Day Trip Essentials - What to Pack When Traveling For Business in a Single Day

​ If you are like most salespeople, you wind up either too prepared or not prepared enough for your business trips. Most of us rarely get somewhere without realizing that we forgot something or that we have completely overpacked. I think many of us find this particularly difficult for day trips where you need to strike a balance between being prepared but not having to carry a ton of stuff for the whole day. Through a lot (A LOT) of trial and error, I've compiled a short list of essentials for a day trip.

Notebook and Pen

As obvious as this may seem, it is surprising how many times this is forgotten. We live in a digital world where notes are taken via tablets and laptops. There is no substitution for taking notes by paper and pen. Also, It gives off the impression that you are paying attention to your customers (which you should be).

Mobile Charger

MORE JUICE. I can't speak for everybody but I am slightly obsessive when it comes to having a full charge on my mobile devices. I use low battery mode whenever possible but nothing gives me more anxiety than being below 50%. Never travel without one or two of these. I recommend getting one that has multiple ports to charge more than one device at a time.

Deodorant

One of the worst feelings when traveling, especially when meeting with clients is to worry that you are sweating too much. Between the smell and the stains it is enough to distract you from your primary goal. Pack a spray or small travel stick.

Hand Sanitizer

A must if using mass transit. Germs are everywhere and people are pretty damn disgusting. This is a small step in the right direction.

Ibuprofen

A long day of transit, meetings, stress, coffee, and alcohol usually leads to headaches.

Bottle of water

Hydration, hydration, hydration. One of the best ways to avoid headaches (mentioned above) is to drink a ton of water. Aim for no less than 64 ounces in a day. If you're at an airport, you can reuse your plastic bottle as there are typically hydration stations (fancy water fountains) at most airports.

Almonds

This superfood doesn't take up a lot of space but a couple of handfuls are packed with protein to keep you going between meals.

There are many other items to consider, but true road warriors usually get it down to a science. If you are using anything bigger than a backpack, you have over prepared. If you can fit everything in your pockets, you probably forgot something.

Sales Travel Guide - New York City

New York is a city that most B2B sales reps will find themselves in at some point. Nearly every major company has a presence in Manhattan or one of the other boroughs. With over 8 Million residents and many more travelers, there are nearly unlimited options for food, drink, and entertainment while traveling for business. Here is a brief travel guide. Due to the sheer size and importance of New York, we will have additional guides in the future as well as other key cities.

Here are a few tips to make the most of your trip:

Best place to eat for breakfast

If you are anything like me, your breakfast consists of multiple coffees and whichever sandwich can be quickly heated up. Starbucks is wonderful, but there is so much more to explore in New York. If in the Midtown Manhattan area, consider The Red Flame Diner. It is quick, delicious, and very reasonable by New York standards.

Best place to eat for lunch

Eataly NY, located in the Flatiron District has a number of options, so you won't lack variety. While this is technically an Italian Grocery Store, there are a number of options for lunch, including pasta, sandwiches, pizza, meats, cheeses, etc. In addition, if you have time for desert, coffee, or even a drink, they've got you covered.

Best place to eat for dinner (especially if entertaining clients)

44&X is a gothic inspired bar in Hell's Kitchen. Their motto is "Heaven in Hell" and they live up to the hype. This is a great location to take clients to. It is not too loud, but still has some life. The lighting creates a unique ambiance (right down to surprisingly uncreepy candlelit bathrooms). The Chicken and Waffles comes highly recommended by the Sales Couture braintrust.

Best place for beer

Whether back in Hell's Kitchen or a little north on the Upper West Side, beer nerds will find no better sanctuary than Beer Culture

Bonus - check out Connolly's Pub for a great Shepherd's Pie

A surprisingly cool hotel:

Yotel fancies itself "a new breed of hotel" and I can't say I disagree. I have only stayed there one night but can attest to the fact that it is an extremely unique, albeit refreshing take on a hotel. You stay in Cabins which look like they were furnished by IKEA, but the amenities and value for price are impressive.

At the end of the day there is much more to explore in New York. Consider this first of many travel guides for the city that never sleeps
