Online sales presentation from laptop

In my business I call on small mom & pop restaurants to sell them online marketing. I use a presentation book with printouts and samples. I would like to give a live presentation on a laptop, but am wondering if there is a way to get internet access for my presentation without relying on internet availability at the restaurant. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you considered running a copy of the site straight from the laptop?

I have and many aspects of my presentation can be done this way--but invariably they want to see the consumer website and the searching feature--which will only work dynamically from the server.

As I understand it, you're going to be dependent on some form of Internet connection whether that be WiFi or some other type of Network.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a card or something you can get from Sprint or Verizon that gives you interenet access using satellite or cell towers.

Verizon offers BroadbandAccess in certain areas via BroadbandAccess-capable PC card. You might give them a call.

Thank you, Jeff. As always, you are a dependable source of useful information.:co

Happy to be of help.
