Recommendations are one of the unique features of LinkedIn that sets it apart from other social media networks. What better way to really market your business than by having your colleagues and clients share your expertise?
I’m sure your next question is, “How can I obtain recommendations?” The best way is to live by the old adage:
“Give and you shall receive.”
