like video editing and layout previews. Here are our top five favorite tools to use when editing photos for an Instagram theme. 1. VSCO Creators look to VSCO when they want to achieve the most unique photo edits. This app is one of the top-ranked photo editing tools among photographers because it includes advanced editing features without needing to pull out all the stops in Photoshop. If you’re in a hurry and want to create an Instagram theme quickly, use one of the 200+ VSCO presets including name-brand designs by Kodak, Agfa, and Ilford. If you’ll be including video as part of your content lineup on Instagram, you can use the same presets from the images so every square of content blends seamlessly into the next no matter what format it’s in. 2. FaceTune2 FaceTune2 is a powerful photo editing app that can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play. The free version of the app includes all the basic editing features like brightness, lighting, cropping, and filters. The pro version gives you more detailed control over retouching and background editing. For video snippets, use FaceTune Video to make detailed adjustments right from your mobile device — you’ll just need to download the app separately for that capability. If you’re starting to test whether an Instagram theme is right for your brand, FaceTune2 is an affordable tool worth trying. 3. Canva You know Canva as a user-friendly and free option to create graphics, but it can be a powerful photo editing tool to curate your Instagram theme. For more abstract themes that mix imagery with graphic art, you can add shapes, textures, and text to your images. Using the photo editor, you can import your image and adjust the levels, add filters, and apply unique effects to give each piece of content a look that’s unique to your brand. 4. Adobe Illustrator Have you ever used Adobe Illustrator to create interesting overlays and tints for images? You can do the same thing to develop your Instagram theme. Traditionally, Adobe Illustrator is the go-to tool to create vectors and logos, but this software has some pretty handy features for creating photo filters and designs. Moreover, you can layout your artboards in an Instagram-style grid to see exactly how each image will appear in your feed. 5. Photoshop Photoshop is the most well-known photo editing software, and it works especially well for creating Instagram themes. If you have the capacity to pull out all the stops and tweak every detail, Photoshop will get the job done. Not only are the editing, filter, and adjustment options virtually limitless, Photoshop is great for batch processing the same edits across several images in a matter of seconds. You’ll also optimize your workflow by using photoshop to edit the composition, alter the background, and remove any unwanted components of an image without switching to another editing software to add your filter. With Photoshop, you have complete control over your theme which means you won’t have to worry about your profile looking exactly like someone else’s. Instagram ThemesTransitionBlack and WhiteBright ColorsMinimalistOne ColorTwo ColorsPastelsOne ThemePuzzleUnique AnglesText OnlyCheckerboardBlack or White BordersSame FilterFlatlaysVintageRepetitionMix-and-match Horizontal and Vertical BordersQuotesDark ColorsRainbowDoodleTextLinesAnglesHorizontal Lines 1. Transition If you aren’t set on one specific Instagram theme, consider the transition theme. With this aesthetic, you can experiment with merging colors every couple of images. For example, you could start with a black theme and include beige accents in every image. From there, gradually introduce the next color, in this case, blue. Eventually, you’ll find that your Instagram feed will seamlessly transition between the colors you choose which keeps things interesting without straying from a cohesive look and feel. 2. Black and White A polished black and white theme is a good choice to evoke a sense of sophistication. The lack of color draws you into the photo's main subject and suggests a timeless element to your business. @Lisedesmet's black and white feed, for instance, focuses the user’s gaze on the image's subject, like the black sneakers or white balloon. 3. Bright Colors If your company's brand is meant to imply playfulness or fun, there's probably no better way than to create a feed full of bright colors. Bright colors are attention-grabbing and lighthearted, which could be ideal for attracting a younger audience. @Aww.sam's feed, for instance, showcases someone who doesn't take herself too seriously. 4. Minimalist For an artsier edge, consider taking a minimalist approach to your feed, like @emwng does. The images are inviting and slightly whimsical in their simplicity, and cultivate feelings of serenity and stability. The pup pics only add wholesomeness to this minimalist theme. Plus, minimalist feeds are less distracting by nature, so it can be easier to get a true sense of the brand from the feed alone, without clicking on individual posts. 5. One Color One of the easiest ways to pick a theme for your feed is to choose one color and stick to it — this can help steer your creative direction, and looks clean and cohesive from afar. It's particularly appealing if you choose an aesthetically pleasing and calm color, like the soft pink used in the popular hashtag #blackwomeninpink. 6. Two Colors If you're interested in creating a highly cohesive feed but don't want to stick to the one-color theme, consider trying two. Two colors can help your feed look organized and clean — plus, if you choose branded colors, it can help you create cohesion between your other social media sites the website itself. I recommend choosing two contrasting colors for a punchy look like the one shown in @Dreaming_outloud’s profile. 7. Pastels Similar to the one-color idea, it might be useful to choose one color palette for your feed, like @creativekipi's use of pastels. Pastels, in particular, often used for Easter eggs or cupcake decorations, appear childlike and cheerful. Plus, they're captivating and unexpected. 8. One Subject As evident from @mustdoflorida's feed (and username), it's possible to focus your feed on one singular object or idea — like beach-related objects and activities in Florida. If you're aiming to showcase your creativity or photography skills, it could be compelling to create a feed where each post follows one theme. 9. Puzzle Creating a puzzle out of your feed is complicated and takes some planning, but can reap big rewards in terms of uniqueness and engaging an audience. @Juniperoats’ posts, for instance, make the most sense when you look at it from the feed, rather than individual posts. It's hard not to be both impressed and enthralled by the final result, and if you post puzzle piece pictures individually, you can evoke serious curiosity from your followers. 10. Unique Angles Displaying everyday items and activities from unexpected angles is sure to draw attention to your Instagram feed. Similar to the way lines create a theme, angles use direction to create interest. Taking an image of different subjects from similar angles can unite even the most uncommon photos into a consistent theme. 11. Text Only A picture is worth a thousand words, but how many pictures is a well-designed quote worth? Confident Woman Co. breaks the rules of Instagram that say images should have a face in them to get the best engagement. Not so with this Instagram theme. The bright colors and highlighted text make this layout aesthetically pleasing both in the Instagram grid format and as a one-off post on the feed. Even within this strict text-only theme, there’s still room to break up the monotony with a type-treated font and textured background like the last image does in the middle row. 12. Checkerboard If you're not a big fan of horizontal or vertical lines, you might try a checkerboard theme. Similar to horizontal lines, this theme allows you to alternate between content and images or colors as seen in @thefemalehustlers’ feed. 13. Black or White Borders While it is a bit jarring to have black or white borders outlining every image, it definitely sets your feed apart from everyone else's. @Beautifulandyummy, for instance, uses black borders to draw attention to her images, and the finished feed looks both polished and sophisticated. This theme will likely be more successful if you're aiming to sell fashion products or want to evoke an edgier feel for your brand. 14. Same Filter If you prefer uniformity, you'll probably like this Instagram theme, which focuses on using the same filter (or set of filters) for every post. From close up, this doesn't make much difference on your images, but from afar, it definitely makes the feed appear more cohesive. @marianna_hewitt, for example, is able to make her posts of hair, drinks, and fashion seem more refined and professional, simply by using the same filter for all her posts. 15. Flatlays If your primary goal with Instagram is to showcase your products, you might want a Flatlay theme. Flatlay is an effective way to tell a story simply by arranging objects in an image a certain way and makes it easier to direct viewers' attention to a product. As seen in @thedailyedited's feed, a flatlay theme looks fresh and modern. 