TIPS & TRICKS
- If you want a recommendation from someone, try writing one for them. People often will reciprocate.
- Never recommend anyone’s products or services you truly don’t endorse as this could damage your reputation
- Check spelling and grammar and if you see an issue, ask the person recommending it to correct the typo, as it would be horrible if by doing something good for you, they ended up doing something that is bad for them.
