How To Keep Business Moving During The Holidays
Entrepreneur Daily:
For entrepreneurs, staying connected to the office is critical even during the holiday season. Tom Shaughnessy, director of business marketing for Sprint, offers tips for remaining connected through the holiday season with your wireless phone.
1. You don’t need to say, ‘Bah humbug!’ to holiday fun to keep up with the news. Many new smart phones offer on-demand web content access, allowing you to retrieve information such as business news, stock quotes and other headlines to keep you informed even when out of the office.
2. Don’t wait until January 2 to track your company expenses during a hectic end-of-the-year spending period. Consider paying bills and monitoring account balances on-the-go via your mobile phone.
3. Spread your holiday cheer from almost anywhere. Many smart phones allow you to access e-mail programs that store all of your contacts. Whether you want to send a quick ‘thank you’ for a gift from a vendor or follow up on new business leads after a holiday networking event, it’s important to have your contacts at your fingertips.
4. Don’t end up at the North Pole on your way to a fun holiday gathering. Invest in a GPS-enabled phone, offering you step-by-step directions and even re-routing your way to your destination if you happen to make a wrong turn.
5. Access the office from the ski lodge or your tropical holiday getaway. Stay connected using a mobile broadband card, which allows for internet access anywhere your wireless carrier has mobile broadband service.
