Asked for a LinkedIn recommendation?

It can be hard to know what to write, right?

Try this format:

↳ The challenge faced
↳ The solution bought
↳ The tangible result
↳ The future impact

~~~

As an example, which of these works best?


1️⃣ I previously spent $850 on a digital writing course. This program offers significantly more value than that one did, at a much lower price point. I highly recommend it.


2️⃣ Finding a digital writing course that delivers wasn’t easy. This program honed my writing skills and mindset, helping me land big three brands. That’s taking my PR agency to a new level.

Remember: challenge-solution-result-future

PS Also share this format when you ask for a recommendation. You’ll see a difference. 💥
