Are you connected?

We live in a mobile world, but that does not mean we have to sacrifice meaningful connections. As technology changes, B2B marketers need to stay up-to-date and informed on what is happening in the business world and with their own company. Whether it’s a presentation outline you want to develop at a later time, a quick note to a colleague, or sending an email to a customer, these four apps have the ability to get the job done conveniently and efficiently.

The website Usablenet recently shared that 52% of B2B customers use a smartphone to research products for their businesses, and up to 10% of B2B web traffic is directed from mobile devices (February 2014). As you aim to be the leader in your business, now is the time to make mobile connections. Technology is ever-changing, and we are only as connected as we allow ourselves to be.

When it comes to B2B companies and the mobile world, Forbes presents these points for consideration:

• Consider your presence on apps such as Facebook and LinkedIn and be sure your profiles are complete and thorough.
• Buyers have moved past looking for information only on laptops, and your company’s presence in the mobile world “must evolve with it”.
• B2Bs should not focus wholly on using the web to inform customers and must take the leap to being mobile savvy.
