Offering The Wow-Experience


If you are triggered by customer experiences I challenge you to join our Sales Academy. An ordinary satisfied customer is not enough anymore. To achieve sustainable, successful customer relationships, it is necessary to exceed customer expectations.

The behavior of really satisfied and enthusiastic customers is more positive than ‘just’ satisfied customers. Customers have expectations. Fulfill expectations and you have a satisfied customer, but they will not be exceptional satisfied! By searching for hidden and unknown needs, it is possible to exceed expectations. It all has to do with the famous moments of truth and their wow-experience.

Offering a genuine Wow-experience is personalized and depends on the sensibility of the employees. These are often small details in contacts with the customer.

Challenge the moment to convert memorable experiences and moments of enthusiasm. Are you ready to take the challenge?

Hope to meet you soon.


Henri Vlassak


In past times I had (sales) meetings in December. The first impression often is that by the end of the year it’s very busy. True or false? It depends on which side you’re on.

My experience is that our customers (B2B&B2C) are occupied with their own organizations: making reports, closing the year and setting their minds on the holidays. That includes family issues preparing for Christmas.
I admit, in The Netherlands we also have “Sinterklaas” which is an important children’s feast in December. So that is double trouble.

That means our sales team face problems to get appointments in December because their prospects/customers have other things on their minds!

So, sign in for our masterclasses in December to find some reflection time, get motivated and improve your business plans for 2017!

This could be 7 or 9 December or perhaps Tuesday 13th and Thursday 15th. It’s your call to invest in better results.