16. Vintage If it aligns with your brand, vintage is a creative and striking aesthetic that looks both artsy and laid-back. And, while "vintage" might sound a little bit vague, it's easy to conjure. Simply try a filter like Slumber or Aden (built into Instagram), or play around with a third-party editing tool to find a soft, hazy filter that makes your photos look like they were taken from an old polaroid camera. 17. Repetition In @girleatworld's Instagram account, you can count on one thing to remain consistent throughout her feed: she's always holding up food in her hand. This type of repetition looks clean and engaging, and as a follower, it means I always recognize one of her posts as I'm scrolling through my own feed. Consider how you might evoke similar repetition in your own posts to create a brand image all your own. 18. Mix-and-match Horizontal and Vertical Borders While this admittedly requires some planning, the resulting feed is incredibly eye-catching and unique. Simply use the Preview app and choose two different white borders, Vela and Sole, to alternate between horizontal and vertical borders. The resulting feed will look spaced out and clean. 19. Quotes If you're a writer or content creator, you might consider creating an entire feed of quotes, like @thegoodquote feed, which showcases quotes on different mediums, ranging from paperback books to Tweets. Consider typing your quotes and changing up the color of the background, or handwriting your quotes and placing them near interesting objects like flowers or a coffee mug. 20. Dark Colors @JackHarding 's nature photos are nothing short of spectacular, and he highlights their beauty by filtering with a dark overtone. To do this, consider desaturating your content and using filters with cooler colors, like greens and blues, rather than warm ones. The resulting feed looks clean, sleek, and professional. 21. Rainbow One way to introduce color into your feed? Try creating a rainbow by slowly progressing your posts through the colors of the rainbow, starting at red and ending at purple (and then, starting all over again). The resulting feed is stunning. 22. Doodle Most people on Instagram stick to photos and filters, so to stand out, you might consider adding drawings or cartoon doodles on top of (or replacing) regular photo posts. This is a good idea if you're an artist or a web designer and want to draw attention to your artistic abilities — plus, it's sure to get a smile from your followers, like these adorable doodles shown below by @josie.doodles. 23. Content Elements Similar elements in your photos can create an enticing Instagram theme. In this example by The Container Store Custom Closets, the theme uses shelves or clothes in each image to visually bring the feed together. Rather than each photo appearing as a separate room, they all combine to create a smooth layout that displays The Container Store’s products in a way that feels natural to the viewer. 24. Structural Lines Something about this Instagram feed feels different, doesn’t it? Aside from the content focusing on skyscrapers, the lines of the buildings in each image turn this layout into a unique theme. If your brand isn’t in the business of building skyscrapers, you can still implement a theme like this by looking for straight or curved lines in the photos your capture. The key to creating crisp lines from the subjects in your photos is to snap them in great lighting and find symmetry in the image wherever possible. 25. Horizontal Lines If your brand does well with aligning photography with content, you might consider organizing your posts in a thoughtful way — for instance, creating either horizontal or vertical lines, with your rows alternating between colors, text, or even subject distance. @mariahb.makeup employs this tactic, and her feed looks clean and intriguing as a result. How to Create an Instagram Theme 1. Choose a consistent color palette. One major factor of any Instagram theme is consistency. For instance, you wouldn't want to regularly change your theme from black-and-white to rainbow — this could confuse your followers and damage your brand image. Of course, a complete company rebrand might require you to shift your Instagram strategy, but for the most part, you want to stay consistent with the types of visual content you post on Instagram. For this reason, you'll need to choose a color palette to adhere to when creating an Instagram theme. Perhaps you choose to use brand colors. LIKE.TG's Instagram, for instance, primarily uses blues, oranges, and teal, three colors prominently displayed on LIKE.TG's website and products. Alternatively, maybe you choose one of the themes listed above, such as black-and-white. Whatever the case, to create an Instagram theme, it's critical you stick to a few colors throughout all of your content. 2. Use the same filter for each post, or edit each post similarly. As noted above, consistency is a critical element in any Instagram theme, so you'll want to find your favorite one or two filters and use them for each of your posts. You can use Instagram's built-in filters, or try an editing app like VSCO or Snapseed. Alternatively, if you're going for a minimalist look, you might skip filters entirely and simply use a few editing features, like contrast and exposure. Whatever you choose, though, you'll want to continue to edit each of your posts similarly to create a cohesive feed. 3. Use a visual feed planner to plan posts far in advance. It's vital that you plan your Instagram posts ahead of time for a few different reasons, including ensuring you post a good variety of content and that you post it during a good time of day. Additionally, when creating an Instagram theme, you'll need to plan posts in advance to figure out how they fit together — like puzzle pieces, your individual pieces of content need to reinforce your theme as a whole. To plan posts far in advance and visualize how they reinforce your theme, you'll want to use a visual Instagram planner like Later or Planoly. Best of all, you can use these apps to preview your feed and ensure your theme is looking the way you want it to look before you press "Publish" on any of your posts. 4. Don't lock yourself into a theme you can't enjoy for the long haul. In middle school, I often liked to change my "look" — one day I aimed for preppy, and the next I chose a more athletic look. Of course, as I got older, I began to understand what style I could stick with for the long haul and started shopping for clothes that fit my authentic style so I wasn't constantly purchasing new clothes and getting sick of them a few weeks later. Similarly, you don't want to choose an Instagram theme you can't live with for a long time. Your Instagram theme should be an accurate reflection of your brand, and if it isn't, it probably won't last. Just because rainbow colors sound interesting at the get-go doesn't mean it's a good fit for your company's social media aesthetic as a whole. When in doubt, choose a more simple theme that provides you the opportunity to get creative and experiment without straying too far off-theme. How to Use an Instagram Theme on Your Profile 1. Choose what photos you want to post before choosing your theme. When you start an Instagram theme, there are so many options to choose from. Filters, colors, styles, angles — the choices are endless. But it’s important to keep in mind that these things won’t make your theme stand out. The content is still the star of the show. If the images aren’t balanced on the feed, your theme will look like a photo dump that happens to have the same filter on it. To curate the perfect Instagram theme, choose what photos you plan to post before choosing a theme. I highly recommend laying these photos out in a nine-square grid as well so you can see how the photos blend together. 2. Don’t forget the captions. Sure, no one is going to see the captions of your Instagram photos when they’re looking at your theme in the grid-view, but they will see them when you post each photo individually. There will be times when an image you post may be of something abstract, like the corner of a building, an empty suitcase, or a pair of sunglasses. On their own, these things might not be so interesting, but a thoughtful caption that ties the image to your overall theme can help keep your followers engaged when they might otherwise check out and keep scrolling past your profile. If you’re having a bit of writer’s block, check out these 201 Instagram captions for every type of post. 3. Switch up your theme with color blocks. Earlier, we talked about choosing a theme that you can commit to for the long haul. But there’s an exception to that rule — color transitions. Some of the best themes aren’t based on a specific color at all. Rather than using the same color palette throughout the Instagram feed, you can have colors blend into one another with each photo. This way, you can include a larger variety of photos without limiting yourself to specific hues. A Cohesive Instagram Theme At Your Fingertips Instagram marketing is more than numbers. As the most visual social media platform today, what you post and how it looks directly affects engagement, followers, and how your brand shows up online. A cohesive Instagram theme can help your brand convey a value proposition, promote a product, or execute a campaign. Colors and filters make beautiful themes, but there are several additional ways to stop your followers mid-scroll with a fun, unified aesthetic.

