Video Transcription :
In this video I want to very quickly show you another way to ask for recommendations
that's actually easy this video is brought to you by Appy Pie Academy in your
profile when you go to add profile section and you scroll down to this
additional information you see you can request your connections to write your
recommendation so for example if I had you know would just write that same guy
that I use examples with I can ask him and of course I can say ok man whatever
I can choose whatever you want here and then I can just navigate I'm not
actually gonna ask him for a recommendation now but you can ask people
individually on your profile and it works doubly well if you do this and message
them privately and say hey I'm looking for a recommendation can you please do
this in case they don't see your message on LinkedIn or in case they see it and
they forget it it's really strong to reinforce not only that in case they don't
do it and in case you think they would do it just maybe they forgot or busy a
week later you might want to remind them so who do you remind you yourself are
going to forget so if you're really on top of this and you want to get to like
the 50 recommendation trash hold which would make you look amazing then you
actually want to make almost like an Excel spreadsheet of potential people who
you might want to get recommendations from and in the Excel you would say ok
this person recommended me this person I reached out to this person I need to send
a reminder and that way you'll know who to remind and and it would be a very organized
approach for you for how to get recommended by a lot of people without
tremendous amount of work for the number of recommendations you'll get.
