Positive Impacts Of Community Recommendations

By Rick Beaulieu


In life, there are several times when you will be called upon to provide information about something you bought previously or whose information you have. What you will do is to share your experience with the said item. The information you provide is used in community recommendations. When giving information of this type, it is important to consider the following points.

You should not recommend a particular goods or service if you are not interested in vouching for it. If you do that, your reputation will be on the line. Only recommend if you are sure about the qualities of a product or a service. There is absolutely no reason why your reputation should be on the line.

Start off with a strong language. If you believe something you are referring someone about is worth it, begin with the strongest thing you can say about it. Rather than just enumerating its advantages, say something that makes someone believe that indeed what you are recommending is good. Look for the best adjective to use. If you cannot find any good thing about it, then you may have to reconsider your recommendation.

Provide information that is brief and to the point. Do not engage in storytelling but be specific in telling someone the advantages of the particular thing you are talking about. If, on the other hand you provide too much information, it may not be of much help to the person who is requesting for it.

However, not all information you are giving about a particular commodity or service will be positive. If you are giving negative information, you have to make those statements be negatively couched. Do not look like you have a vendetta with the product. Just give the information and let the other person decide. It could be that what you consider real issues about the project is not really significant to the person who requested that information.

Getting recommendations from people who are well known to you is the best way to use when buying something for the first time. This is because you already have the critical information about the said product. If it has weaknesses, you know it. There will be no element of surprise when you come to realize its weaknesses. Moreover, when you decide to buy, it is because you have weighed both its pros and cons.

Caution must be taken when making purchases that involve big monies. One way to avoid getting raw deal id by being referred to by someone you trust. In such a case, there will not be any risks. Another thing is that the product or service has been tried and tested so you have all information regarding it.

Useful business recommendations work in two ways. Firstly, they show that you have value for your community in the sense that you can provide useful information about a particular thing. Secondly, these recommendations help a person to make a decision regarding what to buy. Therefore, you end up helping someone. It is a win-win situation for all of you.
