targeted inbound keywords and a call to action
3. Make And Ask For Recommendations– A simple ask for clients, colleagues, partners
– “Dear _____, I am working on my LinkedIn profile and was hoping
that you would be willing to recommend me and my company
based on your experience working with us. Thanks in advance.”
4. Ask To Connect With Any Prospects That
You Meet– If you would ask them for a business card then invite them through
– Personalize your note and you will get a better response

rarely tells the right story, make sure you update it with your value
proposition, expertise, and that your most important business
development and subject matter experts are listed