Title: Exploring the Role of Proxies in Ensuring Online Security and PrivacyDescription: In this blog post, we will delve into the world of proxies and their significance in ensuring online security and privacy. We will discuss the different types of proxies, their functionalities, and their role in safeguarding our online activities. Additionally, we will explore the benefits and drawbacks of using proxies, and provide recommendations for choosing the right proxy service.IntroductionIn today's digital age, where our lives have become increasingly interconnected through the internet, ensuring online security and privacy has become paramount. While we may take precautions such as using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication, another valuable tool in this endeavor is the use of proxies. Proxies play a crucial role in protecting our online activities by acting as intermediaries between our devices and the websites we visit. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of proxies, their functionalities, and how they contribute to enhancing online security and privacy.Understanding Proxies Proxies, in simple terms, are intermediate servers that act as connectors between a user's device and the internet. When we access a website through a proxy server, our request to view the webpage is first routed through the proxy server before reaching the website. This process helps ensure that our IP address, location, and other identifying information are not directly visible to the website we are accessing.Types of Proxies There are several types of proxies available, each with its own purpose and level of anonymity. Here are three common types of proxies:1. HTTP Proxies: These proxies are primarily used for accessing web content. They are easy to set up and can be used for basic online activities such as browsing, but they may not provide strong encryption or complete anonymity.2. SOCKS Proxies: SOCKS (Socket Secure) proxies operate at a lower level than HTTP proxies. They allow for a wider range of internet usage, including applications and protocols beyond just web browsing. SOCKS proxies are popular for activities such as torrenting and online gaming.Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Proxies Using proxies offers several advantages in terms of online security and privacy. Firstly, proxies can help mask our real IP address, making it difficult for websites to track our online activities. This added layer of anonymity can be particularly useful when accessing websites that may track or collect user data for advertising or other purposes.Moreover, proxies can also help bypass geolocation restrictions. By routing our internet connection through a proxy server in a different country, we can gain access to content that may be blocked or restricted in our actual location. This can be particularly useful for accessing streaming services or websites that are limited to specific regions.However, it is important to note that using proxies does have some drawbacks. One potential disadvantage is the reduced browsing speed that can occur when routing internet traffic through a proxy server. Since the proxy server acts as an intermediary, it can introduce additional latency, resulting in slower webpage loading times.Another potential concern with using proxies is the potential for malicious or untrustworthy proxy servers. If we choose a proxy service that is not reputable or secure, our online activities and data could be compromised. Therefore, it is crucial to research and select a reliable proxy service provider that prioritizes user security and privacy.Choosing the Right Proxy Service When selecting a proxy service, there are certain factors to consider. Firstly, it is