Business Travel Hacks
0Here at TECHeGO, we’re all about improving your organization’s procedures, including your work trips. Keeping an optimistic attitude is the primary step to a worry-free travel experience. Also be sure to acknowledge helpful personnel along the way. Customers have a better possibility at getting upgrades, travel plan changes and amazing service when they ask pleasantly and maintain pleased demeanors. Generosity isn’t really the only way to decrease hassles and optimize your productivity while taking a trip. Here are a number of practical ways to make work-related travel better:
Pack Early, Pack Light
The longer you wait to pack, the more likely you are to forget something, so get started early. You can save time by keeping a carry-on suitcase loaded with the minimal quantity of clothing, shoes, and accessories you need, including 3-ounce toiletries in a Ziploc bag. Trade large laptops for thinner laptops and tablets such as a MacBook Air or an iPad. Replace hardbounds with eBooks. If you must bring a coat or large shoes, wear them on the aircraft to avoid using up space in your baggage.
Leave Absolutely Nothing to Chance
- HDMI, DVI, AV out, Apple Lightning– if you require it, bring it with you.
- Keep your material on a flash drive on a keychain.
- Find out the best ways to turn your phone into a hotspot.
- Prepare yourself to go low-tech. Be ready to draw your slides on an eraser board, a spiral note pad, or even simply the back of a napkin.
- Be just as gotten ready for high-tech settings. If you find yourself in a conference space with Apple TV or Google Cast, understand the best ways to take benefit of it to elevate your presentation.
Dress Up
Individuals get far better service when they dress well and appear wealthier. Wearing an outfit that doubles as presentation clothes while traveling is also smart in case your baggage is lost or you are late. That way, you’re not stuck in jeans for a huge conference.
Keep Customer-Service Numbers Stored in Your Phone
Keeping customer-service numbers handy deals quicker access to the best people if a flight is canceled or you require to alter a hotel or vehicle appointment, instead of waiting in line as soon as you’re there.
Stop the Germs
Airplanes are cauldrons of germs and viruses, but with a little preparation, you can protect yourself easily. You’ll need a little bottle of hand sanitizer and tube of Bacitracin. Sanitize your hands, then apply the Bacitracin to the inside of each nostril. Doctor-recommended, this fends off all the wicked bacteria.
Bring Down the Sound
Forget the pricey, noise-canceling, large headphones. Get some soft foam disposable earplugs. There are five good reasons that these beat out their competitors: they’re far more affordable, far smaller and (therefore easier to pack), simple to replace, flight-friendly (i.e. nonelectronic), and you can really sleep comfortably wearing them due to the fact that you do not need to wrangle big earmuffs.
Eat Smartly
There are four roadway rules for eating in airports. Initially, look for where the airline workers–pilots, attendants, etc.–are eating, and follow their lead. Second, opt for protein over carbohydrates, due to the fact that it takes longer to digest and burn, and therefore lasts longer. Third, constantly select bottled water as your preferred beverage (never soda, it tinkers your belly). Fourth, if you’re at a loss for what to consume, choose the always-safe chicken quesadilla.
