Stories from SMB owners like Roodman give the game its authenticity. Roodman explains, “The opportunity to participate [in the game] allowed us to share our experiences, some of which we learned just by mistakes and trial and error.” Iowa City KYOU-TV News also covered the game.

DCI developed SUPER SELLING! using data, stories, and expertise from thousands of SMBs over the last four years. The game is DCI’s fourth iteration of the “Super Selling” franchise, created in partnership with the Connected Commerce Council. Virginia-based small business Sway Creative Labs provided design and development support for the project.