essential to evaluate the level of security and encryption provided by the proxy service. Look for services that offer strong encryption protocols such as SSL/TLS to ensure that your online activities are protected.Additionally, consider the speed and availability of proxy servers. Opt for proxy service providers that have a wide network of servers in different locations to ensure optimal browsing speed and access to blocked content.Lastly, read user reviews and consider the reputation of the proxy service provider. Look for positive feedback regarding their customer support, reliability, and commitment to user privacy.Conclusion In an era where online security and privacy are of utmost importance, proxies offer a valuable tool for safeguarding our digital lives. By understanding the different types of proxies and their functionalities, we can make informed choices when it comes to selecting the right proxy service. While proxies provide enhanced privacy and security, it is crucial to be mindful of the potential drawbacks and choose reputable proxy service providers to ensure a safe online experience.

2018年，中小电商企业需要把握住这4个大数据趋势
2018年，中小电商企业需要把握住这4个大数据趋势
新的一年意味着你需要做出新的决定，这当然不仅限于发誓要减肥或者锻炼。商业和技术正飞速发展，你的公司需要及时跟上这些趋势。以下这几个数字能帮你在2018年制定工作规划时提供一定的方向。 人工智能（AI）在过去的12到18个月里一直是最热门的技术之一。11月，在CRM 软件服务提供商Salesforce的Dreamforce大会上，首席执行官Marc Benioff的一篇演讲中提到：Salesforce的人工智能产品Einstein每天都能在所有的云计算中做出了4.75亿次预测。 这个数字是相当惊人的。Einstein是在一年多前才宣布推出的，可现在它正在疯狂地“吐出”预测。而这仅仅是来自一个拥有15万客户的服务商。现在，所有主要的CRM服务商都有自己的人工智能项目，每天可能会产生超过10亿的预测来帮助公司改善客户交互。由于这一模式尚处于发展初期，所以现在是时候去了解能够如何利用这些平台来更有效地吸引客户和潜在客户了。 这一数字来自Facebook于2017年底的一项调查，该调查显示，人们之前往往是利用Messenger来与朋友和家人交流，但现在有越来越多人已经快速习惯于利用该工具与企业进行互动。 Facebook Messenger的战略合作伙伴关系团队成员Linda Lee表示，“人们提的问题有时会围绕特定的服务或产品，因为针对这些服务或产品，他们需要更多的细节或规格。此外，有时还会涉及到处理客户服务问题——或许他们已经购买了一个产品或服务，随后就会出现问题。” 当你看到一个3.3亿人口这个数字时，你必须要注意到这一趋势，因为在2018年这一趋势将很有可能会加速。 据Instagram在11月底发布的一份公告显示，该平台上80%的用户都关注了企业账号，每天有2亿Instagram用户都会访问企业的主页。与此相关的是，Instagram上的企业账号数量已经从7月的1500万增加到了2500万。 根据该公司的数据显示，Instagram上三分之一的小企业表示，他们已经通过该平台建立起了自己的业务；有45%的人称他们的销售额增加了；44%的人表示，该平台帮助了他们在其他城市、州或国家销售产品。 随着视频和图片正在吸引越多人们的注意力，像Instagram这样的网站，对B2C和B2B公司的重要性正在与日俱增。利用Instagram的广泛影响力，小型企业可以用更有意义的方式与客户或潜在客户进行互动。 谈到亚马逊，我们可以列出很多吸引眼球的数字，比如自2011年以来，它向小企业提供了10亿美元的贷款。而且在2017年的网络星期一，亚马逊的当天交易额为65.9亿美元，成为了美国有史以来最大的电商销售日。同时，网络星期一也是亚马逊平台卖家的最大销售日，来自全世界各地的顾客共从这些小企业订购了近1.4亿件商品。 亚马逊表示，通过亚马逊app订购的手机用户数量增长了50%。这也意味着，有相当数量的产品是通过移动设备销售出的。 所有这些大数据都表明，客户与企业的互动在未来将会发生巨大的变化。有些发展会比其他的发展更深入，但这些数字都说明了该领域的变化之快，以及技术的加速普及是如何推动所有这些发展的。 最后，希望这些大数据可以对你的2018年规划有一定的帮助。 （编译/LIKE.TG 康杰炜）

2021年B2B外贸跨境获客催化剂-行业案例之测控
2021年B2B外贸跨境获客催化剂-行业案例之测控
随着时间的推移，数字化已经在中国大量普及，越来越多的B2B企业意识到数字营销、内容营销、社交传播可以帮助业务加速推进。但是在和大量B2B出海企业的合作过程中，我们分析发现在实际的营销中存在诸多的瓶颈和痛点。 例如：传统B2B营销方式获客难度不断增大、获客受众局限、询盘成本高但质量不高、询盘数量增长不明显、线下展会覆盖客户的流失等，这些都是每天考验着B2B营销人的难题。 说到这些痛点和瓶颈，就不得不提到谷歌广告了，对比其他推广平台，Google是全球第一大搜索引擎，全球月活跃用户高达50亿人，覆盖80%全球互联网用户。受众覆盖足够的前提下，谷歌广告（ Google Ads）还包括多种广告形式：搜索广告、展示广告（再营销展示广告、竞对广告）、视频广告、发现广告等全方位投放广告，关键字精准定位投放国家的相关客户，紧跟采购商的采购途径，增加获客。可以完美解决上面提到的痛点及瓶颈。 Google 360度获取优质流量： Google线上营销产品全方位助力： 营销网站+黄金账户诊断报告+定期报告=效果。 Google Ads为太多B2B出海企业带来了红利，这些红利也并不是简简单单就得来的，秘诀就是贵在坚持。多年推广经验总结：即使再好的平台，也有部分企业运营效果不好的时候，那应该怎么办？像正处在这种情况下的企业就应该放弃吗？ 答案是：不，我们应该继续优化，那为什么这么说呢？就是最近遇到一个很典型的案例一家测控行业的企业，仅仅投放2个月的Google Ads，就因为询盘数量不多（日均150元，3-4封/月），投资回报率不成正比就打算放弃。 但其实2个月不足以说明什么，首先谷歌推广的探索期就是3个月，2个月基本处于平衡稳定的阶段。 其次对于刚刚做谷歌广告的新公司来说，国外客户是陌生的，即使看到广告进到网站也并不会第一时间就留言，货比三家，也会增加采购商的考虑时间，一直曝光在他的搜索结果页产生熟悉度，总会增加一些决定因素。 再有日预算150元，不足以支撑24小时点击，有时在搜索量较大的时候却没有了预算，导致了客户的流失。 最后不同的行业账户推广形式及效果也不一样，即使行业一样但是网站、公司实力等因素就不可能一模一样，即使一模一样也会因为流量竞争、推广时长等诸多因素导致效果不一样。 成功都是摸索尝试出来的，这个企业账户也一样，经过我们进一步的沟通分析决定再尝试一次， 这一次深度的分析及账户的优化后，最终效果翻了2-3倍，做到了从之前的高成本、低询盘量到现在低成本、高询盘的过渡。 这样的一个操作就是很好地开发了这个平台，通过充分利用达到了企业想要的一个效果。所以说啊，当谷歌广告做的不好的时候不应该放弃，那我们就来一起看一下这个企业是如何做到的。 