Things you will learn in this episode:

* Having a recommendation on LinkedIn can reduce your sales cycle. When a prospect asks to speak to your clients, direct them to your recommendations on LinkedIn and let them know if there is anyone there that they’d like to talk with. If you have enough credible recommendations, they won’t need to talk with anyone. — Brynne Tillman

* What better way to prove that you are who they say you are and can do what you say you do (and do it well, too!) than with recommendations from other people? You can not only receive recommendations on LinkedIn, but you can also give them to others you know so they can do the same thing. It’s called “social proof,” and it can be a game changer for you and your connections. — Bob Woods
