10-Minute Marketing: write a LinkedIn recommendation

Marketing is a give and take, you always want to balance your “taking” (i.e. selling or promoting your organization) with some “giving.” A great way to give is to leave recommendations on LinkedIn. I like to leave LinkedIn recommendations for colleagues and vendors that I’ve worked with—and especially for clients who I love working with. An unsolicited LinkedIn recommendation will most certainly make the person’s day—and you never know, it might just prompt them to reach out to you with a new project or collaboration.

Write a LinkedIn recommendation for a colleague (or two, depending on how fast you are)
