🚨 Quick Lesson: Don’t Ask Strangers for Recommendations - ⚠️ PROTECT MY BRAND

Hello Elites,

I have received below message from an stranger on Instagram ! (watch & listen)

Talking about her experience with member of Elites & BTE on Linkedin.

I just received a message from a stranger on Instagram asking for a recommendation.

Before we go any further, I want to ask two things:

1️⃣ Does anyone know if this person is legitimate?

2️⃣ Do you, yourself, ever ask strangers for recommendations?

Because if you do — please stop. It doesn’t work that way. Ever.

Networking is about trust, credibility, and relationships. You can’t just message someone out of nowhere and expect them to vouch for you. That’s not networking — that’s cold outreach without context.

Now, here’s the interesting part…

If I’ve ever shared your testimonial or review, and people find you on LinkedIn because of that — that’s a huge opportunity for you!

💡 Here’s how you turn that into a win:

Take time to answer their questions and befriend them! Exactly like how I got to know you and you’re here!

Share your affiliate link when they ask how to join.

If someone joins and becomes a paying member through your link, you’ll automatically earn 30% commission — paid directly to your Skool account before it even hits ours.

Then, with one click, you can transfer it through Stripe to your bank account.

That’s what smart networking looks like — turning visibility into opportunity.

If you haven’t set up your affiliate account yet, or want to learn how it works, read more about it here:

Remember — connections are built, not begged.

P.s. whoever did this please go back and fix it!

I care about my brand
