Testimonials are an important tool to show others that they can trust you and your business, but what if there were an even more effective way to utilize those testimonials? Enter LinkedIn Recommendations. When reading testimonials on a website, there’s no way to know if those testimonials are genuine or if they came from that person’s family and friends. LinkedIn Recommendations, however, are written by LinkedIn users, so you know who is writing the Recommendation. Another benefit is that once someone reads a Recommendation, they can then click through to the profile of the person who left the Recommendation and ask additional questions about the person they’re looking to work with. How to Accumulate LinkedIn Recommendations You might be wondering, “How do I get Recommendations?” The most effective way is to give genuine Recommendations strategically. Think about who it is that might write a Recommendation for you if you write a Recommendation for them. Another way to get Recommendations is to ask for them. If someone is complementing your work, try asking, “Would you mind popping that in a LinkedIn Recommendation?” More often than not, they’ll do it. It’s also okay to cold ask. Start giving LinkedIn Recommendations, accumulate them for yourself, and watch your business opportunities skyrocket.   Episode Spotlights: Where to find everything for this week’s episode: karenyankovich.com/125 Introducing this episode’s topic (1:53) The confidence to use LinkedIn Recommendations (3:45) The power of LinkedIn Recommendations (4:45) What is a LinkedIn Recommendation?
