SuperSell: Must Have iPhone App a Game-Changer for Sales People
Pinehurst, North Carolina – The Assessment and Development Group International (ADGI) announces the release of SuperSell 1.0, a new app for iPhone and iPod touch users. SuperSell draws heavily from ADGI’s extensive experience in sales force development to help account managers, consultative, and relationship sales people create sales strategies complete with specific tactics tailored to each buyer’s motivation, communication style, and worldview.
Complementing any sales training, SuperSell teaches sales people how to understand and adapt to buyer differences, and how to situationally modify what they say and what they do to best meet the expectations and preferences of each of their buyers. The sales strategies are uniquely generated through the app’s comparative analysis of the traits and behavioral styles of the sales people and their buyers.
Two ADGI proprietary tools, the OMS Questionnaire and the Interaction Style Checklist, power this app. The user completes the OMS Questionnaire as a first step (about 7 or 8 minutes), which generates two comprehensive reports describing the user’s Interaction Style (communication and interpersonal behaviors) and the user’s selling style, including how to leverage that style most advantageously to improve personal performance. The user then completes the very brief IS Checklist on each buyer, creating a report on each buyer’s behavioral style, a strategy report of considerable depth and scope, and a Q & A report addressing additional selling considerations for that buyer.
Users can enter as many buyer contacts as their mobile devices will hold. Contact data can be keyed in manually or pulled from the Contacts app on the phone. Once created, Contact reports are available for review and can be emailed to produce hard copies. A comprehensive tutorial is also provided in SuperSell, which explains how to use the app and the Interaction Style behavioral model in selling interactions.
Designed to help sales people increase sales and earnings and improve personal productivity, SuperSell offers many additional job performance and career benefits:
* SuperSell shortens selling cycles and helps sales people use their time more efficiently
* SuperSell strengthens customer relationships to provide additional protection against competition
* SuperSell builds closer, more long-lasting and more mutually beneficial buyer-seller relationships
In account management and consultative selling, the quality of the sales interaction is the most significant variable affecting sales results. As in so many other things where the devil is in the details, it is the subtleties of how the sales person communicates and behaves that make the difference. SuperSell uncovers these critical subtleties that are so important and presents them in direct, easy-to-read reports that can be reviewed while waiting for a sales appointment.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 1.4 MB
Pricing and Availability:
SuperSell 1.0 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please identify your websites or blog when making a request.

1Password for Mac 3.2.5 Released With Over 10 Fixes and Improvements
Toronto (Ontario, Canada) – 1Password 3.2.5 includes multiple bug fixes and important improvements. These include a change to the auto-submit feature – which fills and submits login forms automatically – to prevent the form from being instantly submitted if it contains a text field, as found in the comment areas of blogs such as The Unofficial Apple Weblog and others. This has been an issue for blog commenters in the past, and Agile Web Solutions is excited to offer a solution to the problem!
1Password 3.2.5 also brings usability and interface enhancements, including a new dialog with instructions for updating the browser plugins when it encounters an unknown version of a browser, such as the recent release of Safari 5. Among other fixes and changes, support for additional HTML5 form fields (url and number) is included, as well as fixes for display issues when re-typing an unlock password over a failed attempt.
What’s New in 1Password 3.2.5:
[NEW] Now displaying upgrade instructions when an unsupported browser version is encountered. I.e. when a new version of Safari is released.
[CHANGED] Now deselecting source list item during global search to make it clear that all item types are being searched.
[CHANGED] Minor log wording change to tell people how to activate extensions if desired. Also using both Console and 1PasswordAgent.log in these situations.
[CHANGED] Now disabling preferences in 1Password > Preferences > Browsers when browser extensions are disabled.
[CHANGED] Improved string validation of object title to eliminate newline characters (including unicode characters).
[CHANGED] Added support for url and number HTML 5 form field types.
[FIXED] Fixed a bug where contentsHash for newly saved logins was calculated incorrectly. In this case, syncing would result in incorrect conflicts being reported.
[FIXED] Improved reliability of bookmarklet creation.
[FIXED] Fixed problem with strong password generator resetting to 50 character long passwords with each use.
[FIXED] Improved performance, fixed some small memory leaks.
[FIXED] Fixed broken Help buttons in Updates and Login Preference panes and added new Help buttons to General, Security, and Browsers panes.
[CHANGED] No longer automatically submitting Logins if the web form has a text area field (for example, to avoid autosubmit on blog comment forms).
[CHANGED] Improved drawing of password text in unlock screen when re-typing over an incorrect password.
[CHANGED] Double clicking a revealed password in 1PasswordAnywhere will no longer select the Hide button. This makes copying easier and more robust as the old way would add the word “Hide” to the end of the copied password.
Pricing and Availability:
A Single User license of 1Password for the Mac is available for $39.95 (USD) and a five user Family License for $69.95 (USD). A fully functioning, 30-day trial of 1Password may be downloaded for free from Agile Web Solutions’ Downloads page. After 30 days, 1Password will continue to run for free, and is limited to 20 items. Special media licenses are available for members of the press and the blogging community upon request. The 3.2.5 update is free to current licensed users of version 3.0 or higher.

