Add to that your growing salesforce of 20 - somethings who find these tools unfamiliar and burdensome They've been begging you to allow them to use the Web 20 tools on their martphones . So you called this meeting to explore the possibilities with your IT team Since you just bought your smartphone two weeks ago , you had to learn about the variety of Web 20 tools available and brush up on their costs and benefits . Social networking tools allow people to create a customized public ( or private ) profile and update it instantly Internet - based applications like word processing spreadsheets and calendars take the software off your computer so you can create , manipulate , and use documents anytime anywhere And cloud computing enables information of all sorts to be stored not on individual devices that have to be synched or connected to a network but in a digital cloud " that can be accessed from your desktop your laptop , or your smartphone anywhere anytime . This has a lot of potential , " you think No more " Oops , I left that at the office " ruining a sales call , since documents can be accessed anywhere . You can keep up with your sales reps wherever they are - and they can keep in touch with you too .
