The salesperson simply takes a picture of the order and use CamScanner.  Voila! the document is on the way. The action can be done anywhere as long as there is access.

 Losing client's business card can be frustrating.  Apps  like CamCard - Business Card Reader easily scans and store business cards on smartphones.

 For clients that are too busy, SignEasy is a handy app to secure their signature anywhere. This app allows the salesperson to have the customer sign on documents using smartphone, tablets, etc. Also, if the salesperson needs to sign and send important documents using smartphone or tablets, it can be done with the app without breaking a sweat.

 Sales team can get in touch with each other, share pictures and documents via messenger apps anywhere and anytime, with Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Messenger, Hangout.  Teams can also go on video call with Viber and conduct instant meetings even if team members are all out on the field.

 If sales team members are assigned all over country and reports are needed ASAP to be consolidated, Google Drive is the cool online tool of choice for such a situation. Sales team members can key in the required updates and viewed by all in real time while encoding is going on. Whew! team reports can be submitted in the nick of time.

The Seventies - The "Disco" Era

The seventies was undoubtedly the "disco" era.  As a teenager, I listened and danced to the distinct sound of that era. When "Saturday Night Fever" hit the movie theaters in 1978,  I became an avid fan of the Bee Gees and other bands that played the disco sound.   Besides listening to disco sound, I also mimicked dance steps like the "swing" and "L.A. shuffle" from a local popular TV show the "Penthouse Seven." I strutted my stuff every time  I danced with a partner at birthday parties held in friends' residences. Bands that dished out disco tunes during the '70s were  ABBA  with their  song "Dancing Queen";   Donna Summer 's   goosebumps-raising song "Last Dance."  Other bands like  KC and the Sunshine Band ,  The Trammps ,  Van McCoy ,  Gloria Gaynor ,  The Village People ,  Chic , and  The Jacksons   also flooded the radio airwaves in the '70s .   I even followed their progress over the loc

Grandfather@50

I will be turning 50 before the  end of this year, and what better way to usher in my golden boy status is becoming a bonafide grandfather.  I now have a grandson, his name is Samien. He was born on April 25, 2012. His parents say that the name means "to be heard".  I guess their choice was right because when Samien cries, he is really heard by everybody.

Samien, quite surprisingly

This blog will tell you all you need to know about organic rice. Some people think that organic rice is red and brown rice variety only.  Not really. It comes in other varieties and colors such as white, black, etc.  The idea that red and brown alone are organic rice is wrong.  These rice varieties are now sold under specific brands in leading supermarkets in the Philippines, however, not all of them are organic rice. But how will you know if you're buying organic rice or not? Organic rice is farmed without using synthetic fertilizer and chemical pesticide inputs. Besides the inputs, there are other things to consider such as -  How was it planted? What were the farming methods used? Was there contamination along the supply chain until it has reached the end consumer? There are variet
