...Sean Quinn LP2 Assignment I have used several Social CRMs. My first experience was when I had used their live chat feature on hotels.com. I was having issues with a hotel I couldn’t go to the hotel but it was past the time frame to cancel the reservation with the hotel. What had happened hotels.com tried to refund me the money but due to the hotels policy they wouldn’t refund me so hotels.com gave me a 25$ coupon to use next time for a hotel credit of my choice to use. Another time I used was with AT&T when I purchased my new phone with them. It was different doing that but it was nice how they where live chatting with me and I could ask them any question about the phone service and they could help assist me. I personally would like to talk to a person at a store or on the phone but I guess it’s nice to have if u likes it like that. There was one other time I used a chat feature with Apple.com I was having issues with my MacBook Pro and it was really nice I had to chat with them for about 40 min and when I was working with them they had the best chat feature it was nice cause they actually got into my computer also. Its strange how technology is now. But when I chatted with them they fixed the issue it took awhile but it got fixed. I had some adware that was locking up my computer and they fixed the issue and it was all solved in about 30 to 40 min. I believe Apple and hotels.com have pretty good chat social CRMs. They work and manage these features vary well I...

...Dynamics CRM CASE 2 VIDEO CASE Systems SUMMARY: Evolution Homecare used Microsoft Dynamics CRM to improve delivery of its home health services. Benefits have included productivity improvements, enhanced inventory management, better resource planning, and more effective reporting.

Additional studies from the IBM Institute for Business Value can be found at ibm.com/iibv Introduction By Carolyn Heller Baird and Gautam Parasnis CEOs, according to the IBM 2010 CEO Study.1 Today’s businesses are fervently building social media programs to do just this. But are customers as enthusiastic? Actually, most do not engage with companies via social media simply to feel connected. It turns out, customers are far more pragmatic. To successfully exploit the potential of social media, companies need to design experiences that deliver tangible value in return for customers’ time, attention, endorsement and data. With the worldwide explosion of social media usage, businesses are feeling extreme pressure to be where their customers are. Today, this hub of customer activity is increasingly virtual, located inside a social media or social networking...

The beneficial part is that you will be saving more money and is cheapest, social part is that it’s for a certain age group where they will get along and can come and do some learning and meeting new people and be able to build up confidence and get involved into new activities. | Findings: In my Findings I have found that each option e.g. Café, Karts and Arts have a lot of sales but overall café has the most of a total of £25.066 which will be very profitable. In the monthly running up costs café and karts have the most expenses for the running costs whereas the Arts have a very cheap running costs with a total of £11.790 so when they are going through all the building and the stock also the insurance and wages and all the other bills will be very cheap because they will have profit of £5.000 every month because of their monthly income whereas café and Karts they will only have a profit of 1 to 2 thousand pound.

...What do we mean at DePaul by a “Socially Responsible Leader”? DePaul’s Vision Twenty12 calls for a special focus on “developing socially-responsible leaders and engaged alumni.” This goal is central to the full expression and realization of our Catholic, Vincentian and urban mission, which challenges us to maintain vigilant attention to the common good and to the sacred dignity of all people, especially the poor and marginalized. The development of socially responsible leaders in today’s complex, global, and ever-changing world requires a commitment to students’ holistic and integrated learning by a community of faculty, staff and University partners who accompany and mentor students on their developmental path. Moreover, it requires that the University community itself embody what it seeks to develop in its students, thus acting as an effective mentoring community and environment. At DePaul, five broad categories have emerged as central to our understanding of socially responsible leadership: 1. Self-Understanding & Personal Integrity Socially responsible leaders have achieved a sense of self-authorship or personal agency. They critically assess and actively discern how their personal gifts, talents, resources, and abilities might best contribute to the broader human community. They articulate and live with a sense of authenticity, purpose, and ethical integrity. They maintain an appreciation for the transcendent dimension of human life, and seek ongoing personal...

...was how we should not get stressed out about classes and what we should take. She said that is what Onestop and our advisors are there for, to help us when we need it. Which Path Do I Take? Exploring The “Fit” of Different Majors The speaker at this event was from the Career Center and his name was Chris Hegg. He talked about RIASEC which is a personality model, and it is an interest inventory tool designed to help match your interests and skills with similar careers. RIASEC stands for realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. The people who are realistic are the “doers”. They like to fix things like cars or like to hunt; they like things that are hands on. The people who are investigative are the thinkers. They like to ask a lot of questions and they may like school because they get to learn new things. Artistic people are the creators they like music, instruments, art, they like to create different things. Social people are the helpers they like to volunteer, or help a...

