Comments on: Is Your CEO Afraid of Facebook? https://www.corporate-eye.com/main/is-your-ceo-afraid-of-facebook/ ...compare, compete, excel Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:44:59 +0000 hourly 1 By: Rosie Heptonstall https://www.corporate-eye.com/main/is-your-ceo-afraid-of-facebook/#comment-9639 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:44:59 +0000 http://www.corporate-eye.com/blog/?p=20451#comment-9639 I found this article particularly interesting, as I’m currently looking into whether social networking is beneficial for consultancy businesses. I have been reading a consultancy book by multi-millionaire consultant, Alan Weiss, who says that people looking for consultancy (to my mind: CEOS/owner-managers etc.) can’t be reached via social networking sites. I didn’t want to question his judgement, but somehow it just doesn’t ring true to me.

I fully agree with your article and hope to see more CEOs using social networking in the future.

I think that interviewing the CEO’s is a great way to introduce them to the world of social networking. But, I wonder if the interviewing is enough? Will they really feel “connected” or do some CEO’s need tangibles, proof, actuals that social networking is worth its salt? I will however, takeyour wonderful tip and utilize it by interviewing company heads. If/when you do, please do share the results with me, would you? Thanks again Melissa!!

I am currently working on a presentation to leaders from at least twenty Fortune 500 companies. One of the best ways I see to help CEO’s become more visible is to interview them for your blog. The more you engage them the more they will start to see that they can get their name out there in a positive way.

In today’s much more intimate world if you don’t get your name out there in some way someone will talk ABOUT you. I think once CEO’s understand this reality they will take it upon themselves to be more pro-active online.
