Looking for an easy way to win friends, influence people, and generate more referrals? Try giving someone a glowing recommendation on LinkedIn. Taking a few minutes to write a recommendation about your 1st degree LinkedIn connections is a great way to start generating those sought after referrals you’ve been chasing your entire career.
Getting referrals can be easy. Flattery will get you everywhere - right?
To really succeed at getting referrals from your contacts on LinkedIn all you have to do is remember that it is better to give than it is to receive. Giving recognition to others opens the door to reciprocation, and will make it easier for you to ask for introductions and referrals to the people you want to do business with. It will also propel your career and give your business the visibility it needs to stand out and get more noticed than your competition. Don't delay - start doing it today!
For example:
“Diane is a fine example of a business professional and a pleasure to do business with for the past 5 years. I highly recommend to Diane to anyone in need of top notch technical expertise and above average “people skills”.
Here’s How to Write a Personal Recommendation on LinkedIn
Simply go to the profile of any first degree connection you'd like to recommend. When you arrive at the LinkedIn profile of the person you want to recommend, look to the right of the box called "View in Sales Navigator" and you will see a gray box there called MORE... Click on the MORE... box and scroll to the bottom to find the selection called "Recommendation" - click on that menu item. Now follow the steps to write a recommendation, then click send. Presto! You're about to make a new friend and have an easier time asking for a referral or introduction to someone you'd like to do business with.
