Personalizing it.

Finally, don't forget you can make your phone your own by downloading apps, most of which are free or close to it; changing the wallpaper to whatever you like (including photos); moving around the icons on your home screen; and taking advantage of any accessibility aids you may need, such as larger font, louder audio, vibration alerts ad so on.  This is your phone, so you can change how it looks and operates to suit your individual needs  Your pocket companion can be as unique as you are.

Tip #6
Talking to your phone.

Be sure to take advantage of your phone's built-in voice-enabled personal assistant. All new phones have it, whether it's Siri (for Apple's iOS devices), Google Now (Android), Cortana (Windows Phone) or BlackBerry Assistant (BlackBerry).  When you use your phone for work and play you'll notice talking to your phone can help you get more done in less time. For example, you can dictate your emails; ask your digital assistant for directions, local businesses and what the weather is like (even in a different city).

Tip #5
Driving Hands Free
.
It's the law, so be sure to remain hands-free while behind the wheel. If your vehicle doesn't have a Bluetooth connection to sync your phone through the stereo, pick up an inexpensive Bluetooth speakerphone (which usually clips to your visor) or consider a wearable Bluetooth headset instead. Tip, set your phone to 'auto answer' so there's nothing to press to accept the call. The best thing to do is not talk and drive simultaneously at all, but if you can safely mulitask, remember that you must keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.

Tip #4
Accessorizing it.

​Along with a backup battery charger, a few other accessories an help extend the functionality, style and longevity of your business tool. A protective case is a must for when (not if) you drop it. Screen protectors can also help safeguard your smart phone's screen (consider tempered glass screens instead of plastic).  If you need to do a lot of typing and you don't want to bring your apt with you, carry a portable keyboard that wirelessly tethers to your phone via Bluetooth.

Tip #3
​Using smart security.

​
 Always lock your device with a PIN, password or pattern.  Also, set up one of those free 'find my phone' apps, which might be built into your device, to see your missing device on a map, make it ring loudly, display a message on its screen or remotely wipe the phone clean.  Update your smart phone with the latest operating system software whenever an update becomes available, because it fixes software vulnerabilities.

Tip #2 
Roaming if you want to
. Contact your carrier
before you head to another country, as it'll be less expensive to pick up a travel plan ahead of time. Being proactive will save you money off the standard roaming rates for voice, text and data usage. While away, you could turn off data roaming and pick up your email, surf the Web or check Facebook when in a free Wi-Fi network, such as in a local café, hotel lobby or airport. Just refrain from things like online shopping and online banking, as there could be cyber criminals who take advantage of unsecured networks.

I can't imagine doing any business these days without my smartphone - it truly is an essential work tool. That's why I take a variety of steps to make sure I get the most out of it - and that it keeps working. 'Smart' Tip #1
Preserving battery life.  A phone's screen is one of the biggest power culprits, so dim he screen brightness to at least half or even a third. If you notice the battery is waning and you can't recharge it look for a power-saving mode or similar option.  You can also temporarily turn off wireless features you're not currently using, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near-field communications anad GPS.   Limit the "push" notifications of email and apps in the Settings area. As a backup, pick up a portable charger to use in a pinch.

When customers ignore you...Tip#4

Picture
Make time shrink.  Imagine a customer or co-worker asks you to send information that might normally be sent the next day. You could say, " I won't be able to send it to you until tomorrow." Or perhaps, "I'll send it first thing in the morning."  Contrast those responses with, "You'll receive it within 24 hours."  The 24-hour statement sounds like a stronger commitment because it's specific.  And it sounds faster because you're talking hours, not days.

When customers ignore you...Tip#3

Picture
Listen loudly.  It's not enough to just listen to customer needs and then offer solutions. You need to be perceived as listening. Starting your comments with "sounds like" forces you to paraphrase your understanding of their needs.  It's also a great lead-in to expressing empathy, as in "It sounds like you've had a frustrating time trying to fix this."
