CRM Consultant in Amsterdam

How I work with Amsterdam teams

Amsterdam's payments, SaaS and logistics companies tend to run structured B2B sales with long evaluations, while consumer brands need a CRM that behaves more like a customer database for email and retention. I design pipelines, lifecycle stages and lead scoring around how Dutch buyers research, which usually means more content before a sales conversation and a quick, direct reply once they ask. WhatsApp is part of everyday business communication in the Netherlands, so I connect it through HubSpot or an approved WhatsApp Business provider where customers prefer it, and log those conversations on the contact record. Company records use the KvK number to prevent duplicates, and I integrate accounting systems such as Exact Online where finance needs deal data. Under the AVG, as the GDPR is known locally, every contact carries a lawful basis and consent history, and every integration is covered by a verwerkersovereenkomst (processing agreement).

What’s included

• HubSpot audit with a prioritized fix list
• Lifecycle stage and lead status definitions, agreed with sales and automated
• Deal pipeline redesign with stage exit criteria and required properties
• Fit and engagement lead scoring with MQL thresholds and routing workflows
• Source tracking fixes: tracking code, UTM capture and campaign naming conventions
• Nurture and handoff workflows, documented with owners and goals
• Shared marketing and sales dashboard built on agreed definitions
• Data hygiene plan: deduplication, property cleanup and governance rules

The Amsterdam context

• Many companies use Amsterdam as their EU headquarters and launch from here into Germany, Belgium and France, so growth plans have to account for several languages and marketplaces rather than one domestic market.
• bol.com is the leading marketplace in the Netherlands and Flanders, and brands have to decide deliberately which products they sell there and which they keep exclusive to their own store.

Tracking and data collection follow GDPR (AVG), UAVG & Dutch Telecommunications Act. The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens actively checks websites for misleading cookie banners and does not accept cookie walls that block access unless visitors agree to tracking. I implement banners with an equally visible reject option and use server-side tagging so measurement survives realistic consent rates.
