In this episode of The Fearless Business Podcast, Robin Waite talks to public speaker, business strategist, and podcast host Adam Strong. In this episode, Adam shares his process for building a tribe and how to get them to invest in your product/service eventually.
According to Adam, a tribe is different to communities and pockets of people. In essence, tribes are marketeers and advocates for your business. They are people that fully support entrepreneurs for their value and resonate with how it aligns with their own.
You can find tribes both internally and externally. For example, internal tribes can be found within your company, such as team members or ambassadors, whilst external tribes can be found through the likes of social media such as Facebook communities.
Adam believes there are three types of members within a tribe:
The best way to ensure that a tribe is successful is leveraging people from the relationships entrepreneurs have built rather than viewing everyone as competitors.
The key is to put ego aside and instead be patient. Building a strong tribe can take time. In Adam’s case, it took at least a couple of years before he built solid relationships with influential entrepreneurs. He takes his relationship with Marshall Goldsmith as an example. By taking the time over a two-year period to get to know and respect Marshall, Marshall now gets involved with Adam’s summits which he promotes to 1.3 million followers on his LinkedIn.
Of course, building these relationships took a lot of time on Adam’s part, but in terms of the exposure and outreach he gets for his brand, the time taken was absolutely worth it. Ultimately, entrepreneurs need to build a solid foundation within their tribes before they intend to gain any benefits from it. You can’t just go up to people and expect stuff; good things come to those who wait!
In order to maximise a tribes profitability, Adam advises that entrepreneurs must give back to their tribe members rather than solely focusing on recruiting new ones.
Finding new people to join a new community and/or tribe is exhausting and can take an incredible amount of time and effort. So why not consider building upon the relationships that are already there and get previous clients to reinvest? This can be done through the likes of:
Keeping clients warm is a sure-fire way of building continuous support for your brand and builds upon profitability as you are increasing the chances of clients reinvesting in your products once more.
Adam’s NEW book “Play The Game” comes out in October!
