Hi everyone! I’m Folkert, based near Rotterdam / The Hague in The Netherlands.
After 17 years in B2B sales and leadership, I’m starting out as an independent business development consultant for B2B SMBs and scale-ups in the Netherlands, mainly manufacturing, engineering and IT.
I know the sales side well: pipeline, closing, building and coaching teams. Now I’m learning the GTM engineering side, so I can build the engine that that does the groundwork. Just finished Clay 101 and I’ve applied for the Outbound Orchestration cohort.
My first two clients need builds for a mental health platform for expats (targeting HR teams and relocation agencies) and a voice-over artist (targeting production companies and e-learning agencies).
Two questions for the community:
🔹 Anyone else here from the Netherlands? Haven't found a clay club in NL yet. Happy to grab a coffee.
🔹 Tips for building in Clay with Dutch/EU data sources (KvK, IND, local job boards, GDPR-proof outreach)? Would love to hear what works for you.
Looking forward to learning from you all!
