Content: I thanked him and then asked him if he would be willing to put that feedback in a LinkedIn recommendation. Each time I receive some form of testimonial or praise via email or private message, I thank the messenger and then ask if they would be comfortable writing that in a LinkedIn recommendation. Here is another example. A reader of my last book, sent me the following private message on LinkedIn: “ Melonie, I just wanted to tell you that after I finished reading your book last week, I implemented what I learned, and it has already resulted in a $4,000 sale.” I thanked her for sharing this (as I love implementers) and then told her this would make a fantastic LinkedIn recommendation. Next, I asked if she would be open to writing a LinkedIn recommendation for me. And she did. Use this great strategy to get more LinkedIn recommendations. 5.
