Our hosts Brynne Tillman and Bob Woods talk about the Recommendations feature on LinkedIn, which according to Bob, is often overlooked by LinkedIn users.

Join them in this new episode of the Making Sales Social Live as they discuss the big advantages of having recommendations on your profile as well as how to start getting them from people in your network. Together, Brynne and Bob will go over the steps you need to take to get those valuable recommendations and also discuss tips and strategies for those instances where getting a recommendation is not an option.

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
