Sales executive at Let's Book, after four years at Sloepdelen, from the dock to the office. The articles are about getting more out of the boats you have: prices, add-ons, discount codes and social media.

From the dock to sales

In 2022 I started on the dock at Sloepdelen in Amsterdam: handing out boats, welcoming customers, and tying everything up again at the end of the day. In the same years I had BT Online, a small company that helped business owners with their social media and their website. So the social media tips in my articles are ones I tried out myself.

Later I moved to the Sloepdelen office: business customers and private ones, organizing events, and keeping the books. I also trained new colleagues, guided the dock crew and hired new staff. Four summers of seeing how a rental company really runs, and where your time goes as an operator.

In those same years I studied nautical business management at the IVA Business School in Driebergen. My graduation internship was at Sloepdelen, with a study inside the company.

Since the summer of 2026 I work in sales at Let's Book. I guide rental companies, tour operators and charters from the first contact to the day they go live. And what I write here, as the dock sheriff, about prices, add-ons and discount codes comes from those four summers, and from the operators I talk with.
