Everything changes when you sharing your desktop for laptop and desktop to the hotel room.
Sometimes this is for the best: You are released from your cabin and free to go wherever your business takes you.
But sometimes things change for the worse. Productivity suffers when you're in an unfamiliar place. How laptop keyboard cramps, sometimes your hands enough to prevent you from doing a job well done.
Here are four technologies "must haves" - the mobile office, as well as tools that can improve productivity when you're away.
• the right software
Not only download the laptop or PDA applications necessary, since they are also suitable if the mobile office programs. Is a program that your e-mail to build a road or adapted from the greater use of means to a corporate network? Programs are working together on your laptop or it does not freeze when it gets busy your CPU?
And these considerations can become major problems when traveling. This is something Tab Stone, a physician in Los Angeles, and knows very well. Software installation is a new e-mail on your laptop before leaving her recent trip, but not suitable for mobile use. He had to cancel shortly before takeoff, but disabled the e-mail backup. Means that you can not download messages to your computer. "I could not repair what has been spoiled by the fresh batch copy or downloaded from the Internet," recalls Peter.
: Contact management software allows you to merge data with your PDA, you can download and synchronize contacts, appointments, and notes on your Palm Pilot or Pocket PC. There is also a copy on the internet for travelers who lose or their own laptop or prefer to work from the office to their destination.
What is the next step? Find More integration between applications for wireless users. Contact Managers are already assuming the role of the e-mail and address book database. The next step is making it more accessible to people who use mobile phones or PDAs.
• substantive law
I'm not talking about having your new laptop. I'm talking about devices that have created life on the road. Let's face it: not done, and there are many tools that enhance mobile professionals with travelers in mind. For example, a flight attendant offered useful if the battery is low mobile Joachim Martin ran on a recent flight to relax in the port "secret" to the rear of the plane. "The batteries charged," remembers a software developer. "But it was when I got home, dead." Was the power supply must be replaced. Blame the airlines, and the manufacturer of the battery or even businessmen unfortunate not to know better, but this kind of thing happens often. Plugs the phone does not always correspond, not to sockets. And a large number of tools and rely on passenger hostile, impractical or both.
Update: Some hardware manufacturers and meet passenger demand for Families with hardware additions such as the Stowaway XT keyboard. I was also impressed by the Mini optical mouse Microsoft, which frees you from the constraints of the index cramps your laptop.
What is the next step? As the convergence between mobile phones, computers and PDAs continues, it would not surprise me to see devices that offer cozy comfort for your desktop computer with the possibility of a PDA. Not come too soon for many mobile users.
• Communications Law
The contacts are all mobile office.
Remember Peter, a physician e-mail? It has finally reached its messages via the network connection is not practical. Spencer Field, who recently returned from a trip to Melbourne, also ask about the problems of e-mail. I learned that when they arrived that the number of dial-up to the owner of an Internet service provider (ISP) have failed. "I thought it was probably the end of my access to the Internet," he said. "As a result of an effort last chance, let me do my fingers on and pulling Melbourne Yellow Pages for local ISP. " Found one and signed up for an e-mail a month, which gives access to local numbers throughout its program.
It is not only the issue of Internet connections, but also to connect other devices such as mobile phones, PDAs and laptops. Technologies such as Bluetooth allows you to communicate with other devices in the office or hotel room without the need for cables.
Update: According to a recent study by AT & T, and the main obstacle to work from a remote location is access to broadband data. Fast wireless networks spread everywhere - in hotels, airport lounges and cafes. Although Bluetooth has been a slow start, and the concept behind it - which is losing son - is fundamentally sound.
What is the next step? It will not be long before Wi-Fi and cellular coverage everywhere as the majority of devices supporting Bluetooth technology. This is good news for those of us who work in the mobile office.
• Web applications right
Web applications are extremely important for mobile office, I decided to give them their own category, even though they technically belong to the "programs". Internet is one of the most effective ways for mobile workers access to back-office system, intranet or database.
My ISP provides a rudimentary application that allows me to check my e-mail from the Web. I do not remember how many times I've had to use it because of the failure of the program my email is working properly. But I remember the last time. Suspended in a meeting outside the city and e-mail account was attacked my junk mail - thousands of spam - which would have taken hours to download. Instead, I am connected to the Internet and delete all in a few seconds. If it was not for the web application, and I would be more likely to download spam.
Update: One of the most innovative Web applications is GoToMyPC, which gives you access to the desktop in your home or office through the Internet. Another useful application for mobile users are conference services on the network, such as Microsoft Office LiveMeeting.
What is the next step? Expect these applications become cheaper and more reliable and sophisticated.

4 Classic cold connection errors
Have you noticed that the old "proven" cold calling techniques that have been successful once had completely lost their effectiveness over the years? They no longer work.
But many sellers are still using them because that's all you know. They work, it is effective cold calling old mentality. And they make the same mistakes again and again.
I would like to talk about 4 cold calling mistakes of the old classic traditional approach, which will put you on the wrong track if you're not careful.
1. Delivered a solid, not enthusiastic sales
People are almost always "pay" by sales of Hamas, especially when it comes from someone they do not know.
You see, a strong sales pitch, including tacit assumption that the product or service is an ideal choice for someone else. But think about it. Was much unless you talk to them before a conversation. You may not know much perhaps at this stage.
Them, and you're just a salesperson wants them to buy something. Thus, the walls go up.
It is much better to take small you know very little about your prospect. Invited to share some of their concerns and challenges you. And allow them to steer the conversation instead of your strategy before ordination or height.
2. Your goal is to always make the sale
When cold calling your target is always to make the sale, the prospects of achieving your agenda. Almost immediately, they are on the defensive. After all, you're primarily focused on yourself as you are, and sell - not them.
In the old traditional mindset, you advance the hope of getting a sale. You convince, persuade and move forward.
But most cold calls pause for a moment the other person feels this pressure sales.
Why? Because they do not know you, and they do not believe you.
Thus, the commercial dynamism that you try to create a game in fact lead to skepticism and resistance. They try to protect themselves against the "intruder" potential with what they see as a program for their own benefit.
Instead, you can approach cold calling different view. Maybe your goal to find out if you are able to solve the problem to someone else.
When you become solver, and it feels very different from the person to whom you speak. You do not release. You connect to 100 percent of your thoughts and energy focused on their needs, rather than focusing on making a sale.
3. Focus on the end of the conversation - and that's when the sales are lost
If you think you lose sales because you made a mistake at the end of this process, you are looking in the wrong direction. He added that most of the errors at the beginning of cold calling conversation.
You see, it is first of all to provide you if you are honest and trustworthy. If you started your cold call with a pressure sales pitch high, then you've probably lost the other in a few seconds.
When you follow a sales script, strategy, or a presentation, then you can not trust natural conversation in evolution. And had a "problem" instead of your first. And therefore a place to put all your attention at the beginning of cold calling, and not the end.
4. Face and overcome all objections
Programs more traditional sales spend a lot of time with a focus on overcoming objections. But these tactics only put more pressure on your sales prospect, which is called resistance. And also you do not understand or to explore the truth behind what is said.
When you hear "We do not have a budget," or "Call me in a few months", you can find out the truth by replying, "and this is not a problem."
And then, using gentle, dignified language, you can invite them to discover the truth about their situation.
Stay away from the sale of the old mentality and try this new way of approaching your cold calling. You'll find yourself to be more natural, and others will respond to you in a more positive way.
