The Fennec Watch One provides the essentials of a smartphone, without apps that can be time-consuming and potentially unsafe for kids. It comes equipped with the Fennec Messenger app, an instant messaging system that's fun and safe for family and friends. It is available for iOS and Android. The watch has a SIM card slot and a built-in speaker and rotating camera to take or make voice or video calls.

"Most parents didn't grow up with smartphones. But these have become part of a child's social ecosystem and caregivers can be understandably nervous about what their kids are exposed to, especially via apps like Snapchat and Instagram," said founder and CEO Stephen Tseng. "But as much as they want to keep their kids safe on the internet and on their phone, parents don't also want to limit life experiences and independence. Hearing this from friends and family, we took on the challenge and came up with Fennec One."

Fennec Messenger acts as a safe network for kids so strangers won't be able to friend or talk to them unless they are approved by their parents through the app. Parents can also choose from a variety of flexible management options such as "usage control" which manages how much time kids spend texting or playing games. It also

Parents and kids can set up event reminders and the watch will send an alert and/or vibrate. Kids can also listen to music on the go by connecting a Bluetooth headset, and play games.

"Fennec One has been a project we've been working hard on for the past year and we're hoping it can help parents and their children as they navigate through changes in technology. We're finally proud to present Fennec One to the world!" said Tseng.

Fennec One is currently available on Kickstarter with an estimated delivery date of Jun 2020. Media wishing to interview their personnel should contact PR agent, Jessica Sanchez at jessica@properpropaganda.net.

Sun Genomics Launches Floré Mobile App For Those On The Go

Sun Genomics is announcing the launch of the Floré mobile application, enabling customers to easily access their Gut Health Analysis today. The mobile application is focusing on helping users, particularly those on the go, accessing and tracking their gut health in real-time. The app can be used as a resource for those interested in gut health, showcasing gut health facts such as, which foods affect your microbes, how your brain and gut are connected and how microbes in the gut of infants and adults differ.

Sun Genomics offers comprehensive microbiome analysis and customized probiotic solutions under the Floré brand that improves overall health through personalized science. Floré empowers consumers to analyze their microbiome and take precision probiotics, which results in positive changes in their microbiome. By using DNA sequencing, Floré formulates the right prebiotics and probiotics for overall health and delivers the product directly to the customer's door. With the launch of the Sun Genomics' app, the company is delivering detailed and action-oriented information on each customer's gut health directly to their smartphone.

"Just as the mapping of the human genome 20 years ago changed so many avenues of modern life, from solving crimes to addressing nutrient shortfalls, the mapping of the human microbiome will have similarly profound results rippling across all areas of human health. The gut is not just home to digestion, but also immune function—and recent discoveries of the gut/brain axis offer tantalizing clues to the widespread benefit of the friendly bacteria known as probiotics. (Even prebiotic fibers are starting to see their day in the sun)," said Todd Runestad, Senior Editor, Ingredients & Supplements at New Hope Network & Natural Products INSIDER. "As the democratization of data proliferates, making health choices simpler and easier to access, we should find that tweaking our microbiome can benefit our health in ways we can now still only imagine. The microbiome should be the story of the '20s."

After a customer has completed and submitted their stool sample to Sun Genomics and received the test results, they then download the Sun Genomics app and establish their profile. From there, they can start tracking their gut health directly on all iOS and Android devices. Features of the mobile app include:

"In order to make substantive improvements in their lives and overall health, people require the right information at the right time and we are delivering this exact, actionable information in the palm of their hands," said Sunny Jain, CEO and founder of Sun Genomics. "While people have the best of intentions on their diets and habits, the unpredictability of life on the move often gets in the way, which is why it is so important to know the negative impact of your behavior and have the solution to address it. Through our mobile app and Sun Genomics Floré, we are making it easier than ever to ensure that your health is on track for longevity."

The comprehensive Sun Genomics' gut health solution, Floré, incorporating microbiome analysis with personalized probiotics tailored to each personal individual microbiome is available directly at http://www.sungenomics.com.

RAIN Group Releases Results from Global Study on Sales Negotiation

RAIN Group, a global sales training company, announced today that its research division released key findings from its newest global study Top Performance in Sales Negotiation. Click here to read the latest news.

Spearheaded by the RAIN Group Center for Sales Research, the group of analysts studied responses from 264 sellers and 449 buyers (247 business buyers and 202 procurement and purchasing professionals) representing $2.59 billion in annual purchases in over 26 industries across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.

"Negotiation is different than it was even just a decade ago. We wanted to better understand the factors influencing negotiation outcomes, the tactics used by both sellers and buyers, and to learn what works and what doesn't in negotiations today," said Mike Schultz, president of RAIN Group and director of the Center for Sales Research.

The study looked at what top performers in sales negotiation do differently from the rest, negotiation tactics used by both buyers and sellers, what buyers want, the role of price, and the impact of negotiation training.

Schultz added, "We studied major factors that affect negotiations such as how prepared a seller is, to what degree the buyer is price sensitive, seller understanding of power and leverage as well as negotiation tactics. What we found is fascinating."

Below are a few discoveries from the study:

Top Performance in Sales Negotiation

Negotiation Success Factors and Tactics

What Buyers Want

Role of Price

Impact of Training

"One in five sellers are Top Performers in Negotiation. There's a lot of room for improvement. To achieve the greatest sales success, your team needs to know which tactics to expect and which strategies are actually going to work. If you're getting beat up in negotiations, this report will give you the insights to turn it around," shared Schultz.
