FOUNDER | The TRIBE - Exclusive Community by Richard van der Blom
Aug 2022
The TRIBE is an online community dedicated to helping our members harness, leverage, and maximize the power and potential of LinkedIn and Social Selling to help scale their business. If you’re trying to: gain more visibility on LinkedIn enhance brand awareness generate more qualified leads for your business or earn more money through more effective networking Or if you’ve had difficulty: finding the right business strategy to leverage the power of LinkedIn seeing conversions coming from your endless efforts keeping up with all the new features and rapid changes that LinkedIn offers implementing previous learnings or trainings into profitable actions The TRIBE is the right place for you. I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “Richard, what makes this online community different from all the rest?” or “why did you even start this community?” Well, with Just Connecting, which I’ve run since 2009, I focused primarily on in-company training for enterprises and international organizations, not on individual entrepreneurs, freelancers, or other LinkedIn trainers. Almost 5 years ago, we stopped offering open training sessions, but I still get messages from my network of 50,000 LinkedIn followers looking for guidance, support, and ongoing training. I have now been able to support over 200,000 people with their personal brand, content strategy, and lead generation. Plus, as a member of an independent European think tank and initiator of several well-known studies, I have unique insights and knowledge. Why not share that knowledge with others? As a leader in the social selling space, it became clear that I could apply my expertise and passion towards helping a larger community of individuals looking to accelerate their network and growth on LinkedIn. That’s how The TRIBE was born. Richard van der Blom E-mail: richard@richardvanderblom.com
