Fox's Expert Tip

You will receive a notification whenever someone endorses one of your skills. You will be promoted to “Say Thanks” via LinkedIn messages. Be sure to say thanks.

Everytime you endorse a persons skill they will receive a notification. It’s a powerful way to put you on the radar of a connection, colleague, or client. Get into the habit of endorsing skills regularly.
