Hello, I’m Daan. I create sustainable growth for SaaS and eCommerce.

 I love startups. And I’m passionate about accelerating growth. So I decided to combine these things. Hence my experience in startup environments working with growth strategies that address acquisition, conversion optimization and retention. I’m energetic, eager to learn and always up for a challenge.

Some of my favorite tools:
(WordPress (Divi) – ActiveCampaign – Buffer – Hunter.io – Phantombuster – Zapier – Lumen5 – ManyChat – Hotjar – LemList – Calendly – LinkedIn ads – Dux Soup – Typeform – Google Tag Manager and Analytics – Salesflare

My vision for growth

Helping companies on their quest to growth is something I get thrilled about. Not one startup is the same or has the same budget to work with which makes creativity often a necessity.

I love to be creative. 

Creating a successful product or a service isn’t the hard part of a startups success. It all comes down to:
“Make something people want.” – Paul Graham, Y Combinator.

Getting traction is the real problem.

We live in an information era and a wealth of information creates a poverty in attention.

It’s why traditional marketing channels are saturated and that’s a fact. As a startup, you need to have the mindset not to outbid but outsmart your competitors.

Growth isn’t about knowing which strategies will work, it’s about getting your hands dirty and execute. Testing all of your assumptions and doubling down on the things that work for your company.

I believe marketing is a process

I experiment and evaluate

I refine and optimize

I scale and build

Define

Its essential to define your buyer personas. Even better if you interview them in person.

Design

Select the marketing channels and stage of the funnel you want to optimize and tailor it to your audience.

Refine

Evaluate, refine and repeat. This process weeds out the good from the bad.

Scale

Scale the experiments that work and cut down on the failed experiments.
