“Social media? You mean like Facebook? My employees get fired if they’re on Facebook at work!”
That’s the usual reaction we get when we present the idea of using social media to business owners, managers, and executives at most industrial-minded firms around the country. Typically, our first-time prospects see social media as:
- Unsecure
- Time wasting
- Frivolous
- Insignificant
Those objections, all very reasonable at first glance, can be taken apart with just a little examination.
In an attempt to dispel some of the trepidation expressed through these anti-social media objections, the remainder of this article will tackle each head on.
