Since 1991, the Dummies book series has offered a variety of how-to guides for DIY enthusiasts, playing host to a wide array of titles in a variety of professions. With more than 2,500 titles, it makes you wonder how calling your reader a dummy could be so successful. I know the first time I spotted a Dummies book at the mall, I immediately took offense. I thought, “How dare they assume I’m a dummy?!”
Looking back, I have a theory as to what makes this seeming faux pas so successful: Unlike many self-help books, the Dummies series offers a symbiotic relationship between the writer’s professional understanding and the reader’s vulnerability. Dummies breaks down solutions bit by bit, creating a welcoming space where readers without a lick of knowledge can learn at their own pace.
When it comes to spearheading an Oracle Eloqua implementation at your company, we know it can feel daunting. Rather than shy away, this is the time to grab your version of a Dummies book – your very own Oracle Eloqua Implementation Partner.
Before those of us at Relationship One knew the lingo, understood the acronyms and became experts on Oracle Eloqua, we all were vulnerable and new to the practice. By banding together with others who were already experts, we could learn without fear. Whether it was a seasoned consulting mentor or a senior-level executive, our learning was heavily influenced by our Relationship One circle.
Is there an Oracle Eloqua expert in your circle? Do they have a veteran team to back them up?
Standing up an Oracle Eloqua instance is hard. There are many stakeholders to consider, business processes to review and decisions to be made.

It’s a step-by-step guide, a process clear in approach, carried out by a professional subject matter expert who has learned from experience.
Our goal is to focus on the necessities, inform you on every aspect of the system, and ask strategic questions about your specific processes – without burying you in minutiae.
Don’t go it alone. Reach out to our circle, call on the experts, and be willing to be vulnerable within Oracle Eloqua.
