 optimizing your LinkedIn profile by having recommendations added. This week's Two Minute Tip Tuesday is actually a challenge. Are you up for it? Hey, it's Leanne from leanncholderwood.com, and optimizing your LinkedIn profile is a great way to increase your personal and professional brand, and getting LinkedIn recommendations is probably the hardest thing when it comes to completing your profile. Now, there's a lot of articles out there that tell you to draft a template of a recommendation and send it to people so that when they do recommend, it's actually in a draft form. While I think that's a great idea, I still struggle to ask for recommendations. Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but it's really hard for me to go to people and say, hey, can you recommend me for the services that I provide? Here is my challenge for the week. Let's not ask for recommendations. Let's give recommendations freely. So call it what you will, call it good karma, call it a social experiment, call it paying it forward. But this week's challenge is for us to write recommendations for those in the industry, people that we work with, and see if any recommendations start to come back to us over time organically. So meeting partners, if you know a meeting planner that hasn't driven you completely crazy, then I want you to write them a LinkedIn recommendation this week. Meeting planners, if you have worked with meeting partners that have gone above and beyond to provide you with exceptional service, write them a LinkedIn recommendation this week. That's my challenge at my two minute tip Tuesday. We'll see you next week. Bye for now.
