¿Qué nos piden?
MyBestPlay, red social para jugadores, clubs y representantes deportivos necesita incrementar el número de jugadores que comienzan el proceso de registro, por lo tanto, incrementar la conversión de su formulario de registro.
Antecedentes
A través de las siguientes fuentes de información hemos revisado la documentación del modelo de negocio original, el financiamiento a través de convenios publicitarios y el lanzamiento de la consultora Metriplica en el 2009.

Métricas
La dramática caída del nivel de usuarios al cabo de casi cinco años sumado al incremento sostenido en el porcentaje de rebote ha impactado el nivel de conversión ya bajo de 1.06% promedio del periodo a 0.16% en el último mes.
En el mismo periodo de análisis comprobamos la correlación lógica y natural entre la caída del número de usuarios con la caída de las sesiones.
Y dentro de este contexto la comparación entre sesiones totales y nuevas confirma que la pérdida de usuarios recurrentes ha sido sistemática y continua llegando a perder en el periodo indicado el 98% de estos usuarios (si fueran ventas sería pérdida del 98% de ingresos). El Churn o índice de pérdida de usuarios recurrentes se apoya con los altos índices de rebote
51.89% en los nuevos visitantes vs
22.19% en los recurrentes.
Otra muestra del deterioro de la activación, conversión y retención es la caída a la tercera parte la duración media de la sesión de 9 a 3 minutos, demostrando el grado de desinterés hacia el contenido e interacción de la web.
Analizando el desglose de contenido del sitio tenemos que las rutas /jugadores/ en todos los idiomas superan el 60% de rebote como promedio de todo el periodo y llegan a 65% sólo en el último mes. En cuanto a la velocidad del sitio es necesario optimizarla con las siguientes medidas: Especificar caché de navegado, Eliminar el
JavaScript que bloquea la visualización y el CSS del contenido de la mitad superior de la página, Optimizar imágenes, Minificar CSS, Minificar HTML y Reducir el tiempo de respuesta del servidor.
A pesar de la situación descrita se detecta la oportunidad de mercado por la tenencia creciente de los móviles (Tablet y

Smartphone) en los mercados objetivo caso España 70%, Argentina y Brasil por encima de 40%. Según GA el acceso de móviles a la web de mybestplay es de sólo
5.52% en el periodo acumulado pero si observamos la data de los últimos 17 meses es de 26%, de los últimos 7 meses alcanza a 35% y de los últimos 21 días es 40.16%.
Se observa un crecimiento espectacular por tanto, el potencial es enorme especialmente por el grupo objetivo deportista joven de 18 a 24 años, usuario “heavy”
(lo que si habría que tener en consideración es el % de rebote en estos dispositivos ya que es el doble que en el desktop 60% vs 40%).
Por otro lado, si evaluamos el tráfico según la fuente Alexa.com al día
20/7 la página mybestplay se ubica en el puesto 1Millon y su competidor deportesygestion.com puesto 4millones (ref. Google y
Amazon se ubican en el puesto 1 y 4 respectivamente). Además, el ratio de rebote es de 56% vs su competidor 70% (Google 16.1% y Amazon 27.8%). En relación a las visitas diarias es 3.1 vs.1.7 y el tiempo medio de visita en la página es más del doble que su competidor 2.28 vs 0.52. El total de sitios que hacen referencia a la página es 118 vs 29 y el tráfico que viene de un motor de búsqueda es 60% vs 10% para cada una de las páginas.
Asimismo, si comparamos la presencia en los buscadores observamos que en Google la diferencia es notoriamente superior a favor de Mybestplay con 323,000 resultados versus 32,500 de deportesygestion.com (en
Yahoo es 23,100 vs 7,120). Sólo
HowSociable.com valora con una magnitud de 4.5 a su competidor vs 1.9 de
Mybestplay y la reconoce como la más activa. Concluimos que la actividad del líder del sector Mybestplay en redes sociales es pasiva y desactualizada. La cantidad de resultados en Google y redes sociales son residuales de la campaña inicial y en algunos casos presenta información de uno o dos años atrás que incide en la percepción de la marca. En concreto ha quedado “suspendida en el tiempo”.
Análisis del modelo de negocio según el método Canvas
Drivers de Evaluación

