About Mickup

A new business owner from Bergen op Zoom

Mickup is a sole trader in formation. One person, no team. A deliberate choice for a business built on people and connections rather than on technology.

Why I do this

I grew up in Bergen op Zoom and I am based here. In conversations with business owners across the region I kept hearing the same thing: there is more to be gained from the business, but nobody knows who to turn to. Whoever you call is mainly selling their own service.

That is where my work sits. I build nothing and I run no marketing. I make contact, ask questions and recognise the real problem behind a request. Then I search my network for the party that has demonstrably solved it before.

What I am good at

Making contact and asking the right questions. Seeing, within an hour, the difference between what someone asks for and what someone needs. That is a different trade from building software, and that is exactly why the combination works.

Honest about the start

Mickup has only just begun. I am not going to pretend there are ten years of experience and a hundred clients behind it. What that means for you: plenty of attention, no waiting list, short lines and an honest answer if I cannot help you.

What I do not do

  • Build or develop anything myself.
  • Run marketing myself.
  • Pretend I can do everything or have seen it all before.
  • Work exclusively for one supplier.

Three promises

What you may hold me to

01

Independent

I supply nothing myself. That is why I can tell you honestly that you need something other than you thought. I never work exclusively for one party.

02

A maximum of two options

No list of ten agencies for you to work through. A choice of no more than two parties, with the reasoning why they are the right fit.

03

Transparent

The specialist pays me a fee when an assignment follows. I say so in our first conversation, not in the small print.

Next step

A sales-free conversation of 45 minutes, and you know where you stand

Call or send a message. I listen, ask questions and tell you honestly whether I have the right person for you. A reply within one working day.
