The purpose of the LinkedIn for Alphas initiative is to enhance the visibility, credibility and impact of Alpha Phi Alpha brothers and chapters.
OUR TEAM
YB is the most gifted connector I've ever met. The relationships I've made as a result of his extensive knowledge and guidance have led to elevated visibility and lucrative business opportunities. He's dynamic, driven and detail-oriented. His experience, combined with his commitment to service excellence, makes YB an indispensable asset to any organization or team. As a result of using YB's LinkedIn Profile Makeover and Management service over the last two months, I was able to secure additional projects and revenue.

Rob is a dedicated and passionate professional who excels in connecting with others. His knowledge on LinkedIn and how to leverage it to not only connect with other professionals, but land internships/job opportunities is one of a kind. We had the privilege to have Rob come present to our student-athletes on LinkedIn and how they can use it to gain an advantage when aspiring to obtain internships/jobs. His presentation engaged over 60 student-athletes in their Junior year and the feedback has been nothing but positive since his departure. He has opened up the eyes of these young men and women that LinkedIn is more than just another form of "Social Media" we now have over 50% of our student-athletes active on LinkedIn. I recommend Rob to any student-athlete development directors/coordinators looking to bring this type of program to your campus.

I have been blessed to know YB over 20 years and have consistently watched him level up, persevere, grow and expand as a husband, father and business owner. As a speaker and coach, I understand how important it is to build relationships. Not only has YB taught me strategies on how to enhance those relationships, but also how to connect with my ideal client. My engagement and prospects have increased due to YB's training and coaching. As the Linkedin Locksmith and Number 1 Connector, he has also taught me strategies on being more visible and clear on my brand and messaging on Linkedin. He is passionate about facilitating valuable connections. I am super proud of YB's continued growth and success and look forward to him achieving all that he sets out to do!

Excellent graphical design elements and artistic acumen especially as it relates to the Florida Federation of Alpha Chapter's license plate design.

On my numerous projects and endeavors, YB is consistent in adding value to me as a consultant and speaker as he has improved my mindset and generating revenue through helping me to understand that opportunities are in abundance, and with LinkedIn, me as an individual, can improve my net worth which is a direct reflection of my relationships and network in that it can boost visibility, open new door, connect with great influencers, learning to track trends and move into a new market, and achieving stability in a changing world. YB is the consummate professional, who coaches and inspires clients in their achievement of personal goals and objectives. I strongly recommend YB and his LinkedIn coaching for anyone looking to increase visibility & new speaking engagements, promotion of personal & professional brand to secure employment, establish brand recognition and communicate the value of your brand using LinkedIn, and enhance networking efforts, attract more speaking engagements & gain an unfair advantage over competitors.

I have worked with Halston in various creative and business professional avenues, but as his client, he still managed to exceed my expectations. Halston continues to displays keen communication, professionalism, and artistry in his field. He values the client's experience more than anything, which naturally allows us to build a deep relationship. As a designer, he is intuitive, detail oriented, and quite charismatic. Instantly, he has become my go-to stop for designing services.

Rob "YB" is truly the LinkedIn Locksmith! I recently attended YB's LinkedIn Workshop for Entrepreneurs and while I feel pretty confident in my use of LinkedIn, I still learned so much from his presentation. Most of the insights that stuck with me were not in regards to his use of LinkedIn but his philosophy on personal branding and mindset. He really uses his gifts of connecting people and building communities for others to grow and learn. I highly recommend his services to any entrepreneur looking to grow.
Rob "YB" Youngblood is one of those exceptionally bright minds that will transform the business landscape of social media going forward. I have had the pleasure of attending his LinkedIn Profile Makeover session. This a must attend for all serious entrepreneurs looking to use LinkedIn as a way to generate business leads and convert those leads into revenue. YB is very hands-on and will walk you through the transformations as he gives you invaluable insight into the rationale & methodology of why and how we as entrepreneurs must approach LinkedIn.

I have gained a wealth of knowledge from Rob. After going through his LinkedIn training and making the suggested changes I could see immediate results. My profile views went up, I started to connect with the right people and I received a speaking gig 5 days after our last session based on the changes we made. Rob has helped my business grow and has helped me grow as a professional. I highly recommend his linkedIn services.
