In the new binary world, business never sleeps. And in such a fast paced environment, mobile executives and key decision makers have to make rapid, informed decisions. But if you’re away from your desk and haven’t got the time to fire up a laptop, you could find yourself disconnected from vital information that could decide your next business move. So what’s the alternative?

Smart phones, smart technology, smart business

The alternative is the smart phone. More specifically, the BlackBerry® smartphone. This tried and trusted brand was one of the first truly ‘smart’ phones and set the benchmark by which all newcomers have been judged. The BlackBerry paved the way for the mobile revolution and is still at the cutting edge of the very latest in user-friendly design and functionality.

A BlackBerry handset is more than just a fashion icon. It’s a practical, rugged and multi-functional device that is the original ‘hand held computer’. This makes it ideal for business users, thanks to a wealth of applications and integrated software that turn BlackBerry smartphones into a true ‘pocket office’. WiFi activated connections put you in touch with your office as if you were there, allowing business decision makers to access and prioritise critical data on the move.

BlackBerry support

The BlackBerry has international support, so that accessibility isn’t limited to UK shores. Even on the other side of the world, a BlackBerry lets the business user link up with their office, transfer files, move and receive data as if they were just in the coffee shop around the corner. The BlackBerry has done more to ‘shrink’ the world we live and work in than almost any other hand held device. It is this connectivity that is so crucial to modern business and the business user, and is why BlackBerry mobiles continue to be the smart phones of choice for business users.

Mobile sales strategy

Having the facts and figures at your fingertips can often be crucial to sealing a deal. Any delay in getting those figures could cost you a contract or new business partnership. While borrowing someone’s laptop to check your emails may be easy enough, it doesn’t look very professional. In business, image is everything, and if you want to present your business as vibrant, affirmative and as professional as possible, then having access to your figures from a BlackBerry gives you an authority and immediacy that impresses. It gives your partners confidence that you’re serious about business and are able to adapt and control your organisation even when you’re on a different continent.

Social networking

The biggest growth area in business online campaigning is through the use of social media such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Once the preserve of teenagers and desk-bound browsers, social media is now a hugely important business arena that you have to be part of to raise your online profile. A BlackBerry lets you stay in touch with your network and tell the world what your business is doing. All of this raises your online profile and pushes you up those all-important Google rankings. And it’s all accessible from a BlackBerry.

Smartphones are the future of business. If you want your organisation to be up there with the big players and you have a mobile workforce, a BlackBerry is the most cost effective and efficient way to keep your operatives in touch 24/7 and your business online seven days a week.