2021年B2B外贸跨境获客催化剂-行业案例之测控（上） 一、主角篇-雷达液位测量仪 成立时间：2010年； 业务：微波原理的物料雷达液位测量与控制仪器生产、技术研发，雷达开发； 产业规模：客户分布在11个国家和地区，包括中国、巴西、马来西亚和沙特阿拉伯； 公司推广目标：低成本获得询盘，≤200元/封。 本次分享的主角是测控行业-雷达液位测量仪，目前预算250元/天，每周6-7封有效询盘，广告形式以：搜索广告+展示再营销为主。 过程中从一开始的控制预算150/天以搜索和展示再营销推广形式为主，1-2封询盘/周，询盘成本有时高达1000/封，客户预期是100-300的单个询盘成本，对于公司来说是能承受的价格。 以增加询盘数量为目的尝试过竞对广告和Gmail广告的推广，但投放过程中的转化不是很明显，一周的转化数据只有1-2个相比搜索广告1:5，每天都会花费，因为预算问题客户计划把重心及预算放在搜索广告上面，分析后更改账户广告结构还是以搜索+再营销为主，所以暂停这2种广告的推广。 账户调整后大约2周数据表现流量稳定，每周的点击、花费及转化基本稳定，平均为588：1213：24，询盘提升到了3-5封/周。 账户稳定后新流量的获取方法是现阶段的目标，YouTube视频广告，几万次的展示曝光几天就可以完成、单次观看价格只有几毛钱，传达给客户信息建议后，达成一致，因为这正是该客户一直所需要的低成本获取流量的途径； 另一个计划投放视频广告的原因是意识到想要增加网站访客进而增加获客只靠文字和图片已经没有太多的竞争力了，同时换位思考能够观看到视频也能提升采购商的购买几率。 所以就有了这样的后期的投放规划：搜索+展示再营销+视频广告300/天的推广形式，在谷歌浏览器的搜索端、B2B平台端、视频端都覆盖广告，实现尽可能多的客户数量。 关于具体的关于YouTube视频广告的介绍我也在另一篇案例里面有详细说明哦，指路《YouTube视频广告助力B2B突破瓶颈降低营销成本》，邀请大家去看看，干货满满，绝对让你不虚此行~ 二、方向转变篇-推广产品及国家重新定位 下面我就做一个账户实际转变前后的对比，这样大家能够更清楚一些： 最关键的来了，相信大家都想知道这个转变是怎么来的以及谷歌账户做了哪些调整把效果做上来的。抓住下面几点，相信你也会有所收获： 1. 产品投放新定位 因为企业是专门研发商用雷达，所以只投放这类的测量仪，其中大类主要分为各种物料、料位、液位测量仪器，其他的不做。根据关键字规划师查询的产品关键字在全球的搜索热度，一开始推广的只有雷达液位计/液位传感器/液位测量作为主推、无线液位变送器作为次推，产品及图片比较单一没有太多的竞争力。 后期根据全球商机洞察的行业产品搜索趋势、公司计划等结合统计结果又添加了超声波传感器、射频/电容/导纳、无线、制导雷达液位传感器、高频雷达液位变送器、无接触雷达液位计，同时增加了图片及详情的丰富性，做到了行业产品推广所需的多样性丰富性。像静压液位变送器、差压变送器没有他足够的搜索热度就没有推广。 2. 国家再筛选 转变前期的国家选取是根据海关编码查询的进口一直处在增长阶段的国家，也参考了谷歌趋势的国家参考。2018年全球进口（采购量）200.58亿美金。 采购国家排名：美国、德国、日本、英国、法国、韩国、加拿大、墨西哥、瑞典、荷兰、沙特阿拉伯。这些国家只能是参考切记跟风投放，疫情期间，实际的询盘国家还要靠数据和时间积累，做到及时止损即可。 投放过程不断摸索，经过推广数据总结，也根据实际询盘客户所在地暂停了部分国家，例如以色列、日本、老挝、摩纳哥、卡塔尔等国家和地区，加大力度投放巴西、秘鲁、智利、俄罗斯等国家即提高10%-20%的出价，主要推广地区还是在亚洲、南美、拉丁美洲、欧洲等地。 发达国家像英美加、墨西哥由于采购商的参考层面不同就单独拿出来给一小部分预算，让整体的预算花到发展中国家。通过后期每周的询盘反馈及时调整国家出价，有了现在的转变： 转变前的TOP10消耗国家： 转变后的TOP10消耗国家： 推广的产品及国家定下来之后，接下来就是做账户了，让我们继续往下看。 三、装备篇-账户投放策略 说到账户投放，前提是明确账户投放策略的宗旨：确保投资回报率。那影响投资回报率的效果指标有哪些呢？其中包含账户结构 、效果再提升（再营销、视频、智能优化等等）、网站着陆页。 那首先说明一下第一点：账户的结构，那账户结构怎么搭建呢？在以产品营销全球为目标的广告投放过程中，该客户在3个方面都有设置：预算、投放策略、搜索+再营销展示广告组合拳，缺一不可，也是上面转变后整体推广的总结。 账户结构：即推广的广告类型主要是搜索广告+再营销展示广告，如下图所示，下面来分别说明一下。 1、搜索广告结构： 1）广告系列 创建的重要性：我相信有很大一部分企业小伙伴在创建广告系列的时候都在考虑一个大方向上的问题：广告系列是针对所有国家投放吗？还是说不同的广告系列投放不同的国家呢？ 实操规则：其实建议选择不同广告系列投放不同的国家，为什么呢？因为每个国家和每个国家的特点不一样，所以说在广告投放的时候应该区分开，就是着重性的投放。所以搜索广告系列的结构就是区分开国家，按照大洲划分（投放的国家比较多的情况下，这样分配可以观察不同大洲的推广数据以及方便对市场的考察）。 优化技巧：这样操作也方便按照不同大洲的上班时间调整广告投放时间，做到精准投放。 数据分析：在数据分析方面更方便观察不同大洲的数据效果，从而调整国家及其出价；进而能了解到不同大洲对于不同产品的不同需求，从而方便调整关键字。 这也引出了第二个重点调整对象—关键字，那关键字的选取是怎么去选择呢？ 2）关键字 分为2部分品牌词+产品关键字，匹配形式可以采用广泛带+修饰符/词组/完全。 精准投放关键字： 品牌词：品牌词是一直推广的关键字，拓展品牌在海外的知名度应为企业首要的目的。 广告关键词：根据投放1个月数据发现：该行业里有一部分是大流量词（如Sensors、water level controller、Ultrasonic Sensor、meter、transmitter），即使是关键字做了完全匹配流量依然很大，但是实际带来的转化却很少也没有带来更多的询盘，这些词的调整过程是从修改匹配形式到降低出价再到暂停，这种就属于无效关键字了，我们要做到的是让预算花费到具体的产品关键字上。 其次流量比较大的词（如+ultrasound +sensor）修改成了词组匹配。还有一类词虽然搜索量不大但是有效性（转化次数/率）较高（例如：SENSOR DE NIVEL、level sensor、capacitive level sensor、level sensor fuel），针对这些关键字再去投放的时候出价可以相对高一些，1-3元即可。调整后的关键字花费前后对比，整体上有了大幅度的变化： 转变前的TOP10热力关键字： 转变后的TOP10热力关键字： PS: 关键字状态显示“有效”—可以采用第一种（防止错失账户投放关键字以外其他的也适合推广的该产品关键字）、如果投放一周后有花费失衡的状态可以把该关键字修改为词组匹配，观察一周还是失衡状态可改为完全匹配。 关键字状态显示“搜索量较低”—广泛匹配观察一个月，如果依然没有展示，建议暂停，否则会影响账户评级。 3）调整关键字出价 次推产品的出价都降低到了1-2元，主推产品也和实际咨询、平均每次点击费用做了对比调整到了3-4元左右（这些都是在之前高出价稳定排名基础后调整的）。 4）广告系列出价策略 基本包含尽可能争取更多点击次数/每次点击费用人工出价（智能）/目标每次转化费用3种，那分别什么时候用呢？ 当账户刚刚开始投放的时候，可以选择第一/二种，用来获取更多的新客，当账户有了一定的转化数据的时候可以把其中转化次数相对少一些的1-2个广告系列的出价策略更改为“目标每次转化费用”出价，用来增加转化提升询盘数量。转化次数多的广告系列暂时可以不用更换，等更改出价策略的广告系列的转化次数有增加后，可以尝试再修改。 5）广告 1条自适应搜索广告+2条文字广告，尽可能把更多的信息展示客户，增加点击率。那具体的广告语的侧重点是什么呢？ 除了产品本身的特点优势外，还是着重于企业的具体产品分类和能够为客户做到哪些服务，例如：专注于各种物体、料位、液位测量仪器生产与研发、为客户提供一体化测量解决方案等。这样进到网站的也基本是寻找相关产品的，从而也进一步提升了转化率。 6）搜索字词 建议日均花费≥200元每周筛选一次，＜200元每2周筛选一次。不相关的排除、相关的加到账户中，减少无效点击和花费，这样行业关键字才会越来越精准，做到精准覆盖意向客户。 7）账户广告系列预算 充足的账户预算也至关重要，200-300/天的预算，为什么呢？预算多少其实也就代表着网站流量的多少，之前150/天的预算，账户到下午6点左右就花完了，这样每天就会流失很大一部分客户。广告系列预算可以根据大洲国家的数量分配。数量多的可以分配多一些比如亚洲，预算利用率不足时可以共享预算，把多余的预算放到花费高的系列中。 说完了搜索广告的结构后，接下来就是再营销展示广告了。 