I talked with some folks on Twitter about this process and they were surprised to see that I had over 100 recommendations. They asked how I got them, and I responded with my secret: I asked for them.

Use the recommendation system within LinkedIn to send the recommendation request. If you email it to someone, it’s another chance to NOT get it filled out.

paul loweElements of a Good LinkedIn Recommendation
November 17, 2008
office guy I just updated my LinkedIn profile to reflect my role as president of New Marketing Labs, and to make sure all my information there was fresh and up to date. I talked with some folks on Twitter about this process and they were surprised to see that I had over 100 recommendations. They asked how I got them, and I responded with my secret: I asked for them.
Elements of a Good LinkedIn Recommendation
LinkedIn, the business network for professionals, is more than a living resume. It’s a reputation engine, a visual representation of your business network’s reach, and a place to express your business capabilities. I use it all the time to reach out to people, to find potential opportunities where I can help others, and to share what knowledge I have with others.
I have a difference of opinion with LinkedIn about who I connect with as a business colleague. They recommend that you link only to people you’ve done business with directly, and who you trust. I don’t do it that way. I connect with nearly anyone.
Where I take my stand, however, is recommendations.
