Ask Customers to Recommend You on LinkedIn as a Service Provider

In my last couple of posts, Are You LinkedIn Yet and Get Free Company Profile in Online LinkedIn Company Directory, I encourage my industrial and commercial readers to take advantage of the free services offered by the professional networking site LinkedIn. If you want to be listed as a Service Provider under one of the available categories then you must first get at least one of your customers to enter a Service Provider Recommendation on your behalf.

Here’s a great way to communicate with your valued customers for a reason other than selling. Send them a brief email thanking them for their loyalty and ask them to provide you with the recommendation. Send them the link so it is easy for them. Or give them a call and ask.

Believe it or not people like to be helpful. If your customers have a good feeling about you they will be happy to provide you with what you need. You will find that customers are proud of the business decisions they make. Deciding to do business with you is one of those decisions.