2、效果再提升-再营销展示广告结构 因为广告投放覆盖的是曾到达过网站的客户，所以搜索广告的引流精准了，再营销会再抓取并把广告覆盖到因某些原因没有选择我们的客户，做到二次营销。（详细的介绍及操作可以参考文章《精准投放再营销展示广告，就抓住了提升Google营销效果的一大步》） 1）广告组：根据在GA中创建的受众群体导入到账户中。 2）图片： 选择3种产品，每种产品的图片必须提供徽标、横向图片、纵向图片不同尺寸至少1张，最多5张，横向图片可以由多张图片合成一张、可以添加logo和产品名称。 图片设计：再营销展示广告的图片选取从之前的直接选用网站上的产品图，到客户根据我给出的建议设计了独特的产品图片，也提升了0.5%的点击率。 PS: 在广告推广过程中，该客户做过2次产品打折促销活动，信息在图片及描述中曝光，转化率上升1%，如果企业有这方面的计划，可以尝试一下。 YouTube视频链接：如果有YouTube视频的话，建议把视频放在不同的产品页面方便客户实时查看视频，增加真实性，促进询盘及成单，如果视频影响网站打开速度，只在网站标头和logo链接即可。 智能优化建议：谷歌账户会根据推广的数据及状态给出相应的智能优化建议，优化得分≥80分为健康账户分值，每条建议可根据实际情况采纳。 3、网站着陆页 这也是沟通次数很多的问题了，因为即使谷歌为网站引来再多的有质量的客户，如果到达网站后没有看到想要或更多的信息，也是无用功。网站也是企业的第二张脸，做好网站就等于成功一半了。 转变前产品图片模糊、数量少、缺少实物图、工厂库存等体现实力及真实性的图片；产品详情也不是很多，没有足够的竞争力。多次沟通积极配合修改调整后上面的问题全部解决了。网站打开速度保持在3s内、网站的跳出率从之前的80%降到了70%左右、平均页面停留时间也增加了30%。 FAQ：除了正常的网站布局外建议在关于我们或产品详情页添加FAQ，会减少采购商的考虑时间，也会减少因时差导致的与客户失联。如下图所示： 四、账户效果反馈分享篇 1、效果方面 之前每周只有1-2封询盘，现在达到了每周3-5封询盘，确实是提高了不少。 2、询盘成本 从当初的≥1000到现在控制在了100-300左右。 3、转化率 搜索广告+再营销展示广告让网站访客流量得到了充分的利用，增加了1.3%转化率。 就这样，该客户的谷歌账户推广效果有了新的转变，询盘稳定后，又开启了Facebook付费广告，多渠道推广产品，全域赢为目标，产品有市场，这样的模式肯定是如虎添翼。 到此，本次的测控案例就分享完了到这里了，其实部分行业的推广注意事项大方向上都是相通的。催化剂并不难得，找到适合自己的方法~谷歌广告贵在坚持，不是说在一个平台上做的不好就不做了，效果不理想可以改进，改进就能做好。 希望本次的测控案例分享能在某些方面起到帮助作用，在当今大环境下，助力企业增加网站流量及询盘数量，2021祝愿看到这篇文章的企业能够更上一层楼！

2024年如何让谷歌快速收录网站页面？【全面指南】
2024年如何让谷歌快速收录网站页面？【全面指南】
什么是收录? 通常，一个网站的页面想要在谷歌上获得流量，需要经历如下三个步骤： 抓取：Google抓取你的页面，查看是否值得索引。 收录（索引）：通过初步评估后，Google将你的网页纳入其分类数据库。 排名：这是最后一步，Google将查询结果显示出来。 这其中。收录（Google indexing）是指谷歌通过其网络爬虫（Googlebot）抓取网站上的页面，并将这些页面添加到其数据库中的过程。被收录的页面可以出现在谷歌搜索结果中，当用户进行相关搜索时，这些页面有机会被展示。收录的过程包括三个主要步骤：抓取（Crawling）、索引（Indexing）和排名（Ranking）。首先，谷歌爬虫会抓取网站的内容，然后将符合标准的页面加入索引库，最后根据多种因素对这些页面进行排名。 如何保障收录顺利进行？ 确保页面有价值和独特性 确保页面内容对用户和Google有价值。 检查并更新旧内容，确保内容高质量且覆盖相关话题。 定期更新和重新优化内容 定期审查和更新内容，以保持竞争力。 删除低质量页面并创建内容删除计划 删除无流量或不相关的页面，提高网站整体质量。 确保robots.txt文件不阻止抓取 检查和更新robots.txt文件，确保不阻止Google抓取。 检查并修复无效的noindex标签和规范标签 修复导致页面无法索引的无效标签。 确保未索引的页面包含在站点地图中 将未索引的页面添加到XML站点地图中。 修复孤立页面和nofollow内部链接 确保所有页面通过站点地图、内部链接和导航被Google发现。 修复内部nofollow链接，确保正确引导Google抓取。 使用Rank Math Instant Indexing插件 利用Rank Math即时索引插件，快速通知Google抓取新发布的页面。 提高网站质量和索引过程 确保页面高质量、内容强大，并优化抓取预算，提高Google快速索引的可能性。 通过这些步骤，你可以确保Google更快地索引你的网站，提高搜索引擎排名。 如何加快谷歌收录你的网站页面？ 1、提交站点地图 提交站点地图Sitemap到谷歌站长工具（Google Search Console)中，在此之前你需要安装SEO插件如Yoast SEO插件来生成Sitemap。通常当你的电脑有了SEO插件并开启Site Map功能后，你可以看到你的 www.你的域名.com/sitemap.xml的形式来访问你的Site Map地图 在谷歌站长工具中提交你的Sitemap 2、转发页面or文章至社交媒体或者论坛 谷歌对于高流量高权重的网站是会经常去爬取收录的，这也是为什么很多时候我们可以在搜索引擎上第一时间搜索到一些最新社媒帖文等。目前最适合转发的平台包括Facebook、Linkedin、Quora、Reddit等，在其他类型的论坛要注意转发文章的外链植入是否违背他们的规则。 3、使用搜索引擎通知工具 这里介绍几个搜索引擎通知工具，Pingler和Pingomatic它们都是免费的，其作用是告诉搜索引擎你提交的某个链接已经更新了，吸引前来爬取。是的，这相当于提交站点地图，只不过这次是提交给第三方。 4、在原有的高权重页面上设置内链 假设你有一些高质量的页面已经获得不错的排名和流量，那么可以在遵循相关性的前提下，适当的从这些页面做几个内链链接到新页面中去，这样可以快速让新页面获得排名

12个独立站增长黑客办法
12个独立站增长黑客办法
最近总听卖家朋友们聊起增长黑客，所以就给大家总结了一下增长黑客的一些方法。首先要知道，什么是增长黑客？ 增长黑客（Growth Hacking）是营销人和程序员的混合体，其目标是产生巨大的增长—快速且经常在预算有限的情况下，是实现短时间内指数增长的最有效手段。增长黑客户和传统营销最大的区别在于： 传统营销重视认知和拉新获客增长黑客关注整个 AARRR 转换漏斗 那么，增长黑客方法有哪些呢？本文总结了12个经典增长黑客方法，对一些不是特别普遍的方法进行了延伸说明，建议收藏阅读。目 录1. SEO 2. 细分用户，低成本精准营销 3. PPC广告 4. Quora 流量黑客 5. 联合线上分享 6. 原生广告内容黑客 7. Google Ratings 8. 邮件营销 9. 调查问卷 10. 用户推荐 11. 比赛和赠送 12. 3000字文案营销1. SEO 查看 AdWords 中转化率最高的关键字，然后围绕这些关键字进行SEO策略的制定。也可以查看 Google Search Console 中的“搜索查询”报告，了解哪些关键字帮助你的网站获得了更多的点击，努力将关键词提升到第1页。用好免费的Google Search Console对于提升SEO有很大帮助。 使用Google Search Console可以在【Links】的部分看到哪个页面的反向连结 (Backlink)最多，从各个页面在建立反向连结上的优劣势。Backlink 的建立在 SEO 上来说是非常重要的! 在 【Coverage】 的部分你可以看到网站中是否有任何页面出现了错误，避免错误太多影响网站表现和排名。 如果担心Google 的爬虫程式漏掉一些页面，还可以在 Google Search Console 上提交网站的 Sitemap ，让 Google 的爬虫程式了解网站结构，避免遗漏页面。 可以使用XML-Sitemaps.com 等工具制作 sitemap，使用 WordPress建站的话还可以安装像Google XML Sitemaps、Yoast SEO 等插件去生成sitemap。2. 细分用户，低成本精准营销 针对那些看过你的产品的销售页面但是没有下单的用户进行精准营销，这样一来受众就会变得非常小，专门针对这些目标受众的打广告还可以提高点击率并大幅提高转化率，非常节约成本，每天经费可能都不到 10 美元。