Here’s more information about Bob McIntosh:
Here are highlights from our discussion:
- Linkedin all-star status once required recommendations, but skill endorsements replaced it. Endorsements ramped up the activity. See Bob’s article about recommendations
- Recommendations weren’t moving fast enough, but endorsements were easy to do
- Recommendations could be the new referral – contingent on witnessing the reason
- Recommendations shown builds the trust
- Comment is more of engagement than a “Like.”
- Sections used to be movable within the profile
- The writing should be error-free (reflects the writer and the profile)
- Nothing wrong with writing the recommendation, get approval from the recommender
- You don’t have to display all of your recommendations
- How many recommendations is enough
- Recommendations are no longer associated with the company
