LinkedIn Locksmith Tip: Start Collecting LinkedIn Recommendation Now!

How often are you collecting LinkedIn Recommendations from your clients and customers?

If you're not asking your clients or customers to share their positive experience with you and your company, you're missing out on one of the most powerful ways to increase your Visibility and Credibility on LinkedIn.

A LinkedIn Recommendation is valuable because it shows the marketplace how your service made an impact upon another person. When people read the testimonial, they will begin to see you a viable resource and as a solution when they have a problem that you can solve.

Testimonials are a form or borrowed credibility that influences how people make their buying decisions. But if you're not leveraging LinkedIn Recommendations, how will the prospect you are persuing know what separates you from your competition?

Additionally, LinkedIn Recommendations increase your visibility.

How so?

Well, once a person gives you a LinkedIn Recommendation, it not only shows up on your profile, it shows up on theirs. What does this mean for you? It means, when people are looking at your client's profile, they will stumble upon the LinkedIn Recommendation they gave you and it will prompt the person to look at your profile.

In a future blog, I'll tell you how my LinkedIn Recommendations helped me to secure one of my biggest speaking opportunities.

But for now, allow me to share how grateful I am for the following LinkedIn Recommendation I received from Esther Dillard, two-time Gracies Award-winning journalist, author, storyteller & podcaster.

Esther heard me speak during a online training session hosted by Dr. Pam Perry during her #SpeakSellShine Cohort 2 Session. I was sharing tips on how each speaker can leverage LinkedIn to enhance their visibility and promote their skills as a new business owner. She found so much value in my talk that she purchased a copy of my book "Collaboration Creates Currency: The Blueprint for Visibility, Credibility, and Profitablity" and received a complementary One-Hour LinkedIn Strategy Session (which you can receive too as an incentive for purchasing your copy. Just click here).

Her LinkedIn Recommendation has helped me to attract new clients who are Speakers - just like her and it's all because I was willing to ask Esther to give her testimonial via LinkedIn. Esther is 1 of over 200 people who have shared their testimonial via a LinkedIn Recommendation which you can find on my profile when you scroll down below "Experiences". 

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because I want you to have a slight edge over your competition. And I want you to become more active on LinkedIn so you can increase your visibility, credibility and client acquisition.

If you are already leveraging LinkedIn Recommendations, excellent; share your experience in the comment section below.
