Writing recommendations:
Step 1: Start With a Knockout Line
Start with a line that grabs your audience and makes them want to read more.
Step 2: Describe Your Relationship
Give the reader some context as to how you know the person, including your
reporting relationship, what you worked on together, and the length of time you’ve
known each other. Let readers know why you’re qualified to give the
recommendation.
Step 3: Share a Standout Trait
Think about one or two things this person does better than anything else—or that
really stand out to you above others—and focus your recommendation there.
Step 4: Add a Touch of Personality
People want to hire someone who not only gets the job done, but who’s also great
to work with. Share something about what it’s like to work with this person.
Step 5: End With Your Solid Recommendation

Dynamic,professional and personable is the phrase that comes to
mind when I think about Peter Davy. I have had the pleasure of
knowing Peter for more than 20 years and his dedication to ensuring
successful outcomes for those he works with makes him a great
partner. Above all I have been impressed with Peter’s ability to
analyse, understand and process brand situations with a clear goal
of recommending marketing solutions that deliver on business
objectives. His action oriented, budget cognizant recommendations
really make Peter stand out in a crowded marketplace. Peter’s
ability to connect on a personal level while delivering winning
solutions makes him an asset for any business looking for a
marketing partner and I have no hesitation in giving him my
heartfelt recommendation
