Increasingly, people are using LinkedIn to find professionals, such as real estate sales associates. They know that LinkedIn profiles tend to be more trusted because the site makes it difficult to exaggerate or lie.

A key component of a LinkedIn profile is the “Recommendations” section, which is comprised of testimonials from happy clients. If a prospect sees a few of those in your profile, you’re likely to get a call.

How do you get more LinkedIn Recommendations?

Search LinkedIn for clients you know are likely to recommend you. Then use the “Ask For A Recommendation” link to request a testimonial.

You’re more likely to get a recommendation if you give your client a heads-up phone call before sending the request through the LinkedIn system.
