When to bring me in

When the work can't wait

Someone is off sick

The work carries on while a colleague is away. I cover until they're back.

It's temporarily too busy

A spike in enquiries, a campaign or a hectic season. I absorb the extra load without you having to hire.

There's a backlog

Unanswered emails, open quotes or a pile of data entry. I clear it in a structured way.

How I work

Clear and quickly arranged

  1. 1

    Get acquainted

    A short call about your situation, what needs doing and what you expect from me.

  2. 2

    Clear agreements

    We agree on tasks, hours, rate, system access and how I report back — all upfront.

  3. 3

    Get to work

    I start right away and keep you posted on hours and progress.

I work remotely in your own CRM, mailbox and phone system. On-site work is possible by arrangement.

About me

At home in business conversations

My background is in B2B account management in IT. I'm used to talking with business customers, following up on quotes and looking after client relationships — even when things get busy.

With me, you deal directly with the person doing the work. No agency, no middlemen: short lines and one point of contact.

FAQ

Good to know

What does it cost?

My rate starts at €40 an hour, excluding VAT. After our intro call you'll get a proposal with the tasks, hours and exact rate.

Which days and hours are you available?

Up to 25 hours a week, scheduled flexibly: during office hours and, by arrangement, evenings or weekends.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Remotely by default, in your own systems. On-site work is possible by arrangement.

How do you access our systems?

You set up a personal account for me in your CRM, mailbox and phone system, so you stay in control of permissions and access.

How long can I hire you for?

That's up to you — from a one-off job of a few days to support over several weeks or months with fixed hours.

How do we put the arrangement in writing?

We record tasks, hours, rate and reporting in a written engagement confirmation. I invoice per period based on hours worked.

Which languages do you work in?

Dutch and English, both on the phone and in writing.

How do you handle confidential information?

With care. I use data only for the assignment, never share it with third parties, and I'm happy to sign an NDA.