Propuestas y Observaciones

Clientes: Los grupos de personas a los cuales se quieren ofrecer el producto/servicio. Son la base del negocio, así que se deben conocer perfectamente



Propuesta de valor: Trata del
“pain statement” que solucionamos para el cliente y cómo le damos respuesta con los productos y/o servicios la iniciativa. Explica el producto/servicio que se ofrece a los clientes.












Canales de distribución: Se centra en cómo se entrega la propuesta de valor a los clientes (a cada segmento).
Es Determinar cómo comunicarnos, alcanzar y entregar la propuesta de valor a los clientes.






No observamos que exista un política de relacionamiento (CRM) con sus clientes (reps, club y jugadores) que permita procesar un aprendizaje continuo y conocerlos perfectamente.
Oportunidad de desarrollar un modelo CRM pero implica inversión en recursos lo cual no parece ser el objetivo de los accionistas.
Alternativa de re-definir el modelo de negocio de contactos de acuerdo a los recursos escasos (tiempo, dedicación, prioridad e inversión). Resultados actuales absolutamente negativos. Modelo a proponer: registro a través de web, compartir contactos con web móvil, FB y
Twitter, testimoniando beneficios para recuperar credibilidad y misión de promover la contactabilidad entre sus socios.
Solucionar la calidad de la accesibilidad (activación) y alto rebote, el lay out, el responsible design (error 404) y el contenido debido a que la situación actual no es viable para anunciadores. El dolor a solucionar es cumplir con la contactabilidad, constituirse en un verdadero Network de usuarios deportivos profesionales. Necesidad de reposicionar el producto o servicio totalmente. El posicionamiento actual de “líder” no refleja la misión. Creo que el concepto de Promotor de contactos deportivos profesionales es más cercano al nuevo reposicionamiento requerido porque se concentraría en ello: promover la contactabilidad entre sus socios.
La web móvil debe facilitar el acceso de contacto y permitir la interacción permanente como muestra de resultados tangibles.
Debe bajarse la barrera de entrada para contactarse disminuyendo los pasos de registro y fundamentalmente potenciar las comunicaciones entre los contactos (verdadera misión mostrando ejemplos de “contacto en línea” y cantidad en números en línea.

Relaciones con los clientes: uno de los aspectos más críticos en el éxito del modelo de negocio y uno de los más complejos de tangibilizar.
Existen diferentes tipos de relaciones que se pueden establecer son segmentos específicos de clientes.



Fuentes de ingresos:
Representan la forma en que en la empresa genera los ingresos para cada cliente. La obtención de ingresos puede ser directa o indirecta, en un solo pago o recurrente.



Recursos claves: Se describen los recursos más importantes necesarios para el funcionamiento del negocio, así como tipo, cantidad e intensidad. •


Actividades clave: Para entregar la propuesta de valor se deben desarrollar una serie de actividades claves internas
(procesos de producción, marketing...). •

Alianzas Claves: Se definen las alianzas necesarias para ejecutar el modelo de negocio con garantías, que complementen las capacidades y optimicen la propuesta de valor: la cocreación es imprescindible hoy en día en los negocios









Alianzas con Clubes son impresionables
Alianzas con las federaciones o asociaciones nacionales para ser incluidos como promotores de ese deporte asimismo, para usufructuar la lista de los Agentes o
Representante oficiales de cada entidad deportiva o los eventos a lo largo del año
Asociaciones de jugadores y clubes deportivos regionales.
Marcas deportivas o no deportivas con interés en la base de datos.
Comité olímpico de cada país
Universidades y escuelas con fomento al deporte

Estructura de costes:
Describe todos los costes en los que se incurren al operar el modelo de negocio. Se trata de conocer y optimizar las costes para intentar diseñar un modelo de negocio sostenible, eficiente y escalable. •





Hosting y rediseño de web anual como gasto fijo.
Mantenimiento y desarrollo de actividades de información y promoción.
Social Manager y Servicio al Cliente.
Gerenciamiento y estructura administrativa
Licencias de BI y solución adhoc.













