Calco

Calco is a Dutch IT company which specialises in the training and secondment of IT professionals. The Calco MasterClass is a 2 year trainee programme during which ‘high potentials’ amongst recent graduates are prepared for a position in the IT sector. This traineeship is unique, for it is competency-based; it is open to candidates who are ambitious, possess analytical and communicative skills and who do not necessarily have an IT background, but have completed a university or applied university degree.
During this 2 year programme I am offered in-depth specialist training for the first two months, subsequently leading to a challenging position with one of Calco’s client companies for the remaining 22 months. The first month of training consists of acquiring general IT knowledge. During the second month I will follow a specialisation course, which could be (but is not limited to) any of the following: information analyst, programmer, tester or junior project manager. After successfully completing all modules I am ready to put theory into practice at one of Calco’s prestigious client companies, which operate in a number of sectors such as banking and insurance, health care and industry. During these 22 months at a client company I will receive continuous coaching from my designated Calco field manager.
After successfully completing the entire trajectory I will be given the chance to fully transfer to the client company, making the Calco MasterClass the ideal kick start to my career.

The Navigators

My Naventure traineeship year at Navigators consists of getting personal training in leadership, character-building, communication, self-awareness and faith. These trainings are combined with local staff work in Rotterdam like coaching and mentoring student leaders, writing and presenting study material among students and organizing Christian events. Next to that I will work on the mission and vision of the Netwerk community nationwide. In addition, I will do fundraising to have an income. Because this work is unpaid I will live on gifts from monthly supporters.

It has become a critical part of my sales strategy and quickly became one of the parts that made me successful as a business developer.

VideoSpicer

In 2018 and 2019 I worked on a startup in interactive video. 

By giving viewers option in videos, we were able to show them content that requested and were able to measure a lot more information than with linear video. What do viewers want to see, how do they respond to questions/choices?

We created multiple interactive videos with companies such as:
- Libelle (Sanoma)
- Deloitte
- Maag, Lever & Darm Stichting
- Erasmus MC

I generated these deals through my own LinkedIn strategy, which helped to create awareness and interest for new technology, and opened doors through my network that would otherwise remain closed.

Due to the complex nature of the software and the early stage of development, we did have problems in production.

So, at one point I was forced to the decision: Do I focus on the interactive video enterprise, or focus on the part of the business that was going very well: the LinkedIn lead generation part.

As you can see, I chose to focus on LinkedIn. 

Do you want to generate more business out of your growing LinkedIn network as well? Just send me a message through the LinkedIn chat!

I help your organization more impact, through LinkedIn. You will find Earthy Adopters in your industry/region | Build a world changing community | Turn your network into ambassadors, clients and partners

"You have an amazing, sustainable solution, but the market is moving too slowly. That's exactly where I help - by finding the early adopters who are craving your CleanTech innovation.

With my team, I help scale-ups and companies in CleanTech and ClimateTech use LinkedIn to find their first customers, transform their market, and accelerate their impact. Because only by finding the right early adopters can we together accelerate the transition to a cleaner planet.
When clients work with us, we help them achieve:

- 3-5x faster adoption of their sustainable technology
- A network of active ambassadors who carry their innovation forward
- Direct access to decision-makers who are truly committed to sustainability

The climate crisis demands ACTION. But too many valuable cleantech innovations remain unused because they can't find the right early adopters. That needs to change.

Our mission? Building bridges between sustainable frontrunners and the organizations that need their solutions NOW. Through proven social selling strategies, we ensure your innovation makes the impact it deserves.

Proud to work with:
🌱 InterSystems
🌱 Circle Economy
🌱 BlueCity
And many other sustainable gamechangers.
