Networking strategy - Part11

HOW TO ASK FOR A RECOMMENDATION #1

Assert your reputation

We understand how important our reputation on the web can be. One of the most efficient ways to build credibility is to have the recognition of our peers.

We want all the endeavours we put into delivering great outcomes to be assessed by people who, themselves, are well known to be reliable professionals.

However, there is a way to ask. Even if, in most instances, we have closely collaborated with the desired referrer it can come to be tricky.

Don't wait for the rain to fall: do it!
You know you want it. A recommendation can make a big difference when brought to the attention of prospects, investors etc. 
Actually, it will make a bigger impact than any self-promotion because it comes from a third party and it is a testimonial of a personal experience:  much more trustworthy because of its authenticity.

You are worth it To preserve this genuine authenticity, you might think then that it should come naturally as a compliment. 
But you know you deserve it!  Just go for it and ask. You might have great surprises of people truly keen and revealing qualities you wouldn't think of!

In my next post, I'll give the tips&tricks to have a stunning recommendation!