Al margen de la segmentación propia en los tipos de clientes (jugadores, reps, club) es necesario establecer un modelo de diferenciación de clientes transversal. Es decir, tomando como base la contactabilidad, el logro de uno o más objetivos de contrato, el tiempo de afiliado establecer tres niveles: básico (primer contacto hasta 1 año de afiliado), potencial
(lo básico + cierre formal de un contrato) y referente (lo anterior más impacto en prensa o medios deportivos).
Cada segmento tendría su política de relacionamiento establecida o niveles de atención.
Para el caso de un potencial un publirreportaje en la web y circulación en medios sociales y en la base de registros de Clubes o reps.
Generando la demanda adecuada como centro de contactos los auspiciadores vendrán solos!. Ya que se constituiría como un red tipo “Linked In deportiva”
Concretamente, a través de inbound marketing a la red (comerciales, correos, SMS, etc.)
Auspiciadores co-presentando los casos de éxito de la semana
Presentando juegos Gamming con estímulo de premios, con el deporte asociado de cada usuario y Banners de sección interna en la web.
Testimoniales reforzando la credibilidad con lideres de opinión
Humanos y Técnicos: Analista y diseñador web como staff permanente
Herramientas de BI y programación de algoritmos para detectar y propiciar proactivamente contacto entre usuarios y fomentar el network.
Personal dedicado. Se observa que la tendencia a la baja pudiera ser simplemente por tiempo de dedicación.

Marketing (análisis y diseño de web, editor de noticias y preparación de campañas, contacto con alianzas)
Analítica Web
Negociador con Proveedores y contactos.

Hipótesis y Alternativas a ser probadas
No es una situación coyuntural, que implique cambios “superficiales”, sino un problema estructural en todo el ecosistema digital del servicio ofrecido. Lo que implica revisar el modelo de negocio que sustente el reposicionamiento del producto en forma integral.
Deben evaluarse cambios en el contenido, en el lay out, en el posicionamiento web, en la estrategia de contacto directo con los clientes vía Twitter, Facebook y Web Mobile entre otros. Con el objetivo de recuperar la cantidad de usuarios, bajar el rebote especialmente de nuevos usuarios que tienen acceso vía móviles, mejorar el contenido, promover el registro y el ingreso a través de un formulario simple, aumentar los usuarios recurrentes, incrementar el tiempo de vista, medir el crecimiento en el acceso por móviles, incrementar la contactabilidad y difusión sistemática en redes sociales.

...The Girl Scouts of Central Texas was pleased to welcome the National CEO of Girl Scouts, Anna Maria Chavez on October 2nd, 2015. A veteran of Girl Scouts since the age of ten, Mrs. Chavez knows it all begins with a friendly smile and a drive to excel. Her visit to the Bryan Scout house, a lovely stone building built in the 1930s, couldn’t have had better Texas fall weather. There was a cool breeze and the sun shone softly as she gave exclusive interviews to This was also a wonderful opportunity for some local Girl Scouts to share about their own active pursuit of learning and community enrichment. The CEO was cheerful and dignified as ever as she shook hands with the bright eyed scouts. She was particularly excited to meet with a Girl Scout who is the first of her family to graduate high school and enter into higher education. Anna Maria’s visit to Texas included Honoring Cari Baker Wells. Cari is a law firm executive whose community service includes raising over a million dollars for San Antonio public schools. She also served as president of the 12th Man Foundation and led projects such as the design and completion of Kyle Field’s successful Zone Club. Wells of class 1984 received the highest honor bestowed upon a former student: Distinguished Alumni of Texas A&M University. Each of these women are striking figures who inspire and encourage.

