    Linkedin recommendations is definitely important. My issue is waiting for the recommendations to come back after I have requested. I know some pretty busy people….rofl. Linkedin is definitely an excellent tool!

    Thank you, Carla, for shining a light on how to do the recommendations on Linkedin.
    Your suggestion to find something specific to write about a person reminded me of having learned that in a parenting course. Instead of saying “Good boy” or “Well done” I learned to say what they did well.
    Asking for recommendations – well I noticed that I have some reluctance around that – and yet I know that I would be happy to recommend someone for something I appreciate. 🙂
    Thanks for the ‘nudge’!

  5. Carla,

    LinkedIn is a professional platform and too many people are not aware of how to benefit from it.

    Your presentation is going to help massive people understand the power behind this amazing platform.

    If they use it correctly and really build a relationship first with people the connect with. Then request a recommendation after they have been some assistance to a person. It will work to their benefit.

    My problem with people is they don’t even get to know me and complete their due diligence on who I am. They just want me to recommened them for doing nothing with me. I don’t have any history with them. More are poping on from other location that they have not been active. Then request are being sent to me.

    That needs to be corrected by gaining a relationship first.

    Carla, your a great coach in our industry and one I will be watching from this point on. Thanks for this empowering share. Looking forward to the next.
