Recommendations are a clear indication that you do a good job and know what you are talking about. It’s crucial that you build then up. There’s no reason why anyone shouldn’t be able have 10 recommendations. Most people don’t get any recommendations because they sit back and wait for someone to take the initiative. You have to take the initiative.
When you begin working with a new client connect with them on LinkedIn. Once you’ve finished the project send them a recommendation request. Keep the request simple and mention the work you did for them and then state “I’m using LinkedIn to build my online brand. If you feel the work that I did on your behalf exceeded your expectations I would appreciate your taking a moment to write a brief recommendation.”
