Allow me to share my million dollar fantasy with you for a moment...
That's it. That's the one. I would like to be able to (someday) run my wildly successful business from the comforts of my own home. (My large, beachfront home)
I'd like to be able to use my laptop and my mobile phone to do everything.
Ok. My beachfront palace may have to wait a bit. But what about the fantasy of running my entire business from my Blackberry. (Or iPhone) How long will I have to wait for that?
The franchise business environment, which is really an environment of tight, proven systems, seems like an ideal one for mobile business management.
From OPEN Forum By American Express;
"All franchise systems revolve around sales. Your customers or clients are either coming into your place of business to purchase your products or services, or you are out and about locating customers or clients that will purchase your products or services."
In an article I just wrote over at Open Forum By American Express, I discuss, and even list some great mobile apps that could allow you to do some interesting things-including business management.
Yes, One of the biggest productivity tools - and a liberating tool than enables you and your staff to be mobile and not tied to the office - are smart phones and handheld devices such as the iPhone, and BlackBerry. Armed with such devices, your employees can complete transactions outside of the office, stay in communication at all times, and increase overall efficiency and productivity.
