Endorsing and Recommending
Recommending
1. This acts as a reference and can emphasize the things you are best at doing
2. Helps to build your validity with your prospects at a faster rate.
3. You have the ability to approve it before it is published to your profile
1. Be careful of quality over quantity.
2. Beware of proper recommendation etiquette: Give before you receive.
3. If you solicit recommendations, you have the potential of offending those contacts.
Endorsing
1. Endorsements can lead to the appearance that you are an expert in one or more areas.
2. Contacts can either endorse you on existing skills or recommend new skills for you to add.
3. The more you are endorsed for a particular quality the more likely you are to come up in related searches.
1. Endorsements do not require an explanation or examples.
2. Anyone can endorse you for any skill and the skills might not relate to your current role or target market.
3. If you are endorsed there may be an expectation that you endorse back.
