I still think that in this current day and age of remote working, that not enough people are taking advantage of it. Right now I’ve just had a meeting with a cool trainer about setting up his online marketing and in the spare 10 mins on the train, I can write this piece.
The technology in the palm of our hands is changing the face of business.
I remember watching Star Trek as a child and seeing the pads which they walked around using that showed them everything they wanted to know. We now have that technology readily available, and it’s changing how we work.
I can already see the benefits of mobile devices, and I’m sure we are all enjoying the benefits. I supposed yo have thought about how much further you can take it?
Take for example, on the spot invoicing. Did you know you can setup a system which will enable you to send an email from your mobile to a specific email address and it will generate an invoice based on the fields in your email.
You can point of sale selling from anywhere now. This saves you losing out on a sale between agreeing and sending the paperwork or email when you “get back to the office”.
I honestly think that we should all adopt even more remote working practices and get on board. This is good for you, it’s super productive, and ultimately it’s good for the planet.
I’m nearing my train stop now, so let me finish up.
2 years ago what I’m doing right now would be impossible. Now it’s a reality. The sooner you embrace this new business practice, the sooner you’ll evolve. It’s not going away, remote working is here to stay, so would you rather keep working with a manual screwdriver, or would you prefer a power drill?