...salesman is known to be used in conveying social matter on the American society. Death of a salesman shows how the American dream can be harder to achieve than some people expect it to be. Arthur uses time to his advantage as he uses flashbacks to at one point have a conversation with his dead brother of a past conversation that he is showing other people as he is playing cards. They are used to show his brothers success to try and push him in the right direction for willies sake. His sons also go back to see their past and recollect. Gripping with a influence of the past is a theme that all literature has become in modern literature and of Death of a Salesman ("What Literary Devices Does Miller Use In "Death Of A Salesman"?", 2015). The American Dream The American dream in my eyes is for wealth and happiness and many people would have the same dream and thoughts of what the American dream is and how they would precede it. Willy is always looking for a way to fix his sons after their failures and he uses the aspect of foreshadowing to try and show that even with the best of wises there is not always a way to fix problems for people that do not want to be fixed or that cannot fix themselves. Biff and willy also have a different look on the American dream and because he cannot live up to his father standards and expectations it contributes to the breakdown of the family ("Arthur Miller'S Death Of A Salesman Has Been Used To Convey Social Commentary", 2015).

...(4). Nayoya Gymnastic Rings for Full Body Strength and Crossfit Training Earning the trust of the many gymnastics rings lovers for decades isn’t a feat to be rivaled, as exhibited by Nayoya Gymnastic Rings. Apparently, being among the few, best-rated workout rings in a highly competitive wooden gymnastics rings market doesn’t come cheaply. They are easy to mount, great to hold onto, and unquestionably strong. Nayoya Gymnastic Rings possibly belong to a unique group that’s usually sought after by workouts and CrossFit junkies. From the design and the built quality, it’s easy to understand why it is so. Just check out the following features. 1). Material Quality and Design Perhaps, what stands out or the most admired feature with these particular gymnastic rings is the material that they made from. Unlike the others, they’re made out of PC plastic and thus stable and more durable than those made from ABS plastic. Typically, gymnastics rings made using this material are strong enough to withstand 1000+ pounds of weight, and this one is no exception. Another feature that makes the rings even more striking is the ease of holding - they are incredibly easy to grab and hold onto. First, there’s the excellent grip, perfect for preventing slip and fall as a result of sweaty hands. The yellow colored rings are textured, "grippable" and sturdy for all workouts. Being lightweight, another notable feature associated with Nayoya Gymnastic Rings, is for the safety of the user. There’s a...

...January 30, 2009 The End of Solitude By William Deresiewicz What does the contemporary self want? The camera has created a culture of celebrity; the computer is creating a culture of connectivity. As the two technologies converge — broadband tipping the Web from text to image, social-networking sites spreading the mesh of interconnection ever wider — the two cultures betray a common impulse. Celebrity and connectivity are both ways of becoming known. This is what the contemporary self wants. It wants to be recognized, wants to be connected: It wants to be visible. If not to the millions, on Survivor or Oprah, then to the hundreds, on Twitter or Facebook. This is the quality that validates us, this is how we become real to ourselves — by being seen by others. The great contemporary terror is anonymity. If Lionel Trilling was right, if the property that grounded the self, in Romanticism, was sincerity, and in modernism it was authenticity, then in postmodernism it is visibility. So we live exclusively in relation to others, and what disappears from our lives is solitude. Technology is taking away our privacy and our concentration, but it is also taking away our ability to be alone. Though I shouldn't say taking away. We are doing this to ourselves; we are discarding these riches as fast as we can. I was told by one of her older relatives that a teenager I know had sent 3,000 text messages one recent month. That's 100 a day, or about one every 10 waking minutes, morning...

...Penney, (2013) defines “The Biopsychosocial Model” as an approach or method that guides and helps to understand individual’s biological, psychological and social aspects, for example emotions, behaviours and thoughts. Therefore the importance of understanding human health and illness will aid nurses with knowledge of how to provide holistic care. It is a health care model that deals with the clinical care and practical guidance to the patient. Biopsychosocial model show the importance for practitioners to recognise the factors that contribute to biologically, psychologically and socially of different individuals and showing confidence in understanding different aspects of life to encourage elderly client to show their personality, which aids them and keep them in control at different stages of life HEALTH, PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS. (D) Physical Factors The skeletal system of an individual goes through major changes because the musculoskeletal system response slows down due to aging affecting movement and posture, for example loss of calcium from the bone. Banks et al. (2009) stated that mineral density will decrease after menopause. Therefore at this life stage of women they are prone of hip fracture. Ageing affects bones making them weaker and less dense which make them likely to fracture easily, Individuals might find it difficult to lift things and the less dense the bones the less flexible movement becomes because of the weakness...

...take my mind off of some of the hard times we all go through in our lives. Stress can cause health problems or make health problems worse. It can cause unhealthy physical symptoms if it becomes persistent, such as in response to life’s daily challenges and changes. Some people may constantly feel fatigued, unable to focus, or even out of control even if the cause is something minor. Learning how to cope with stress is not only beneficial to my health, but it also helps me manage my life to the point where I am not overworking myself. The article “Coping with Stress” suggests that psychologists have identified three coping methods: Reappraising the situation, learning from the experience, and making social comparisons. In my personal experience, I have used the learning and social aspects. I feel it is important to learn from what you are going through. It builds my confidence, and helps me to understand what’s in front of me. For example, my 4 year old son has been...
