Sounds like a great idea. Evenings would be a good time for many interested outside of work too.

ps Then, I’d make them available to everyone for later listening.

Andrew, I think this is a great idea … though, due to the various biz/ personal needs/ demands many (most?) of us have; to say nothing about the wide range of time zones everyone lives/ operates in; I’d suggest that you consider announcing the calls far enough in advance (say, at least 5-10 days) to allow all who want to, to submit questions (here and/or to you via e-mail); which you’d then ask.

You of course could still have live Q & A; but in this way you’d have a far higher “participation” level, with many more potential excellent questions.

@Rob – depends on the size of the company. Honestly, sometimes having the CMO is better b/c they’ll talk more.

Great idea! I would love to have possibility to attend such webinars. Evening would be perfect for it – when everybody has time for it. This could be very helpful both for domainers, parking companies and others in domain business.

I would be there, better during the day.

I doubt you will find a CEO willing to do this though. Too risky and no benefit unless they have something they want to announce.

So, you might only get companies that want to promote something.

Also, keep in mind, a conversation with the VP of Marketing is not “management” conference call. Needs to be CEO, CFO, COO… that level to be worthwhile and not just a big PR stunt.

Good luck. I hope you can find someone.
