Experience the Power of Social Media Networking & Easily Find Local Cuisine

Our saga continues with our 10 best travel tips and 10 new smartphone/tablet applications all tailor made for the busy traveling professional.

Travel Tip of the Week #8:

Use your social media sites to grow your list of potential clients.

Jump on the Social Media bandwagon to reach out to your friends. You never know when you will make it into a business deal.

Review your friends and contacts on Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In. There are many people that you are connected to that you may have only met a handful of times or you only know them through someone else. Challenge yourself to reach out to a handful of new people each week using your social media sites and offer to buy them coffee. You never know when you can convert your existing contacts into a client or friend. Also, by doing this you are spreading the word of what you do and are growing your network.

Smartphone App of the Week

See how easy it is to search for local eats where ever you are.


This week’s App is Urbanspoon through iTunes. You may have heard of the website urbanspoon.com. Well this app is the portable version of the site where you can view all local and chain restaurants in your area. If you don’t know what you are in the mood for at that moment, you can also shake your smartphone or tablet device and a random restaurant will be selected. If you are not satisfied with the first selection, keep shaking until you find something that clicks.  You can search for restaurants by neighborhood, type of food served, and price range. This app can be used to find restaurants not only in the USA but also in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. If you would like to find out more about this app or to download it to your smartphone/tablet, visit http://www.urbanspoon.com/.

How to Travel With Your Boss & Have Some Fun on the Road

Our saga continues with our 10 best travel tips and 10 new smartphone/tablet applications all tailor made for the busy traveling professional.

Travel Tip of the Week #7:

Traveling with your boss is a 24/7 endeavor. Whenever you find yourself traveling with your boss, take these suggestions to heart to ensure a professional outlook on everything you do:

1)      Always remember your boss is watching you at all times and evaluating your behavior and mannerisms.

2)      Don’t cause problems but find valuable solutions while you are on a business trip – especially when your boss is tagging along.

3)      Always be punctual.

4)      Always be polite to everyone including staff members where you are lodging, restaurants, shops, etc.

5)      Do NOT drink too much.

6)      Do not ask for any special favors from your boss.

7)      Go with the flow – do not be difficult.

8)      If your boss is asking you to behave in an unprofessional manner, do not fall into temptation and politely decline.

9)      Keep your cell phone hidden from view.

10)  Do not lose your cool or cry no matter what the circumstances are. If you must do so, take it away from your boss’s sight and never in front of clients!

Traveling with your boss can be a rewarding experience but be sure to follow these tips so you remain gainfully employed. Remember, you’re still “on” even during down times with your boss.
