“Ewoud helped us find impactful retention funnel improvements with a framework suited to our business model. He challenged our approach with the right questions.”
Christoph van der Klaauw
“Ewoud has helped me well in identifying the biggest challenges of my business. By listening carefully and asking the right questions, I realized that the biggest 'problems' I thought were hindering growth are not the issue.”
Max Savonije
“The sessions were very useful in dissecting our key KPIs (Revenue and CLV) into the underlying metrics and their interrelationships. By building KPI trees and customer journeys, I gained insight into the types of drivers that can accelerate certain growth.”
Jesper Elders
“Ewoud's lightning-fast strategic and creative thinking, systematic approach, and enthusiasm make his methods both fun and valuable. Despite our marketing experience, Ewoud provided fresh insights and practical tips for each funnel step through his probing questions.”
