“I’m not sure I should ask them for a recommendation. It feels like too much.”
I hear this all the time.
But here’s the truth: you already gave them value. Why not let them share it publicly?
We trust Google reviews. We trust Airbnb feedback. We check testimonials before making a decision.
LinkedIn recommendations are no different. They’re your personal brand’s social proof. And most people are happy to write one. You just have to ask.
Here’s your reminder:
- Sent value in the DMs? Ask.
- Helped on a call? Ask.
- Finished a project? Ask.
Your profile deserves to speak for your work. Let others vouch for you.
