Today's Story Highlights

6 Surefire Ways Etailers Can Boost Customer Loyalty
Given today's data and technological advancements, coupled with an
abundance of choices for consumers, the importance of loyalty has never
been greater. The marketing landscape has shifted as power has moved
from sellers to buyers, and businesses have realized a heightened need
for customer loyalty. Market fragmentation has dramatically increased
competition, magnifying the need for loyalty.

Oracle's Growing Pains
People at Oracle must sometimes feel like they're living in Mark Twain's
reality. After hearing that his obituary had been published in the New
York Journal , Twain published a quip for the ages when he wrote, "The
reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." So too with Oracle. Ever
since its earnings miss for its first fiscal quarter, a chorus of
financial analysts have predicted doom.

At Long Last, Apple Delivers iPhone Batterygate Fix - and Much More
For those of you who have been suffering due to the iPhone's batterygate
problem over the last year, I have great news. Apple finally fixed this
nagging annoyance. Batterygate was a self-inflicted wound for Apple,
caused by a flaw in last year's iOS release, used by tens of millions of
people. The flaw did not affect everyone, but it was a major problem for
many of those who were impacted.

Dreamforce 2018
Salesforce has been very good at skating to where the puck will be, to
paraphrase the great Wayne Gretzky. As a result, the company has a long
line of firsts, beginning with its initial disruption and continuing
through its early adoption of social media and analytics. So it's no
surprise that it is pursuing some very different issues now than it did
almost 20 years ago -- or even five.

5 Reasons the Sales A-Player's Era Is Ending
Sales talent for a long time has been broken up into three groups: A-
players, B-players and C-players. Everyone loves the A-players --
they're the ones who bring home the bacon, after all. The B-players show
promise and, with the right training and motivation, could become A-
players. The C-players? Well the less said, the better. This simplistic
method of segmenting a sales force has worked for decades, but it dates
to a simpler era.
