The Authentic Training Company, experts in retail and sales training, recently provided their take on Apples training along with tips on how to create the perfect sales package. One of the retail sales techniques Biddle claims Apple teaches its salespeople is the ‘Feel, Felt, Found’ approach for overcoming customer resistance. He provides an extract of the technique in use from the Genius Training Student Workbook: “Customer: This Mac is just too expensive. Genius: I can see how you’d feel this way. I felt the price was a little high, but I found its real value because of all the built-in software capabilities.”
Another technique Biddle refers to is the use of neutral language to describe problems and quotes the following examples of words to avoid from Apple’s student workbook a computer stops responding, it doesnt crash; there is a situation as opposed to it has a bug. The differences are subtle, but subconsciously significant. Bug and crash are emotive words, while stops responding and situation are less so. According to Biddle, Apples training also focuses on understanding emotion portrayed through nonverbal gestures, such boredom, openness, suspicion and so on.
Authentic Training company founder Melissa Davies, who has read Biddles synopsis of Apple’s retail sales training says – using empathy to overcome customer resistance through feel, felt and found is nothing new and should be standard in all selling programs. The use of language to influence customer emotions and perceptions, and reading body language to identify buying signals are also well established selling techniques, made popular through the field of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
According to Biddles description of Apple’s training program, where it does seem to differ from other mainstream selling programs is in its focus on relationship selling as opposed to hard selling. If a sales person can establish a relationship first, their focus is on educating and advising which is so much more effective than hard sales techniques. Apple employees are more technology consultants than sales people, and so customers respect them and feel more comfortable buying from them. Theyre getting advice, not a sales pitch.
On the downside, it does appear according to Biddles synopsis, that the program is somewhat prescriptive with very clear rules for customer engagement – the dos and donts. But selling is not a science, its a human interaction. Company founder Melissa Davies says – The danger in making training programs this prescriptive is that sales people focus more on the process theyve been taught to follow, as opposed to understanding and connecting with the customer. Theyre too busy mentally ticking off the rules of selling in their head to form a real connection with the person in front of them. Theyre not tuning into the energy of the customer, theyre not adapting to them they’re play acting to them. But top sellers operate at a higher level of emotional intelligence than this. Their approach is fluid, not prescriptive. Their focus is on making a connection, not following a process and in doing so theyre authentic, and authentic selling is successful selling.
Overall, there doesnt appear to be anything secret’, new or ‘genius’ in Apple’s training, but certainly the focus on consultative selling, as opposed to hard-selling, is a modern approach that customers respond better to.
Authentic Training have launched a retail and sales training package that breaks away from the traditional, restrictive selling models of yesteryear.

Queensland, Australia (PRWEB) October 15, 2012
According to an international survey of 3,500 application developers, 16% more app developers believe that Apples iOS will win the battle over enterprise apps than those who think Android will win. While this is only an opinion poll, the opinions are very educated ones. Also, the results of the survey are very likely to reflect the intentions of app developers to use iOS over Android.
The survey, called the 2Q 2012 Mobile Developer Survey, conducted by international IT research firm International Data Corporation (IDC), also indicated that developers are interested in expanding integration with cloud services, and are curious to see what develops when Microsofts Windows 8 mobile platform is released.
Of those surveyed, 53.2% said they believe that Apples iOS would win, while 37.3% felt that Android would win. This represents significant movement from last years 3Q 2011 survey, in which each company had the confidence of 44% of those polled.
According to IDC Vice President for Mobile and Connected Consumer Platforms, Scott Ellison, For developers, Android appears to be evolving more toward a consumer play, which in turn provides a key competitive opening for Microsoft in the enterprise mobile app space. This perception is one of many that affected the results of the survey. There were many other factors cited by the respondents of the survey. The majority of those in favour of Apple cited the current domination of Apples iPad in the apps market.
Another issue for many was the perceived fragmentation of the Android market, with numerous companies making what seem to be myriad Android devices. The sheer number of manufacturers and different devices increases the likelihood that an app could fail on one companys device. This, in turn, erodes the confidence in app developers that they will get a favourable return on their investments.
Another factor is Android malware. Apple seems to have the same exemption from malware in the mobile device world that it does in the computer world. Meanwhile, Android seems to be the favourite target for hackers and malware perpetrators. Androids only good news from this survey is that interest in their devices from developers seems to have stabilised this year, rising a surprising 2.9%.
The other finding that holds the most ramifications and consequences for the mobile app industry is that 83% of developers are committed to using cloud services and developing back end cloud solutions. This is the same as last years survey, but still an indication that apps developers need to start integrating cloud services with their apps soon.
Craig Aitken, Owner and Director of SmarterApps, says the information in the survey agrees with what his company has experienced in their interaction with app developers: Among apps developers, the confidence level seems to be a lot higher for Apple and iOS. Developers seem to have doubts and questions about creating Android apps right now, but nobody coming to us for an iOS app is lacking in confidence.
Aitken continued, The bottom line is that Apple is on top right now. Android could fight back with their Nexus 7, and the Windows 8 devices on the horizon are definitely intriguing, but Apples iOS is a known quantity right now.
Aitken concluded, Money doesnt lie, and the majority of apps developers are putting their money on Apple and iOS.

