An advantage of using PDA and GPS systems is that they are small and light weight. They often have an easy user interface and can be updated regularly. The PDA will offer appointment updates and reminders for important meetings, this will be useful when going to important deals to close the sale. The GPS system will assist John with finding the locations of his meetings and clients, ensuring that he will not get lost on the way or not know where he is.

A laptop would perhaps cut the most out of his load that he requires to carry. The information such as the contents of the catalogue, and the order forms can be set up, ready to fill out on his laptop.

If John were to take out a contract mobile phone, he could always be prepared to make and take calls in order to give more of a professional feel to his job. This would ensure that he is always able to be gotten a hold of and could inform people that he is stuck in traffic, instead of arriving late with no warning.

The internet could play a vital role in the endorsing and sale of his products. John could set up a website for his company and display the contents of the catalogue online. This means that he would not have to travel to a destination just to show people what the product is, they can view it online and possibly purchase it.