3. PPC广告PPC广告（Pay-per-Click）：是根据点击广告或者电子邮件信息的用户数量来付费的一种网络广告定价模式。PPC采用点击付费制，在用户在搜索的同时，协助他们主动接近企业提供的产品及服务。例如Amazon和Facebook的PPC广告。4. Quora 流量黑客 Quora 是一个问答SNS网站，类似于国内的知乎。Quora的使用人群主要集中在美国，印度，英国，加拿大，和澳大利亚，每月有6亿多的访问量。大部分都是通过搜索词，比如品牌名和关键词来到Quora的。例如下图，Quora上对于痘痘肌修复的问题就排在Google搜索相关词的前列。 通过SEMrush + Quora 可以提高在 Google 上的自然搜索排名： 进入SEMrush > Domain Analytics > Organic Research> 搜索 quora.com点击高级过滤器，过滤包含你的目标关键字、位置在前10，搜索流量大于 100 的关键字去Quora在这些问题下发布回答5. 联合线上分享 与在你的领域中有一定知名度的影响者进行线上讲座合作（Webinar），在讲座中传递一些意义的内容，比如一些与你产品息息相关的干货知识，然后将你的产品应用到讲座内容提到的一些问题场景中，最后向用户搜集是否愿意了解你们产品的反馈。 但是，Webinar常见于B2B营销，在B2C领域还是应用的比较少的，而且成本较高。 所以大家在做海外营销的时候不妨灵活转换思维，和领域中有知名度的影响者合作YouTube视频，TikTok/Instagram等平台的直播，在各大社交媒体铺开宣传，是未来几年海外营销的重点趋势。6. 原生广告内容黑客 Native Advertising platform 原生广告是什么？从本质上讲，原生广告是放置在网页浏览量最多的区域中的内容小部件。 简单来说，就是融合了网站、App本身的广告，这种广告会成为网站、App内容的一部分，如Google搜索广告、Facebook的Sponsored Stories以及Twitter的tweet式广告都属于这一范畴。 它的形式不受标准限制，是随场景而变化的广告形式。有视频类、主题表情原生广告、游戏关卡原生广告、Launcher桌面原生广告、Feeds信息流、和手机导航类。7. Google Ratings 在 Google 搜索结果和 Google Ads 上显示产品评分。可以使用任何与Google能集成的电商产品评分应用，并将你网站上的所有评论导入Google系统中。每次有人在搜索结果中看到你的广告或产品页面时，他们都会在旁边看到评分数量。 8. 邮件营销 据外媒统计，80% 的零售行业人士表示电子邮件营销是留住用户的一个非常重要的媒介。一般来说，邮件营销有以下几种类型： 弃单挽回邮件产品补货通知折扣、刮刮卡和优惠券发放全年最优价格邮件通知9. 用户推荐 Refer激励现有用户推荐他人到你的独立站下单。举个例子，Paypal通过用户推荐使他们的业务每天有 7% 到 10%的增长。因此，用户推荐是不可忽视的增长办法。10. 调查问卷 调查问卷是一种快速有效的增长方式，不仅可以衡量用户满意度，还可以获得客户对你产品的期望和意见。调查问卷的内容包括产品体验、物流体验、UI/UX等任何用户购买产品过程中遇到的问题。调查问卷在AARRR模型的Refer层中起到重要的作用，只有搭建好和客户之间沟通的桥梁，才能巩固你的品牌在客户心中的地位，增加好感度。 11. 比赛和赠送 这个增长方式的成本相对较低。你可以让你的用户有机会只需要通过点击就可以赢得他们喜欢的东西，同时帮你你建立知名度并获得更多粉丝。许多电商品牌都以比赛和赠送礼物为特色，而这也是他们成功的一部分。赠送礼物是增加社交媒体帐户曝光和电子邮件列表的绝佳方式。如果您想增加 Instagram 粉丝、Facebook 页面点赞数或电子邮件订阅者，比赛和赠送会创造奇迹。在第一种情况下，你可以让你的受众“在 Instagram 上关注我们来参加比赛”。同样，您可以要求他们“输入电子邮件地址以获胜”。有许多内容可以用来作为赠送礼物的概念：新产品发布/预发售、摄影比赛、节假日活动和赞助活动。12. 3000字文案营销 就某一个主题撰写 3,000 字的有深度博客文章。在文章中引用行业影响者的名言并链接到他们的博文中，然后发邮件让他们知道你在文章中推荐了他们，促进你们之间的互动互推。这种增长办法广泛使用于B2B的服务类网站，比如Shopify和Moz。 DTC品牌可以用这样的增长办法吗？其实不管你卖什么，在哪个行业，展示你的专业知识，分享新闻和原创观点以吸引消费者的注意。虽然这可能不会产生直接的销售，但能在一定程度上影响他们购买的决定，不妨在你的独立站做出一个子页面或单独做一个博客，发布与你产品/服务相关主题的文章。 数据显示，在阅读了品牌网站上的原创博客内容后，60%的消费者对品牌的感觉更积极。如果在博客中能正确使用关键词，还可以提高搜索引擎优化及排名。 比如Cottonbabies.com就利用博文把自己的SEO做得很好。他们有一个针对“布料尿布基础知识”的页面，为用户提供有关“尿布：”主题的所有问题的答案。小贴士：记得要在博客文章末尾链接到“相关产品”哦~本文转载自:https://u-chuhai.com/?s=seo
2021 Shopify独立站推广引流 获取免费流量方法
2021 Shopify独立站推广引流 获取免费流量方法
独立站的流量一般来自两个部分，一种是付费打广告，另外一种就是免费的自然流量，打广告带来的流量是最直接最有效的流量，免费流量可能效果不会那么直接，需要时间去积累和沉淀。但是免费的流量也不容忽视，第一，这些流量是免费的，第二，这些流量是长久有效的。下面分享几个免费流量的获取渠道和方法。 1.SNS 社交媒体营销 SNS 即 Social Network Services，国外最主流的 SNS 平台有 Facebook、Twitter、Linkedin、Instagram 等。SNS 营销就是通过运营这些社交平台，从而获得流量。 SNS 营销套路很多，但本质还是“眼球经济”，简单来说就是把足够“好”的内容，分享给足够“好”的人。好的内容就是足够吸引人的内容，而且这些内容确保不被人反感；好的人就是对你内容感兴趣的人，可能是你的粉丝，也可能是你潜在的粉丝。 如何把你想要发的内容发到需要的人呢?首先我们要确定自己的定位，根据不同的定位在社交媒体平台发布不同的内容，从而自己品牌的忠实粉丝。 1、如果你的定位是营销类的，一般要在社交媒体发布广告贴文、新品推送、优惠信息等。适合大多数电商产品，它的带货效果好，不过需要在短期内积累你的粉丝。如果想要在短期内积累粉丝就不可避免需要使用付费广告。 2、如果你的定位是服务类的，一般要在社交媒体分享售前售后的信息和服务，一般 B2B 企业使用的比较多。 3、如果你的定位是专业类科技产品，一般要在社交媒体分享产品开箱测评，竞品分析等。一般 3C 类的产品适合在社交媒体分享这些内容，像国内也有很多评测社区和网站，这类社区的粉丝一般购买力都比较强。 4、如果你的定位是热点类的，一般要在社交媒体分享行业热点、新闻资讯等内容。因为一般都是热点，所以会带来很多流量，利用这些流量可以快速引流，实现变现。 5、如果你的定位是娱乐类的：一般要在社交媒体分享泛娱乐内容，适合分享钓具、定制、改装类的内容。 2.EDM 邮件营销 很多人对邮件营销还是不太重视，国内一般都是使用在线沟通工具，像微信、qq 比较多，但是在国外，电子邮件则是主流的沟通工具，很多外国人每天使用邮箱的频率跟吃饭一样，所以通过电子邮件营销也是国外非常重要的营销方式。 定期制作精美有吸引力的邮件内容，发给客户，把邮件内容设置成跳转到网站，即可以给网站引流。 3.联盟营销 卖家在联盟平台上支付一定租金并发布商品，联盟平台的会员领取联盟平台分配的浏览等任务，如果会员对这个商品感兴趣，会领取优惠码购买商品，卖家根据优惠码支付给联盟平台一定的佣金。 二、网站SEO引流 SEO（Search Engine Optimization）搜索引擎优化，是指通过采用易于搜索引擎索引的合理手段，使网站各项基本要素适合搜索引擎的检索原则并且对用户更友好，从而更容易被搜索引擎收录及优先排序。 那 SEO 有什么作用嘛？简而言之分为两种，让更多的用户更快的找到他想要的东西；也能让有需求的客户首先找到你。作为卖家，更关心的是如何让有需求的客户首先找到你，那么你就要了解客户的需求，站在客户的角度去想问题。 1.SEO 标签书写规范 通常标签分为标题、关键词、描述这三个部分，首先你要在标题这个部分你要说清楚“你是谁，你干啥，有什么优势。”让人第一眼就了解你，这样才能在第一步就留住有效用户。标题一般不超过 80 个字符；其次，关键词要真实的涵盖你的产品、服务。一般不超过 100 个字符；最后在描述这里，补充标题为表达清楚的信息，一般不超过 200 个字符。 