The professional’s secret to window covering ideas
A window covering idea is not just as easy as hanging some attractive curtains. The window covering should be designed so that the proportions balance the room. If an element in the design is not the right size it will throw the entire effect of the window treatment off. In order to plan a balanced window covering idea there are a few basic principles that relate with space that you have to understand. The principles will include balance, line, proportion, scale, rhythm and harmony. Your proportions and scale in the window covering work hand in hand. The scale is how the size of all the other things in the room and the proportion is the relationship of the objects and parts to each other based on size. For example your window size and how proportional it is to the size of your room. A good over all scale will be achieved if all the window fixtures are proportioned right and relative to one another as well as to the wholes rooms theme. Sometimes a window treatment will be too large or maybe too small for the location. Careful planning of your window covering idea and a deliberate effort will help this and you will achieve an overall custom window covering that is well proportioned and will complete the room’s window covering design effect.
Color, Pattern, Texture, window covering ideas
To coordinate your window covering and the rest of the theme and elements of the room, you must consider the texture, pattern and color and how to best use them so that your window treatment will blend in or maybe stand out in the background. The choice of colors and patterns along with textures can alter the way you are covering the manufactures window by having them appear smaller or larger depending with the scale of your design and the hues intensity. Texture is the subset of the elements and will add complexity by use of fabrics with coarse, matte, glossy or smooth weaves.
How to choose window covering colors
Window treatments that are designed to blend into the room will give you a serene ambiance. To blend and stay low key choose colors and fabric that match the walls exactly. By choosing cool and warm colors you can crate the way a window treatment will be perceived. Warm colors with sunny hues will seem to be closer together and will give the room an intimate flavoring. The cool tones along with neutral colors will make your room recede and will help open up a smaller room. If you use a less intense color variation you will reduce the affect that it will have to advance or recede your room.
How to choose window covering patterns
To enhance your window covering, patterned fabric is the easiest and most popular way to do this because patterns are a major vehicle for color. Using the rules for color selection will effectively make the field smaller when you select a pattern or a few complements of patterns. A window covering pattern with a large scale and using a warm color, will make it appear as though the pattern is coming towards you. This may create a stimulating and lively window treatment. A large space may feel cozier. If you have a small space to work with be careful in using a large scale pattern or it may over power the room. A small scale window pattern will make things appear to recede. For instance it will make a small room appear larger. But in a large room the small pattern may be bland. If you are going to use a small window covering pattern in a large room, pick the one that has some vibrant colors. Following some of these tips, you will have a custom window covering that looks like it was designed by a professional.

With the economy in the worst shape it has been in for some time, people from all industries are scrambling to find a new way to make money. While most people around the world have access to the internet and use it on a regular basis, it is amazing how few of people actually take advantage of the wide array of opportunities there are available to make money online.
It is important to note there are just as many scams as there are legitimate opportunities to choose from. A lot of courses and programs will tell you how much money can be made and how easy it is, but leave you high and dry after selling you.
Fortunately, there are some programs that actually care about others on the internet. One such program that can actually help you make money online instantly is the Google Secret Loophole. The creator of the system, Matt Benwell, will take you by the hand and guide you to success through step-by-step training.
It is encouraging to join a program under someone who has gone through and faced the same struggles you have. As with many other entrepreneurs, Matt started out in the business world with a job in finance and in debt so much that he could hardly afford anything.
Tired of leading a desperate lifestyle, he turned to the internet hoping to strike gold. After searching through countless scams and get rich quick schemes, he finally decided to develop his own system to benefit from. After a few months of development, he created the perfect solution for many with the Google Secret Loophole. Instead of throwing thousands of dollars away searching for the ideal program, he now earns over $ 20,000 per month.
So what does this mean to you? He is releasing the proven techniques that earn him a six-figure annual income and you do not even have to go through the struggles of developing a thing like he did.
The creator of any product is going to tell you it is the most amazing opportunity available. To truly find out what to expect, you need to hear it from prospects and previous customers. You will quickly find out that this is the program you have long been looking for. Within a few hours you can be on your way to managing a site and earning a great deal of money.
The problem with most programs on the internet is that there is little to no guidance whatsoever. With Google Secret Loophole, you will receive step by step video tutorials and amazing software that cost over $ 8,000 to develop.
Now is the time to stop searching and start earning. The only way to make your dreams come true is to act on the rare opportunities like this that arise seldom.

