Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparents’ house to visit her ninety-five-year-old grandmother to comfort her˳ When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, “He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning˳” Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that two people nearly a hundred years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble?
“Oh no, my dear,” replied granny˳ “Many years ago, realising our advanced age, we worked out the best time to do it was when the church bells started to ring˳ It was just the right rhythm˳ Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong˳” She paused to wipe away a tear and continued, “He’d still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn’t come along˳”
So, what has the above got to do with choosing the right mobile phone?
It’s about getting it right˳ Mobile phones are such an integral part of our business lives, with which you have the ability communicate with every part of the world˳ It can turn every member of your organisation into its ambassador, creating new pathways into the marketplace˳ So, choosing the right mobile platform for the company is something to consider wisely˳
Over the years, I’ve worked with companies where the teams were using five or six different types of mobile phones, which is fine-individual choice when choosing a mobile phone is one way of doing it˳ But then there are all the ancillary bits that come with phones: various power leads, charging systems, cases, different apps on the interface, lens quality, and methods of storing data and information˳
Who’s not shouted across a work place floor, “Who’s got a Nokia charger?” And that happens to be the day that everyone who made it into the office despite the train strike has an iPhone˳ So, there is a case for a company to have all its team use the same mobile phone/platform˳
Mobile phones can either make your business life a misery or they can be a complete joy˳ The wrong phone and the wrong contract type can add grey to your temples faster than any old lady˳ So, which mobile phone is best for your business use? A platform that works for one company may not support another, but you know that, right?
Can you take it too far? A firm once told me they wanted not only the same phone, the same colour and the same memory capacity˳ And that all the apps were also to be in the same place˳ Wow, that has to be the Hilton Hotel of mobile phone interfaces˳ I can see their point, the rationale being that each and every member of the company knew exactly how to use the phone-the company essentially had eighty-nine experts all on the same phone˳
So, if someone said, “Where’s the App for futures markets?” for example, I can tell you now that the App was top left, two down˳ Mobile phone interface shorthand is a good thing, but we do like to give them our own character˳ For instance: my Skype App is just in the right place, right hand side two up-this is the length of my right thumb and I can reach the weather App from here˳ I’ll have it here˳ Or how the green of my travel app looks quite nice next to the red and white of the You Tube App, all technical stuff˳
BOOM, it’s out the door and I’ll take all the mobiles we have and trade them in for a bulk order of iPhone 7’s˳ No; hold on to your mobile phone until it dies˳ Keep using the phone until it can’t be repaired or there are no more updates for the platform you’re on˳ Then when it’s done, give it to your kids or to charity (WWF is a good one)˳
Pointers for when your contract date comes up:
- Consider this: when it comes to end of contract time, make a list of the things you want from your mobile-make sure the mobile phone platform (iOS, Android etc) fits your needs and not the other way around˳
- Don’t get into a mobile contract just because the iPhone 7 looked good on the tube poster˳ Which is better for the company-smartphone or dumbphone? It’s hard to download a malicious app onto your company network through a dumbphone˳
- Some industries and government institutions require dumbphones only, for security issues-no camera and they are substantially cheaper˳
- Pricing: which is better value for the company-a two year or three-year contract? Which length fits in with your plans for staffing and or expansion?
- Just before you upgrade your phones-will everything sync? Check whether moving mobile platforms will create any electronic cul-de-sacs in your office˳
- If you do decide the grass is greener and you’re going to swap over to another platform, it’s not tooooooo difficult, it just requires careful planning˳ There are plenty of Apps and the Cloud to help you swap information over carefully˳
- And finally, if your mobile phone does have bells and whistles on it, make sure they don’t all go off at the same time˳ You want to make it to ninety-six, don’t you?