GoodReader Reintroduces USB Support to iPhone and iPad Users
Topeka, Kansas – Good.iWare announces a breakthrough development which will bring back the extremely popular feature of transferring files via USB to its GoodReader document viewer for iPhone and iPad. Transferring files via USB was available up until a few months ago when app developers who offered USB support had to discontinue the feature because it was in conflict with the rules of Apple’s iPhone SDK. GoodReaderUSB, which is available to all Mac and Windows users, once again enables users to transfer files via USB – but without violating rules established by Apple.
GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple. This past November, Apple requested developers to remove this capability from their apps and, as a result, GoodReader lost one of its most popular features.
The development team at Good.iWare has been working hard to create a solution that would return this feature to its enormously successful GoodReader app, but without violating the rules of the iPhone SDK Agreement. With the update to GoodReaderUSB for Mac and Windows, it will now transfer files directly into the application’s private storage space (also known as the app’s “sandbox”) and, therefore, avoiding a violation of Apple’s rules.
GoodReaderUSB works similar to transferring files from iTunes to an iPad with its “File Sharing” feature, simply dragging a file with a mouse to the app’s sandbox. However, there are several key differences:
* Unlike with iTunes USB transfer, GoodReaderUSB enables users to browse all of the app’s subfolders
* GoodReaderUSB users can transfer folders as well as files
* GoodReaderUSB works with all eligible devices – iPhone, iPod touch, iPad – with all versions of the iPhone OS starting with 3.0. It also works with all versions of the GoodReader app, including GoodReader for iPad, GoodReader for iPhone, GoodReader Lite for iPhone
This news will enable many GoodReader users, who depended on the USB transfer abilities, to finally upgrade to the latest versions of GoodReader and all of its newest capabilities without losing this important feature.
GoodReaderUSB is available as a free download for Windows and Mac desktops at Good.iWare’s website. GoodReader for iPhone and iPad currently retails for only $.99 in the iTunes App Store.
GoodReader has been an extremely successful app on both the iPhone and iPad. Since the release of the iPad version, GoodReader has achieved #1 in sales in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Spain and many others.
About GoodReader:
GoodReader is known as the top document reader for viewing and navigating large PDF documents on an iPhone and iPad. Besides its text search capability, other key GoodReader features are active hyperlinks, which enable users to more easily navigate within the document or launch a linked document or website, and PDF Reflow. These features make GoodReader an even better choice for those who browse large technical documents.

Arten Science and Blue Spire work together to Protect Client Data
Derbyshire, United Kingdom – Blue Spire LLC as Customers of, and Consultants to, Arten Science have been the first Independent Financial Advisors to take advantage of the customisation offer from Arten Science to implement a secure Consultant to Client solution based on cuteCipher.
Nigel Toplis the head of Blue Spire has been searching and researching for the last couple of years into a method of securely sending information out to his clients.
As an IFA the type of information Blue Spire deal with is of the highest confidentiality and the options to secure this information when sent over email have been limited, not necessarily by the technology, but because a solution wasn’t available that could easily and simply be implemented by Blue Spire and their clients, who may not be particularly literate and could be running either Windows or Macintosh computers.
Arten Science offer a solution to the IFA, Accountants, Realtors and other professionals who deal with clients and have to send them information that is not for public consumption.
A one off payment for a customised and personalised version of cuteCipher gives the professional their own cuteCipher encryption and decryption license as well as a license to distribute the decryption only software to their clients free of charge.
This decryption only software will contain the professionals logo, web links and any other information they require as well as fulfilling the primary function of providing drag and drop decryption of files received from their professional.
Nigel and his team at Blue Spire are now confident that as they roll out this service to their client base, that they are doing everything in their power to ensure that their clients are looked after and protected to the best of their ability. In addition to implementing the cuteCipher solution Blue Spire hired Arten Science to secure all of their computers and laptops, which they have done by encrypting their hard disks using Truecrypt, a fantastic, cross platform, open source full disk encryption solution.
cuteCipher is Cross Platform Encryption that is designed around ease of use. Simply drag your files onto cuteCipher, enter a Secret Word and click the Encrypt button. Now you can make this simple but powerful encryption available to your customers in a customised version for a one off price. Never before has Encryption been this easy and readily accessible. Simple By Design.
If you an Independent Financial Advisor, an Accountant, a Teacher, a Banker, a Broker, a Venture Capitalist or anybody else who handles personal details then you should be encrypting any documents before you send them out. An email is no more secure than a postcard, I for one would not like my Tax Return to be written on a post card …
Arten Science will create a customised version of cuteCipher for you which you can then give out to your customers / recipients for free (or charge them as you see fit). In return you pay Arten Science a one off fee. Your price will differ depending on whether you wish to offer your customers the full Encrypt and Decrypt facilities of cuteCipher or instead you wish to offer them just the Decrypt software, dCipher.
Arten Science realise that we don’t live in a Mac only world, we sometimes have to cross to the dark side. With cuteCipher it doesn’t matter if you are running Windows or Macintosh OSX, or a mixture. cuteCipher just works. Contact us today to see just how inexpensive it would be to secure your clients data. Prices start from £250 ($400, 300 Euro) for a customised version of cuteCipher for in-house use and a customised version of dCipher for up to 100 clients.
