Do endorsements help your LinkedIn ranking?

September 26, 2013 By maurasf

Does it matter if people endorse you?
Does it matter if people endorse you?

You may be using LinkedIn for your sales prospecting. You may be using it to be found by customers.  Either way, you may have wondered about the value of using endorsements. I’ve been noticing that along with people who knew my work, there were others who were endorsing me and I didn’t know them.

I did a search on the value of Endorsements.

If you want to be “found” on LinedIn you should be on the first page of the search results. Endorsements do influence rankings along with key words (what the person is using to search for you.)

Search results ARE dependent on being a first level connection. That means if I search for “sales consultant” on my LinkedIn page I’ll get different results than you would since we have different LinkedIn connections.
So, if you want to come up in an early page of someone’s search results, it’s REALLY IMPORTANT to be a first level connection. Beyond that, the number of times you’ve been endorsed for the key word MATTERS.
Here’s the link to the article I read:

Selling Tips

*What was your last “mistake?” Did you make it before? There’s nothing wrong with making mistakes in sales provided you are making different mistakes. (You are learning from them!)

About the principal

Would you take auto mechanics classes when you buy a car? Maura did because she wanted to be able to work on her car. She takes that same approach to selling. She can show you how to get below the surface of selling to learn why and how different strategies work. She will show you which skills to implement that will shorten your sales cycle and increase your sales. She was Mobil Oil's first female Lubrication Engineer in the United States and one of Chevron's top 5 salespeople in the country. She knows what works for sales.

"I would recommend your work to other sales organizations who want to get better results from improved selling strategies."
