How to Request Recommendations
“Anyone have a recommendation for ___?” is a good way to start. 😊
To get the most relevant recommendations possible, I’d recommend that you be as specific as you can.
- Not helpful: “Can anyone recommend a designer?”
- Helpful: “Can anyone recommend a designer who excels at removing backgrounds from photos, using Adobe Photoshop?”
How to Share Recommendations
Simply reply to someone’s request. Provide contact information AND be specific!
- Not helpful: “I know a person, but I don’t remember her name.”
- Helpful: “Angie is a responsive and experienced book cover designer: https://www.fiverr.com/pro_ebookcovers”
