Selling Social Media to the Boss

After writing about social media fears and social media security, we had several requests for an easy way to share the articles. People flock to us asking “how do I sell this to my boss?” and begging for something simple and tangible that they can share with their coworkers who need a nudge.

Below is a visual presentation on overcoming social media fears that anyone can understand. Share this with your coworkers, friends, family and anyone else that needs encouragement. It’s not as scary to use social networking tools as some people think, so pass the word along!

Going through all the objections and your responses was eerily reminiscent of how you convinced me to go on twitter last spring. Excellent Lani.

I love it. Actually related to more than half of these personally when I first started. Not that I objected, just that I did exactly what you explained in your responses. Great way to present to all those still “sitting on the fence”
