Spending hours on LinkedIn but not seeing clients? Your content getting lost in the algorithm? Your comments disappear in the void? Competing with 10,000 other "experts" saying the same things? Let me fix that for you. Send me a message or email richard@richardvanderblom.com

WHO I AM
I'm Richard van der Blom, Dutch living with my Argentinian wife and German doodle in Spain. Pearl Jam, Padel and Gin-Tonic lover.

For 15 years, I've been obsessed with one question: what actually works on LinkedIn? Not theory. Not guesses. Data-backed strategy that turns visibility into revenue.

I've trained over 350,000 professionals. I've worked with 1,000+ companies across every B2B sector. My clients closed over €10 million in deals in 2025 alone using the systems I built for them.
I don't do surface-level tips. I run ongoing LinkedIn algorithm research, analyze millions of data points, and translate that into strategies entrepreneurs can execute without living on the platform.

WHY WORK WITH ME
Most LinkedIn "experts" regurgitate the same advice. I give you what 99.9% of them can't: data-driven insights before they become common knowledge. My Algorithm Insights Report is the industry standard—used by thought leaders, sales teams, and agencies worldwide.

I've keynoted at 100+ events and been rated Best Speaker in over 80% of my engagements. But I'm not just a stage performer. I build LinkedIn systems that work in the real world—for busy entrepreneurs who need results, not busywork.

WHAT I OFFER
🎤 Keynote Speaking – Insights that shift how your team thinks about LinkedIn strategy, authority, and lead generation
🔥 The TRIBE Community – Exclusive membership where 150+ entrepreneurs get early algorithm insights, mastermind sessions, and direct guidance
🚀 The Authority Accelerator – My 4-month VIP program for established entrepreneurs building predictable LinkedIn lead generation in under 30 minutes daily
📊 Algorithm Insights Report – The most comprehensive, research-backed LinkedIn playbook, updated 2-3 times yearly
🤝 Corporate Training – LinkedIn training for mid-to-large B2B companies via Just Connecting

THE RESULT
You'll stop guessing. You'll build authority that attracts clients instead of chasing them. You'll have a LinkedIn strategy that converts profile visitors into paying customers—consistently.

My clients don't just get more engagement. They close deals. They build funnels that grow on steroids. They become recognized authorities in their industries. No automation, no spam. Pure value.

He's a true master of a stage presentation and communication skills. Richard possesses the talent for making complex ideas accessible and compelling. He has the the ability to distill intricate concepts into clear, concise messages that resonate with our audience.

Most people using LinkedIn for sales are playing the wrong game.

They post consistently.
They comment daily.
They follow the "best practices."

And still — no DMs. No inbound. No pipeline.

Why?

Because they're optimizing for visibility when they should be optimizing for relevance.

They write for the algorithm instead of the buyer.
They chase impressions instead of conversations.
They measure likes instead of leads.

I've trained over 350,000 professionals on LinkedIn strategy. The pattern is always the same:

The ones who fail treat content like a megaphone.
The ones who win treat it like a magnet.

Megaphone thinking sounds like:
"How do I get more reach?"
"What time should I post?"
"How many hashtags work best?"

Magnet thinking sounds like:
"What question is my buyer typing into AI right now?"
"Does this post make someone want to talk to me?"
"Am I building trust or just building impressions?"

Social selling in 2026 isn't about being seen more.
It's about being remembered by the right people.

Your buyers aren't scrolling for entertainment.
They're scanning for someone who gets their problem.

If your content doesn't speak to that — you're invisible even with 10,000 views.

I put together a checklist with the 8 elements that actually drive visibility that converts.

Most entrepreneurs have different audiences in their email list. 
And they treat them like one.

A while back, I ran a promotion for a new workshop series. 
Good product. Decent list. One email campaign to everyone.

Results? Mediocre. Not what I expected. 
The kind of launch where you know the problem wasn't the product but the message hitting the wrong people in the wrong way.

So when I launched my Mastermind Sessions, I decided to do it differently.
Partly because I'd been going deep on AI tools lately. 
For months I have been testing what AI tools and solutions actually move the needle versus what just looks impressive in a demo. 

And somewhere in that process, I finally stopped skimming the surface of a tool I'd had for years. I'd been using ActiveCampaign as a basic email sender. 
Turns out I'd been sitting on a lot more than that.

I mapped my three audiences first. 
Then I built a separate sequence for each, using ActiveCampaign's Active Intelligence feature to identify which segments were most likely to convert before I even pressed send.

Here's how that worked for me:

Algorithm Report buyers 
→ Already trust my frameworks. They don't need convincing — they need depth. 
→ Sequence angle: "𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘺. 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳." 
→ Longer emails, case-study led, focused on transformation over time.

Newsletter subscribers 
→ Warm but uncommitted. High volume, lower purchase intent. 
→ Sequence angle: Social proof + urgency + a single, frictionless CTA. 
→ Shorter. Punchier. Hard deadline. No detours.

Existing clients 
→ They know me. They trust me. They deserved a personal touch first. 
→ Sequence angle: Early access framing, not a sales email. 
→ I manually tagged this group. The automation only fired after that tag. They converted at 3x the rate of the other lists.

What shifted the whole launch wasn't just better copy but knowing 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 segment to prioritise, what each group needed to hear, and when to send it. Active Intelligence flagged the highest-intent contacts across all three lists before I'd sent a single email.

Segmented campaigns generate up to 760% more revenue than batch-and-blast. That stat has been floating around for years. Most people nod at it and go back to sending the same email to everyone.

Your list isn't one audience. 
Stop emailing it like it is.

I've been using ActiveCampaign to build this out — if you want to explore it yourself, you can start a free trial here: https://lnkd.in/eNFhtBAT

Currently on 18,000 email subs, my goal for the end of 2026 is 50,000.