By now I think most people in the world are online or have access to the internet. What most don’t know is that there is a huge amount of income to be made!
For those that are aware of this, you’ll know that most courses and products for sale only offer the theory behind this. They don’t offer to show you how to actually set up and make money online INSTANTLY.
However now you are about to receive the full solution you desire! This step by step training is brought to you courtesy of Matt Benwell. He is the creator of a system called Google Secret Loophole.
Now Matt only started earning money online in mid 2007. Previously he had a job in finance and was in so much debt that he couldn’t afford to buy or do anything. However, Matt was desperate to get out of this situation.
He had tried every hair brained “get rich quick” schemeout there that the guru’s were pushing.
The results…well they weren’t good!
After months of losing money he decided enough was enoughand started developing his own formula.
It took a few months until it was prefected but Matt now earns over $ 20,000 per month using his INSTANT profit formula.
And now there’s good news…Matt is releasing hisproven techniques to a select few…the places arelimited, so you need to get in quick.
Now I’m a member of this site and let me tell you, it’s amazing. I was struggling to make any money online and was ready to give it all up. But I thought I’d give it one last chance and give Matt’s Google Secret Loophole a go.
I’ve only being using it for a few weeks and have alreadymade more money from using this method from Matt’s site, than I have in 4 years trying to use other online make money products. Using this site I easily set up my own income stream and started seeing a return with a few hours.
One thing that may put a few of you off is that Matt isn’t a professional speaker. He’s just a normal guy from the UK.
Other than the great step by step video tutorials, he’s alsooffering some amazing software that has cost him over$ 8,000in development. This software is amazing and makes the processrun like clockwork. This finally gives people like you and me the package and solution we desire.
Google Secret Loophole is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 5, 2006
Potion Factory is pleased to announce the release of Podcast Maker version 1.2, a tool that takes the geekery out of publishing a professional podcast. Designed to be easy to use, and yet powerful, Podcast Maker is a compelling alternative to the poorly regarded iWeb when it comes to podcasting.
With an understated Mac simplicity, Podcast Maker handles all the essential steps of publishing a professional podcast. It creates a fully iTunes and RSS 2.0 compliant podcast feed; it embeds id3 and atom metadata tags into media files for such things as album art; it uploads only the necessary files to an ftp, sftp, or a .Mac account; and then it pings servers such as those at Apples iTunes Music Store to publicize the update. All of these steps, if done separately require at least 5 separate apps and 30 minutes out of a busy schedule. Podcast Maker cuts that down to 1 app and 3 minutes.
Furthermore, Podcast Maker creates enhanced podcasts. An enhanced podcast, introduced by Apple with iTunes 4.9, contains chapters that make navigating through long podcasts bearable. Additionally chapters can contain images and links that the audience can interact with, creating a much more pleasant experience. A good example of an enhanced podcast is Adam Christiansons MacCast. Podcast Maker is the only program in existence that can edit existing enhanced podcasts, making it a perfect companion to the new GarageBand 3.
All of these features are important, but the must-see feature of Podcast Maker, according to many of its users, is its user interface. The innovative design has all the advantages of an easy to use wizard, but not its major disadvantage: the blister on your index finger you get from clicking repeatedly. The interface guides the user what to do next, but does it in a way that doesnt treat the user as a sea urchin.
Although never previously publicized, Podcast Maker has already received some honors and high acclaims. Within a day of a quiet launch, Podcast Maker was featured at Apples Mac OS X Downloads page as the main item, beating popular programs such as Mozilla Firefox in the number of downloadsa testament to the peoples need for an easy to use podcasting tool. In October of 2005, it has received a perfect 10 out of 10 rating from Macsimum News, and most recently, it has repeated this rare feat with a 5 out of 5 mice rating at Macworld.
According to the research firm eMarketer, podcasting has seen meteoric growth last year, and in just 4 years from now, the size of the podcast audience is projected to be somewhere between 20 to 80 million people. In iTunes, there are now so many podcasts that if you try to browse them all, you crash iTunes. Call it narrowcasting, citizen journalism, or whatever you like, but it is obvious that podcasting is here to stay in a big way. Podcast Maker lowers the entry barrier so that regular folks can join the revolution.
A fully functional 30-day trial is available at the Potion Factory website, http://www.potionfactory.com. Podcast Maker sells for $ 29.95 and can be purchased securely at the same website.
A video tutorial that shows how to publish a podcast from start to finish in less than 3 minutes is also available at the website.

ABOUT POTION FACTORY: Potion Factory, founded in 2005, is a partnership between Jin Kim and Andy Kim, two switchers who fell in love with the Mac OS X so much that they decided to make a business out of writing software for it. Since then Potion Factory has dedicated itself to developing simple and elegant software that only %5 of all computer users would understand.
