A New Life for Your Spare Smartphone
If you have a spare smartphone or tablet, you can use it as a free Internet-enabled security camera.

SmartPhone-Security

Just install one of the free apps that use your device’s camera – such as Presence (iOS), Manything (iOS) or Salient Eye (Android) – and leave it plugged in, turned on and pointed towards something you want to keep an eye on. Now, from your primary phone or tablet, you can see what your older device sees, or set up motion alerts so you’ll be notified if any movement is detected.

Virtual Vegas at Your Fingertips
V-Vegas
If you are on board for the Vegas adventure, but aren’t sure which experiences outside of gambling you might like to try, there’s a new virtual reality app (appropriately called the Vegas VR app) that transforms your mobile phone into a canvas for experiencing things such as a helicopter ride over the strip, an urban zip line ride, and more. Learn more at: itb.vrtv.vegas. 

Exercise Your Inner Confidence
Sales-Confidence

 

Confidence is key in sales. A salesperson who isn’t confident is like a lawyer who isn’t competitive. But confidence doesn’t come easy when you’re constantly dealing with rejection from prospects.

Be prepared
Doing the work to be prepared for a presentation is one of the best ways to become more confident.

Speak assertively
Speak confidently and assertively and you will feel that way yourself.

Sell a product you love
If you truly believe in what you’re selling, the confidence will come naturally.

Change your posture
Studies have shown that you can actually boost your own confidence by changing your body language.