标题+描述 值得注意的是标题+描述，一般会成为搜索引擎检索结果的简介。所以标题和描述一定要完整表达你的产品和品牌的特点和优势。 关键词 关键词的设定也是非常重要的，因为大多数用户购买产品不会直接搜索你的商品，一般都会直接搜索想要购买产品的关键字。关键词一般分为以下四类。 建议目标关键词应该是品牌+产品，这样用户无论搜索品牌还是搜索产品，都能找到你的产品，从而提高命中率。 那如何选择关键词呢？拿我们最常使用的目标关键词举例。首先我们要挖掘出所有的相关关键词，并挑选出和网站自身直接相关的关键词，通过分析挑选出的关键词热度、竞争力，从而确定目标关键词。 注：一般我们都是通过关键词分析工具、搜索引擎引导词、搜索引擎相关搜索、权重指数以及分析同行网站的关键词去分析确定目标关键词。 几个比较常用的关键词分析工具： （免费）MozBar: https://moz.com （付费）SimilarWeb: https://www.similarweb.com/ 2.链接锚文本 什么是锚文本？ 一个关键词，带上一个链接，就是一个链接锚文本。带链接的关键词就是锚文本。锚文本在 SEO 过程中起到本根性的作用。简单来说，SEO 就是不断的做锚文本。锚文本链接指向的页面，不仅是引导用户前来访问网站，而且告诉搜索引擎这个页面是“谁”的最佳途径。 站内锚文本 发布站内描文本有利于蜘蛛快速抓取网页、提高权重、增加用户体验减少跳出、有利搜索引擎判断原创内容。你在全网站的有效链接越多，你的排名就越靠前。 3 外部链接什么是外部链接？ SEO 中的外部链接又叫导入链接，简称外链、反链。是由其他网站上指向你的网站的链接。 如何知道一个网站有多少外链？ 1.Google Search Console 2.站长工具 3.MozBar 4.SimilarWeb 注：低权重、新上线的网站使用工具群发外链初期会得到排名的提升，但被搜索引擎发现后，会导致排名大幅度下滑、降权等。 如何发布外部链接？ 通过友情链接 、自建博客 、软文 、论坛 、问答平台发布外链。以下几个注意事项： 1.一个 url 对应一个关键词 2.外链网站与自身相关，像鱼竿和鱼饵，假发和假发护理液，相关却不形成竞争是最好。 3.多找优质网站，大的门户网站（像纽约时报、BBC、WDN 新闻网） 4.内容多样性， 一篇帖子不要重复发 5.频率自然，一周两三篇就可以 6.不要作弊，不能使用隐藏链接、双向链接等方式发布外链 7.不要为了发外链去发外链，“好”的内容才能真正留住客户 4.ALT 标签（图片中的链接） 在产品或图片管理里去编辑 ALT 标签，当用户搜索相关图片时，就会看到图片来源和图片描述。这样能提高你网站关键词密度，从而提高你网站权重。 5.网页更新状态 网站如果经常更新内容的话，会加快这个页面被收录的进度。此外在网站上面还可以添加些“最新文章”版块及留言功能。不要只是为了卖产品而卖产品，这样一方面可以增加用户的粘性，另一方面也加快网站的收录速度。 6.搜索跳出率 跳出率越高，搜索引擎便越会认为你这是个垃圾网站。跳出率高一般有两个原因，用户体验差和广告效果差，用户体验差一般都是通过以下 5 个方面去提升用户体验： 1.优化网站打开速度 2.网站内容整洁、排版清晰合理 3.素材吸引眼球 4.引导功能完善 5.搜索逻辑正常、产品分类明确 广告效果差一般通过这两个方面改善，第一个就是真实宣传 ，确保你的产品是真实的，切勿挂羊头卖狗肉。第二个就是精准定位受众，你的产品再好，推给不需要的人，他也不会去看去买你的产品，这样跳出率肯定会高。本文转载自:https://u-chuhai.com/?s=seo
2022，国际物流发展趋势如何？
2022，国际物流发展趋势如何？
受新冠疫情影响，从2020年下半年开始，国际物流市场出现大规模涨价、爆舱、缺柜等情况。中国出口集装箱运价综合指数去年12月末攀升至1658.58点，创近12年来新高。去年3月苏伊士运河“世纪大堵船”事件的突发，导致运力紧缺加剧，集运价格再创新高，全球经济受到影响，国际物流行业也由此成功出圈。 加之各国政策变化、地缘冲突等影响，国际物流、供应链更是成为近两年行业内关注的焦点。“拥堵、高价、缺箱、缺舱”是去年海运的关键词条，虽然各方也尝试做出了多种调整，但2022年“高价、拥堵”等国际物流特点仍影响着国际社会的发展。 总体上来看，由疫情带来的全球供应链困境会涉及到各行各业，国际物流业也不例外，将继续面对运价高位波动、运力结构调整等状况。在这一复杂的环境中，外贸人要掌握国际物流的发展趋势，着力解决当下难题，找到发展新方向。 国际物流发展趋势 由于内外部因素的影响，国际物流业的发展趋势主要表现为“运力供需矛盾依旧存在”“行业并购整合风起云涌”“新兴技术投入持续增长”“绿色物流加快发展”。 1.运力供需矛盾依旧存在 运力供需矛盾是国际物流业一直存在的问题，近两年这一矛盾不断加深。疫情的爆发更是成了运力矛盾激化、供需紧张加剧的助燃剂，使得国际物流的集散、运输、仓储等环节无法及时、高效地进行连接。各国先后实施的防疫政策，以及受情反弹和通胀压力加大影响，各国经济恢复程度不同，造成全球运力集中在部分线路与港口，船只、人员难以满足市场需求，缺箱、缺舱、缺人、运价飙升、拥堵等成为令物流人头疼的难题。 对物流人来说，自去年下半年开始，多国疫情管控政策有所放松，供应链结构加快调整，运价涨幅、拥堵等难题得到一定缓解，让他们再次看到了希望。2022年，全球多国采取的一系列经济恢复措施，更是缓解了国际物流压力。但由运力配置与现实需求之间的结构性错位导致的运力供需矛盾，基于纠正运力错配短期内无法完成，这一矛盾今年会继续存在。 2.行业并购整合风起云涌 过去两年，国际物流行业内的并购整合大大加快。小型企业间不断整合，大型企业和巨头则择机收购，如Easysent集团并购Goblin物流集团、马士基收购葡萄牙电商物流企业HUUB等，物流资源不断向头部靠拢。 国际物流企业间的并购提速，一方面，源于潜在的不确定性和现实压力，行业并购事件几乎成为必然；另一方面，源于部分企业积极准备上市，需要拓展产品线，优化服务能力，增强市场竞争力，提升物流服务的稳定性。与此同时，由疫情引发的供应链危机，面对供需矛盾严重，全球物流失控，企业需要打造自主可控的供应链。此外，全球航运企业近两年大幅增长的盈利也为企业发起并购增加了信心。 在经历两个年度的并购大战后，今年的国际物流行业并购会更加集中于垂直整合上下游以提升抗冲击能力方面。对国际物流行业而言，企业积极的意愿、充足的资本以及现实的诉求都将使并购整合成为今年行业发展的关键词。 3.新兴技术投入持续增长 受疫情影响，国际物流企业在业务开展、客户维护、人力成本、资金周转等方面的问题不断凸显。因而，部分中小微国际物流企业开始寻求改变，如借助数字化技术降低成本、实现转型，或与行业巨头、国际物流平台企业等合作，从而获得更好的业务赋能。电子商务、物联网、云计算、大数据、区块链、5G、人工智能等数字技术为突破这些困难提供了可能性。 国际物流数字化领域投融资热潮也不断涌现。经过近些年来的发展，处于细分赛道头部的国际物流数字化企业受到追捧，行业大额融资不断涌现，资本逐渐向头部聚集，如诞生于美国硅谷的Flexport在不到五年时间里总融资额高达13亿美元。另外，由于国际物流业并购整合的速度加快，新兴技术的应用就成了企业打造和维持核心竞争力的主要方式之一。因而，2022年行业内新技术的应用或将持续增长。 4.绿色物流加快发展 近年来全球气候变化显著，极端天气频繁出现。自1950年以来，全球气候变化的原因主要来自于温室气体排放等人类活动，其中，CO₂的影响约占三分之二。为应对气候变化，保护环境，各国政府积极开展工作，形成了以《巴黎协定》为代表的一系列重要协议。 而物流业作为国民经济发展的战略性、基础性、先导性产业，肩负着实现节能降碳的重要使命。根据罗兰贝格发布的报告，交通物流行业是全球二氧化碳排放的“大户”，占全球二氧化碳排放量的21%，当前，绿色低碳转型加速已成为物流业共识，“双碳目标”也成行业热议话题。 全球主要经济体已围绕“双碳”战略，不断深化碳定价、碳技术、能源结构调整等重点措施，如奥地利政府计划在2040年实现“碳中和/净零排放”；中国政府计划在2030年实现“碳达峰”，在2060年实现“碳中和/净零排放”。基于各国在落实“双碳”目标方面做出的努力，以及美国重返《巴黎协定》的积极态度，国际物流业近两年围绕“双碳”目标进行的适应性调整在今年将延续，绿色物流成为市场竞争的新赛道，行业内减少碳排放、推动绿色物流发展的步伐也会持续加快。 总之，在疫情反复、突发事件不断，运输物流链阶段性不畅的情况下，国际物流业仍会根据各国政府政策方针不断调整业务布局和发展方向。 运力供需矛盾、行业并购整合、新兴技术投入、物流绿色发展，将对国际物流行业的发展产生一定影响。对物流人来说，2022年仍是机遇与挑战并存的一年。本文转载自:https://u-chuhai.com/?s=seo