Are Ceos Overpaid?

...CEO Compensation: A Display of Obscenity For years, the great debate over whether or not CEOs are overpaid has raged on. Some studies show that the average CEO in the US was paid $10 million to $15 million 2005[1]. Proponents argue that this level of compensation (compensation is the total amount of remuneration received by an employee, including salary, stock options, etc.) is necessary to obtain and retain the world’s greatest leaders, whole opponents argue the exorbitant amounts aren’t justified. However, in a world where economies are hurting, it’s hard to justify why CEO compensation is rising, and fast. While CEOs are hard-working, intelligent leaders who’ve worked up to their position, the rising levels of CEO compensation are unreasonable and almost unethical given the current state of the world economy. To put it simply, CEOs are accountable for the performance of their company, but in the end they are still managers. It is important that as a society, CEO compensation is better controlled and more reasonably determined. The high CEO compensation that exists today outlines the disparity of income between CEOs and their workers. CEOs pulling in millions while their workers struggle to get by is increasingly becoming an issue. A CEO working for a Fortune 50 company makes 213 times the average worker[2]. For instance, the CEO of Walmart pulls in $16,270,000 while the median worker makes just $22,700[3]. One of the worst CEO-to-worker pay ratios is found at UnitedHealth...

Ceo Compensation

...The Debate over CEO Compensation Analyzing Managerial Decisions: The Debate over CEO Compensation 1. Do you think the fact that most American CEOs are paid so much more than rank-and-file employees suggests CEOs are overpaid? Explain. I do not believe that just because American CEOs are paid much more than rank-and-file employees suggest that they are overpaid. Many CEOs whose salaries and compensation packages are discussed in the news are the CEOs from the largest American corporations and likely do not represent the average American CEO. Also, many times when CEO payouts are discussed in the news it is not a one year payout but instead a multi-year payout. Plus, many companies need to pay high salaries and incentives to attract successful CEOs from other companies. This alone drives the overall salary and compensation packages for CEOs but does not necessary point to them being overpaid. 2. Japanese CEOs generally receive much lower levels of compensation than CEOs in the United States. Does this imply that U.S. CEOs are overpaid? I do not believe that just because Japanese CEOs receive much lower salaries than United States CEOs implies that they are overpaid. I worked for Honda and one item that I learned in the past years is that there are large differences between the American and Japanese cultures. The Japanese very much frown upon employees that leave their companies. Japanese employees barely ever transfer companies unlike American...

...Shareholders Watchdog, Inc. 777 Wall Street New York, NY 10005 December 7, 2011 RE: Is CEO Compensation Fair? Dear employee, Accompanying this letter is our completed report that discusses the issue of the fairness of current CEO compensation. Although there are two sides of this argument, recent legislation and regulations for reform tend to support those who believe it is unfair. We have evaluated the current standards of CEO compensation and examined why both sides think they should prevail. There are some advantages that strongly support CEO’s huge salaries, including the following: * Provides incentives and motivates the CEO to obtain or surpass corporate objectives * Retains key-value leaders for the long-term, resulting in consistent corporate success * Creates a strong CEO confidence for him/her to reinvest in the corporation (bonds) Our overall research indicates that CEO compensation does not reflect actual performance in most cases. Many CEO’s are grossly over compensated (including stock options, bonuses, hedge funds, and other benefits). The “Golden Parachute” guarantee adds insult to injury. Based on our research, conducted from the UNLV Library periodicals database and online sources, we recommend the following: * Require corporations to adhere to sections 951, 953, 955 and 956 of the Dodd-Frank Bill * Maintain a collective (“Esprit de corps”) work force environment for all employees * Consult third party professional...

