Hi there visitor! 👋

My name is Frederic, I'm one of the three Paperbox cofounders! 

At Paperbox we believe technology should improve the way people interact and nobody is just a number. 

That's why we are building the insurance mailroom of the future. 

💥 Think about the impact you can make for your clients and employees, doing things differently. Better.

🙋 About me? 
I value integrity, trust and transparency. 
I believe in the win-win as the foundation of a sustainable relationship. 

I'm hosting a podcast called Efficiency Engineers, where I ask: "Is there a better way?"

In this podcast, I interview leaders in insurance that challenge the industry's notorious reputation of being slow-to-change and inefficient.

🌐 AMweb 𝗔𝗠𝗱𝗮𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹: the NL insurance industry is accelerating. 🇳🇱

Great conversations, sharp perspectives, and a lot of energy around where our industry is heading.
For the first time, we brought our 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 to the event in primeur, and it sparked some truly interesting discussions.

The report brings together the views of four respected leaders, covering
🔹 The dynamics of a fast-changing market
🔹 How people and technology shape tomorrow’s insurer
🔹 Evolving customer expectations
🔹 The operational reality behind consolidation

If you missed it:

🔍 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀.

In conversations with insurers over the past month, one theme keeps coming back: we still talk about automation as if its main purpose is saving time. But the real value lies somewhere deeper.

Yes, automation speeds up processes. But what it truly delivers is trust.
🔹 Trust from 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 who get faster, clearer answers.
🔹 Trust from 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 who can focus on meaningful work instead of repetitive tasks.
🔹 Trust from 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 when compliance is embedded into the workflow instead of checked afterwards.

When you look at automation through that lens, your 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 shifts as well.

It’s no longer measured in minutes saved, but in 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Efficiency is an outcome.
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗢𝗜 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

💰 Let’s stop calling customer experience “a soft KPI”. It’s one of 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗢𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

McKinsey & Company’s research is crystal clear: Insurers that lead in CX don’t just have happier customers,
they deliver 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 than their peers.
A few insights that stood out:

1️⃣ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁.
Keeping a customer is significantly cheaper than acquiring one.
Improving CX in a few key interactions increases loyalty and lifetime value. That effect compounds over time.
2️⃣ 𝗖𝗫 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲.
When customers trust your process (faster quotes, clearer updates, consistent follow-up) they buy more, churn less, and recommend faster. That’s is not sentiment, it’s revenue.
3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗢𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗲𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁..
McKinsey shows that the biggest gains come when the back office becomes predictable:
fewer errors, fewer handovers, less waiting, more clarity. Fix the engine, and the customer journey fixes itself.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
👉 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗥𝗢𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲.

🌐 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲

Insurers and brokers increasingly choose one of two paths:
1️⃣ 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲
to gain scale, negotiate strength, and industrialize operations.
2️⃣ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆
to win on expertise, trust, and differentiated service.

But here’s the real tension:
𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

Both strategies only work when they meet in the middle:
👉 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.
Because in the end, the market won’t reward size or niche on their own.
It will reward those who can 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆.

As the founder of Tsjirpa, a bespoke consultancy specializing in pricing strategy for growth scale-ups, I bring over two decades of strategic and operational expertise to the forefront of business scaling and market adaptation. My journey through cybersecurity, marketing tools, customs solutions, and telecom comes together in a genuine expertise for innovating pricing and packaging design that truly reflects the value of offerings and propels companies forward.

At Tsjirpa, we diverge from traditional pricing consultancy by focusing on empowering teams rather than prescribing solutions. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that understanding and mastering pricing is a crucial skill set for founders and their teams. It's not merely about setting prices but evolving them alongside your business to continuously capture and communicate the inherent value of your offerings. This approach ensures our clients are equipped to refine their strategies, enhancing their products, services, and market positioning for sustainable growth.

While my work with Tsjirpa is at the heart of my professional endeavors, my roles as a Growth Engineer Consultant at Scaleup Vlaanderen and a Growth Engineer at Sirris complement this by offering a broader perspective on scale-up challenges like internationalisation and internal scaling. These roles enrich my consultancy work, allowing me to draw upon a wide array of experiences and insights when advising clients on pricing strategies that are not only effective but also integral to their long-term vision and success.

In essence, Tsjirpa is dedicated to transforming pricing practices from a static necessity into a dynamic asset, ensuring high-growth scale-ups not only survive but thrive in their respective markets

Maarten Laruelle

Customer Success is one of those things that sounds simple until you try to scale it.

Initially founders do it themselves. Then you hire someone. Then suddenly you have 50+ customers, 2 CSMs, and no idea if you're being proactive or just firefighting.

On December 11, Scaleup Flanders brings together three practitioners who've actually built and scaled CS teams to help you figure this out:
→ Nieves Canada, who's led CS and Revenue at companies from pre-seed to Series D 
→ Jeroen Borloo (Rookoo), 8+ years of CS at Clarabridge and Qualtrics 
→ Jeremy De Clercq (Sensolus), building CS for IoT asset tracking at scale

Not theory. Real frameworks, real mistakes, real solutions.
As always are the deep dives meant to be interactive and actionable.
