Love your article and the precision of your profile. I have one of the silliest questions but can't seem to get direction: do you know how to change the company name for which you are being recommended? I have recommendations on my page that are assigned to the wrong job position.

Well, that was surely below the belt, Shefaly. However, LinkedIn thankfully gives you the option of refusing recommendations if you don't like them :-)

@Jerry Reading between the lines, the best way to ask for a recommendation is to write a recommendation, but if you have to ask, ask someone who knows your work well.

Good step by step guide and I found it useful to get me started on LinkedIn recommendations. The biggest challenge I faced was writing good recommendations for others as it involves articulation and using right words. I was looking for something which can help me improve and found this book,"101 LinkedIn Recommendations"(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0.... Sharing with others with hope that it will help them as it helped me.

Mary,
I couldn't agree more with your comment about people with "loads of recommendations"! In fact, your entire email is spot on.

"They asked how I got them, and I responded with my secret: I asked for them."
"The best way I’ve found to ask for recommendations is not to ask."

Which is it?

Chris,

I would contend that writing "good" recommendations isn't enough. I coach and advise clients to only write great recommendations for great people. Anything less, will lessen YOUR brand and reputation.

Hi Chris,
I follow you on twitter and hadn't even seen your site.. Shame on me, but glad I did today when I searched for How to Write a LinkedIn Recommendation. Thank you for the useful tips! A colleague recently wrote a recommendation for me and I want to return the favor (quid pro quo as you say!)... thanks again, and I'm subscribing to your RSS feed to keep up.. thanks a bunch from Orlando, Florida. :-)