Ilagan Everest University Online Abstract This paper is an analysis of a real world case as it relates to the learning about managing misbehavior. The Case 8.1, “The (Mis) Behavior of Successful CEOs Leads to Their Departures,” requires answers to the following questions: • “To what degree do you believe the behaviors of the featured CEOs constituted "misbehavior" and that reactions of the boards were correct?” (Ivancevich, J.M., Konopaske, R., & Matteson, M.T., 2014). • “If you were on a board of directors, what factors would you consider in the selection of a CEO to limit the potential of this type of misbehavior?” (Ivancevich, et al, 2014). • All three of the CEOs in the case were given large severance packages.  What message does this send to future CEOs of these companies?  If you were on the board of directors, would you endorse such severance packages?  What is the cost of not granting a competitive severance package?

...Market Leader Issue 27, Winter 2004 www.warc.com What Do CEOs Want From Marketing? Anthony Freeling McKinsey Fiona Stewart Antennae Fran Cassidy The Cassidy Media Partnership Top of the CEO agenda is the need to deliver consistent top-line growth within an existing business portfolio, rather than from a continued reliance on acquisition. This objective was identified from our research into the opinions of CEOs and CMOs and highlights the importance of good marketing in running a successful company. We identified five consistent themes and these were: strong brands as a significant asset; more effective use of consumer data; the role of innovation, the need for better implementation and continued focus on business efficiency. Each area has significant implications for the role of the marketing function. Brands as a company asset In an increasingly clamorous society with a proliferation in the sheer volume of offerings, strong brands are significant assets in enabling companies to compete effectively. The challenges are building and maintaining brand equity by keeping brands refreshed and relevant and restoring trust in brands, particularly in sectors under attack from regulatory or consumer groups. Fmcg businesses typically have a strong brand focus across the organisation, but there is no room for complacency. Here, the main challenge is optimising resource allocation. As a result, a number of CEOs and CMOs talked about further rationalisation of the brand portfolio so that...

Are Ceos Overpaid

...Are Over the past 15 to 20 years more and more CEOs have been scrutinized and the typical CEO's pay is largely driven by market factors. CEOs pay is strongly related to stock performance. Because of more bureaucracy, the CEO's job has become increasingly more difficult over the past decade. In fact some would even argue that they are not paid enough and should be paid more. CEOs are being scrutinized more than ever. Some have taken on a celebrity persona such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Jack Welch. The fact of the matter is their pay is driven by market forces. You don't really hear of athletes being scrutinized like CEOs. However, since the collapse of companies such as Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco, their exposure has put them in the forefront of our society. CEOs are not unique. Other industries with similar backgrounds have earned just as well in the last decade. This includes top lawyers, athletes and top financial executives. Kaplan contends that it would be difficult to understand how pay increase could be driven by non-market forces when pay to athletes, lawyers and other groups have increased just as much. Their pay is strongly related to stock performance. Kaplan's recent analysis of CEO pays in a given year found that CEOs in the top 20% of actual pay generate stock returns 60% greater. This is greater than other firms in their industries over the past three years. In addition, CEOs from firms in the bottom 20% of actual pay underperformed...

Jesus Ceo

...Jesus CEO Introduction There are many different characteristics that are talked about in the book “Jesus, CEO”. The three leadership techniques that are discussed are: strength of self-mastery, strength of self-action, and strength of relationships. There are a variety of different characteristics from each leadership technique that stood out to me about being an effective leader in the 21st century. Strength of self-mastery Strength of self-mastery focuses on internal motivators that allow us to influence others. Self-mastery is a test of our character. There are 5 characteristics which stood out to me about Jesus that would contribute to an effective leader in the 21st century. 1. He believed in himself. Jesus was one of the most confident people that ever lived. He never lacked confidence in himself or his abilities. Jesus’ belief in himself was an aspect of self-mastery. This instilled confidence in followers but also allowed him to relate to others. Believing in yourself in the 21st century is an important characteristic to have because if you don’t believe in yourself then nobody will believe in you. Effective leaders believe in themselves and are good at getting other people to believe in them. 2. He did the difficult things. Jesus did not worry about public opinions or the feelings of others, but he made decisions based on what was necessary. Professionals stay focused on their mission and do the difficult things. Whether it’s doing...
