5 Ways a Smart Phone Can Improve Your Life
I've said it before and I will keep shouting it from the hilltops, you need to get a smart phone and you need to remember that your smart phone is more than just emails and telephone calls.
These days, no matter what handset you pick, there are a variety of applications out there that can help you improve your business and your life.
Here are some examples of the types of time saving applications that you can download to your handset.
Business card reader- most smart handsets these days have an inbuilt camera.
Enterprising types have developed applications that mean you can take a photo of the business card with the inbuilt camera and the details of the business card will be automatically read and saved as a new contact on your handset.
Access and edit business documents- with your new handset, you no longer need to travel with a laptop in most circumstances.
You can get access to software and applications that allow you to compose and edit documents in most common formats- for example Word Docs, Excel Docs and PowerPoint presentations.
With the right cloud computing program you can save all documents remotely as well so any changes are synchronized to avoid confusion.
Invoicing software- Gone are the days of the paper invoice and fax ordering for sales representatives out on the road.
You can now remotely log in to make sure a product is in stock, write up an order that can be filled the same day and send a PDF copy of an invoice directly to your customer all from your handset all within minutes.
This means that you can get orders faster, the customer is happy because they get their product faster and you get paid faster.
Dictation software- If you are on the road a lot this software may be useful for you.
You can dictate emails or notes in to your handset and they are translated into text.
Some studies that I have read suggest that dictating something can be up to 5 times faster than typing.
GPS Maps- You can make sure that you are never lost again with a GPS maps application on your smart phone, especially if it is one that gives you turn by turn navigation so that you know where you are going.
It is no longer just about calls and emails.
The right handset can change your life.
