Co-owner @ Afosto | Helping retailers succeed using SaaS | Chairman @ Sanwin Beachwear | Pilot @ KLM | Kitesurfer

Hi, I'm Sander, a SaaS entrepreneur and pilot with over 5 years of experience in co-owning and growing a software company, Afosto, that helps retailers succeed using smart and scalable software solutions. I'm also the co-founder of Sanwin Beachwear, an exclusive beachwear brand for men, and a first officer at KLM, flying Boeing 737 aircrafts across Europe and beyond.

I'm passionate about creating value for my clients, partners, and customers, and seeing them achieve their business goals and reach new heights. 

I have a knack for online marketing, e-commerce, and investments, and I enjoy learning and sharing insights on these topics. 

When I'm not in the cockpit or the boardroom, I love to explore the world, kitesurf, and camp in my van. I'm always open to connect and exchange ideas with like-minded people, so feel free to reach out to me. 

Let's embark on an exciting journey together!

WHAT I DO
I help B2B companies build modern sales engines — combining AI-powered outbound automation with audience-led inbound growth.

WHO I WORK WITH
I work directly with Founders, CXOs, and Heads of Sales who want to:

Replace manual prospecting with scalable sales workflows

Build awareness and credibility with their ideal buyers

Turn sales into a system, not a struggle

HOW I DO IT
At HubCredo, we design and implement two core growth systems:

AI Sales Automation – We set up and manage custom outbound workflows using tools like Clay, n8n, GPT, and LinkedIn/email sequences.

Audience & Demand Engine – We help you stay top-of-mind with consistent LinkedIn content, multi-channel outreach, and inbound triggers that attract qualified buyers.

The result? A predictable sales pipeline — with fewer bottlenecks and better conversations.

Let’s connect if you’re scaling and want your sales process to scale with you.

AI didn’t remove sales from building a business. 
It removed the busy work. 

If you’ve never sold before, here’s a setup that actually works: 
  - Find a tight ICP (Apollo) 
  - Add real context automatically (Clay) 
  - Let automation handle the flow (n8n) 

Now your only job is simple: Send a few thoughtful messages daily with a clear micro-offer. 

No pitching. No scripts. Just showing up consistently. 

That’s how non-sales founders book their first calls.

Founder & CEO at HubCredo 🛠️ | Startup & GTM Advisor 📈 | I build automated workflows for growing companies 🚀

A few months ago, I asked a client a simple question:
“Why is your team still doing this by hand?”

Their answer:
“We never realized how much time we were burning… until we stopped.” 

And honestly, it’s a fair question.

Once we automated their outbound workflow — lead research, enrichment, messaging, and outreach — everything changed. Campaigns launched faster. Reps got their time back. Pipeline started moving again.
And they’re not the only ones.

Across nearly every team we speak to, the same issues show up:
• Closers buried in research instead of selling
• Campaigns delayed because ops + sales aren’t synced
• Pipeline dips leading to more hiring instead of smarter systems
• Manual tasks eating hours every single week

This is where AI stops being a “cool tool” and becomes a real operational upgrade.

What changes when AI runs your outbound:
• Lead lists update in real time
• Personalization scales automatically
• Reps jump in only when there’s intent
• New markets/ICPs can be tested in days

If you’re still relying on spreadsheets, VAs, or brute-force outreach…
you’re not just behind the curve.

You’re paying extra to stay there.

Most lead gen issues aren’t copy problems — they’re data problems.
You can run great sequences, but if they hit the wrong people, nothing moves.

Founders often go broad, but wide targeting burns your limits fast:
LinkedIn caps your outreach.
Cold email caps your sends.

Your domain reputation only survives so many bad leads.

When you fix the database, everything changes:
• No wasted touchpoints
• Segments convert better
• ROI climbs
• Your message finally lands

Lead gen isn’t about sending more — it’s about sending smarter.

The real advantage?
Knowing exactly who you’re speaking to and why they care right now.

People keep saying AI “saves time.”
But saving time doesn’t matter if your team just fills it with… more low-value work.

That’s the gap I see inside most B2B teams:
They automate a task, but they don’t upgrade the output of the team.

So the real question isn’t:
“What can we automate?”

It’s:
“What will we do with the time automation gives us?”

Before automating anything, here’s the simple test we use with clients:
• If this task vanished tomorrow, what high-impact work could replace it?
• Is it repetitive, predictable, and done at scale?
• Does it bottleneck revenue or create it?

If the answer is “yes” to all three, AI shouldn’t just automate it —
it should unlock your team to do work that actually moves the business.

Automation isn’t the win.
Using the leverage it creates is.

Most founders get their first clients through referrals.
It’s organic. It’s exciting.
But eventually it caps your growth.

Even businesses doing 6+ figures hit this wall.

You want predictable revenue, but ads feel pricey, hiring feels risky, and the next step isn’t obvious.

Here’s the good news: scaling doesn’t require big budgets anymore.
It requires systems.

With the right automations, even small teams can:
 → Bring in leads consistently
 → Qualify and nurture them
 → Book meetings automatically

It’s scalable, efficient, and frees you to focus on actually growing the business.

If you’re past the referral stage and ready for a predictable pipeline, automation might be your next move.

Most teams push out content and hope something lands.
But the real win is delivering the right content at the right moment.

Buyers are drowning in information.
Anything generic, salesy, or irrelevant gets ignored instantly.

The best content doesn’t push — it meets people where they already are.

Look at how Nike uses real customer stories or how BuzzFeed engages millions with simple interactive quizzes.
Relevance builds trust. Interaction builds connection.

Good content isn’t a pitch.
It’s a conversation that feels timely, personal, and worth having.

Most people treat “no” like the end of a sales conversation.
But it’s often the moment the real conversation starts.

I used to panic when a prospect pushed back.
Now? I see “no” as a signal to slow down, listen, and uncover what’s actually blocking the deal.

When people feel safe saying “no,” they stop guarding themselves—and start telling you the truth.

So don’t rush the yes.
Let the “no” surface the real objections.
That’s where the breakthroughs happen.

Your perfectly written email won’t matter if it’s sent to the wrong person.

I’ve watched teams obsess over copy, subject lines, messaging, tone, only to send it to a CRM full of outdated contacts.

People change jobs.
Companies shut down.
Emails bounce.
Titles are wrong.

It’s basically sending a polished message to empty houses.

That’s why “data quality” can’t be an occasional cleanup, it has to be continuous.

With tools like Clay for live enrichment, Apollo for verification, and n8n for automated updates, your CRM stays fresh without the quarterly scramble.

The lesson?
Great outreach doesn’t start with clever copy.

It starts with clean, trustworthy data.

Content is the paint.
Data is the foundation.

Fix the data, and every message performs better.
Ignore it, and no copywriter can save you.

For years, the growth playbook was straightforward:
add more reps, get more leads, drive more revenue.

Books like Predictable Revenue and The Sales Acceleration Formula shaped that model, but they were built for a different era.

Today, the landscape has changed.

We have smarter tools, richer data, AI-driven personalization, automated sequencers, and intent signals telling us exactly when a prospect is ready.

But the real challenge?
Too much automation feels cold.
Too little leaves your team buried in manual work.

The teams winning today think like engineers:
 • Automate the repetitive
 • Scale what works
 • Keep the human moments human

When your sales engine is built as a system, not just a headcount strategy—revenue growth becomes inevitable.

The future isn’t hiring more people.
It’s empowering the people you already have with smarter systems.
