                	Sales Genius 2000
			Version 3.0 
			Build 99.1250.09

This is a 60-day evaluation version of Sales Genius. All abilities of the program are available. Nothing is left out. After 60 days, Sales Genius will no longer function. Although the program is no longer functional, the data you record into Sales Genius is your data. Before you uninstall Sales Genius, if you wish, we will print out the data for your records. We charge $25 for that service including shipping, postage and handling. Once Sales Genius is uninstalled or deleted, your data is un-recoverable. 

If you wish to continue to use Sales Genius, you must pay for the first year SUPPORT AGREEMENT (see Registration below).

We hope you find Sales Genius a "just what I needed" solution to help you sell more and more often.

Definition of Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are required to register it (or purchase the licensed version as in the case of Sales Genius).

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like retail authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's retail or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

IV. Registration

When Sales Genius is run for the first time, you will need to complete the Registration window. It is important to complete this registration completely and accurately. Sales Genius will use the registration information to format printed materials that will be seen by customers. 

When finished filling out the information on the Registration window, you may either e-mail or snail mail the registration form to Sales Genius. Our short-term goal is to have a website available for registered users. The website will have special information, and instant access to updated materials. Our current website is www.salesgenius.homepage.com . Visit the site often to keep up on changes.

V. Pricing

Sales Genius is priced a little differently than other software. We do NOT sell the Sales Genius program. Rather, we license the software to the user FREE on an annual basis with a paid SUPPORT AGREEMENT. The SUPPORT AGREEMENT fee entitles the user to one full year of use and support, including all updates, bug fixes and patches. Further, the SUPPORT AGREEMENT allows the user to have a "voice" in the future direction and evolution of the program. As the number of users grow, and revenue is increased, more and more features and benefits will be added to the software, based on user input. 

1. First year SUPPORT AGREEMENT and FREE license $65 US
2. Following years each $199 US

This is a business expense. Consult your tax advisor for details. In some cases Uncle Sam will save you as much as 40% of the costs.

We think Sales Genius is much more than just a computer software product. Sales Genius is an invaluable resource to help sales professionals make more sales. We further think that when used diligently, Sales Genius will MORE THAN PAY FOR ITSELF each year in increased commissions. 

 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

VI. Transfer of License

The support agreement and license IS TRANSFERRABLE to another person or company. For example a user may have a substantial customer following and success. This person decides to retire and move to South America. Obviously, the user will no longer need to continue to license Sales Genius. However, the program contains very valuable customer information and history. The user may decide to sell this history to someone else in the company and "pass down" the information. Genius Technology grants the user full rights to sell the Sales Genius license at any price "the market will bear". Genius Technology will charge a one-time license transfer fee of $65 US. This will grant the new user a one full year license from the date of transfer, and allow the change of user information within the Sales Genius program. If the new user is already a licensed user and wants to combine the two sets of Sales Genius data, Genius Technology will perform the "data blending" operation for an additional $250 US.
