For me, the tool of choice is a Bosch mixer - but I digress.

When writing an endorsement letter I usually put a reminder on my calendar and then look at it for a week or so.  That gives me a chance to think about it.

As far as typing over the last one - absolutely.  Why reinvent the wheel?  Yes the content is all different but the format is the same.  For me, starting with a previous endorsement letter is time saver.

If I stay with the three paragraphs of three sentences each, it takes about 20 minutes to craft an endorsement letter and get it posted to the website.

When I'm prepping for a Team meeting, I look to see if there's an Endorsement Letter I can write, so I have something to give during referrals.

• I have written an Endorsement Letter when I'm not going to be at the Team,
• then I send it to a Member and ask them to read it for me, so the person I'm writing about get's maximum benefit.

Dan Barber taught me to put what is most important to the person I'm writing about.

• His example was a Member who explained more {way, way, way more} than Dan wanted to know -
• that was clearly what the Member was proud of, so that's what Dan includes.

You can see the Endorsement Letters I've written here: https://powercore.net/members/wendy-kinney-powercore/endorsement

• I always make a signed copy for every Member, and after I read it I say:
• "Write the first name of the person you were thinking about while you hear this here {point to bottom right}
• then write, "I know them personally, I'd be happy to introduce you."
• snap a picture, and forward this to them today.

I'm grateful. I want my Endorsment Letter to create lots of new business for the Member I'm endorsing. 

I first write a bullet point list when I am crafting my endorsement letter. I like to make sure I have quick notes of the points that impressed me the most and then illustrate my sentences based on those specific wow-factors. No two endorsement letters of mine are the same, beacuse I want my endorsement to embody my experience and the strenghts of my specific experience with that person. 

I do record my thoughts in a notes app occassionally, especially if a thought or idea sparks the week that I am writing the endorsement letter! 

I start each endorsement letter from scratch on a piece of paper in my notebook.  I spend a few days adding ideas and getting just the right wording so that the person receiving the letter can fully understand my appreciation of them.  I then type it up on letterhead and sign it so that I can give an original copy to the recipient.  I also upload the signed letter into Harlan so that my recipient can accept it to have it show on their (and my) PowerCore profile page for the world to see!

I use an AI tool. I simply enter in the points I want to write about and then create the base letter. Then I just go in and personalize it the way I want it to read, 

I generally write an endorsement letter on my own letterhead, which I have designed and ready to go in Microsoft Word. I always start from scratch. I tend to spend lots of time leading up to the writing process percolating on what I want to say. I’ll think about it while I’m driving or watching television, and I’ll sit with my ideas until I feel ready to write a letter that will be meaningful to the recipient. Once I’ve written the first draft, I’ll review any notes I have about the recipient. I typically take notes in a RocketBook, and I store them in Microsoft OneNote in a PowerCore notebook, which makes it easy for me to find the information I need when I need it. Once I write the endorsement letter, I upload it to Harlan, so the recipient can accept it; this action then publishes it for anyone to view, which is a nice feature when I want to refer someone new to the recipient.
