There was a time when all you need to succeed in business is a sharp suit and business savvy. But now, technology provides entrepreneurs with various tools to remain competitive, make informed decisions at all times and become more efficient and productive, even on the go.
Here are tech products that every entrepreneur today needs:
Mobile Phone
Mobile phones have revolutionized the way people do business. Previously, you can only use the landline phones on your desk to contact someone or for your customers and other parties to contact you. If you’re waiting for a phone call, you’d be tied to your desk waiting for the phone to ring. Nowadays, customers, business partners and others can reach you anytime and anywhere allowing you to get more things done. The always-on connection also allows you to be more productive while traveling and enable you to respond to emails and work while you are on-the-go. The apps available on smart phones also extend the capabilities and functionality of your phone, from checking your website’s traffic to checking your business bank account.

Mobile Broadband Devices
For many types of businesses, staying connected to the Web on the road is a must. While you can use your smartphone to access the Web, the phone’s small screen renders many tasks to be difficult. If you want to make better use of your travel time or work remotely, you will need a mobile broadband device that can give you access to the Internet. You’d want to be able to connect your computer and other devices to a broadband network that is private and secure, not through hotspots available to everyone and anyone (including hackers) in Starbucks.
A mobile broadband device also allows you to get high-speed internet for several devices, without the added expense of getting each device its own data plan. If you use an iPad and notebook computers on the road – and if your family members traveling with you use their own devices as well – you don’t want to pay for data plan for each of the devices. Paying for 3 or more data plans for all your devices (phones, tablets and laptops) can be very expensive! A cheaper and more efficient alternative is to purchase mobile broadband. You can subscribe to monthly plans for your mobile data or purchase pre-paid mobile data cards.

Tablet Computers
Having a tablet computer such as an iPad is an invaluable tool when doing business on the go. With the apps available and its Internet connectivity, iPads make working remotely and attending business meetings easier. It can be an extremely useful tool with its ability to store information and extend its functionality through various apps. With bigger screens than smartphones, iPads make it easier to type on the screen, and can be invaluable in viewing the information that you need in any environment.

Business Cards
Business cards are hardly the most recent of inventions; however, they are crucial for anyone who is serious about networking or making the most from their business as any prospect will need to get in touch with you if you want to buy your products or services. Consequently, it’s absolutely vital that you have a business card with your name and contact details on it. Even better, if it explains what your company does then someone will be able to place you with the card even if they can’t remember your name – something that can happen a lot of the time.
Business cards have gone a long way as well. There are now high-tech business cards, where you just tap a physical card to a smartphone screen to transfer a digital profile to a recipient’s mobile device.
As you can see there are many pieces of kit that can help a businessman to outperform a rival – what could you just not live without?
