Customer Collective

Customer Collective helps companies to build strong relationships centered around their most important growth asset: their customer. 

We call it ‘Customer Ownership’. 

The end customer is at the heart of every activity, including identifying its needs, the creation of products and services to fulfill those needs, building customer experiences, and developing relationships through up- and cross-selling and tackling the churn. 

This calls for a unique combination of strategy, digital, technology, data, and branding & performance. Customer Collective focuses on five building blocks and therefore joins the forces of The House of Marketing, Upthrust, Dignify, Fightclub, addData, SalesX, and Webworks. 

Unlike other ecosystems existing in the European market, the companies work closely together. For each project, they select the best profiles with complementary expertise and skills to have the best possible impact.

Als jonkie wilde ik altijd al naar Bellewaerde. Iets met dat logo en die leeuw (geboren in augustus '86, weet je wel).

En dat “Bellewaeeerde, Bellewaeeeerde”-deuntje speelde altijd in mijn hoofd.
Ook toen ik ernaartoe reed. 
(Ken je dat nog?)

Maar mijn papa zei altijd: “Kom jongen, we gaan naar Bobbejaanland. Dichterbij en even leuk.”
Ik was even happy, uiteraard. Mooie herinneringen.

En nu, jaren later, sta ik eindelijk in Bellewaerde.
Nog steeds niet voor de rollercoasters, maar voor een reeks incompany trainingen.

Om de collega's te tonen hoe kleine acties als team mega-effect kunnen hebben. En hoe zo 5% van de mensen kan zorgen voor 35% van de zichtbaarheid.

Komend seizoen (als het park open is) kom ik nog eens terug. Papa gaat mee.
Ahh, de nostalgie.

De salesmanager zuchtte. “Waarom reageert niemand op mijn posts? Is mijn timing fout? Mijn inhoud niet interessant?"

Hij dacht dat het puur een contentprobleem was.
En deels klopt dat.

Want als je post, heb je eigenlijk twee judges:
1) Het algoritme
2) Je netwerk/publiek

Het algoritme straft je als je:
❌ Alleen maar promo doet (en dus geen waarde deelt)
❌ Linkjes in je copy blijft proppen
❌ Slides deelt die niemand uitkijkt
❌ Video’s deelt waar mensen na een paar seconde al afhaken
❌ Je zelf nooit reageert op anderen

Maar liefde van je netwerk blijven krijgen is de fuel van je post. 
Soms blijft je post daardoor weken leven.

En dat begint bij je 1e-graadsnetwerk.
➡️ Daar liep het fout bij die salesmanager.

Zijn connecties? Overwegend niet zijn ideale doelgroep.
Teveel mensen uit een vorig leven, andere sector. Geen interesse in zijn content.

Logisch dat zijn posts wegzakten. Hij sprak tegen de verkeerde zaal.

💡 Mijn advies (ook voor jou):
Vul je zaal ook proactief met de juiste mensen.
Mensen die iets hebben aan jouw inzichten.

👉 Beeld je in: jij staat op een podium. Micro in de hand.
 Wie wil je dan voor je hebben de komende maanden?

"Ik heb voor de eerste keer 50K views met 1 post." Screenshot van zaakvoerder Celine Van Geyt in mijn inbox.

Even kaderen:
Haar profiel: top 1% in haar sector.
Haar netwerk: 2.500 connecties, bewust uitgebreid met de juiste mensen.
Content: post 1x/week. Van braaf/promo → naar educational met personal storytelling.

Ze was euforisch. Vooral dat het zo snel ging.

En ja, je denkt misschien:
"Maar ze heeft zoveel connecties… ik niet?"
"Ze post elke week, ik niet"?

Goed. Wanneer je post, heb je 2 judges die je bereik bepalen:
1) het algoritme
2) je netwerk / publiek

Beide hebben impact op je bereik.

Dus je hebt bv. 1.000 connecties:
 ▪ 25% van je totaal aantal connecties (dus 250 impressies) = ok.
 ▪ 50% = good
 ▪ 100% = pro
 ▪ meer dan 100% = next-level

Veel concurrentie op je topics? Dan moet je anders opvallen om je bereik te pakken.
→ Durf niche. Zelfs als heel België over Peppol post, kan jij, zoals zij, nog een originele insteek vinden.

Ruikt je post naar promo? Dan zakt je bereik.
 → Ga van promo naar educational. 

Hoe groter je following (+5K), hoe uitdagender het wordt om sterke ratio’s te halen.
 → Wie wil je echt in je zaal?

En ja, veel views halen zal je triggeren.
Je krijgt goesting om vaker te posten.
Mag alleen nooit je doel worden.

Ik had laatst een “mindere” post.
Doel = traffic naar landingpage (promo), dus minder views.
Maar wel 5 inschrijvingen voor een workshop.

Zelfs als je "de regels" niet volgt:
Je doet wat anderen niet doen. Je post. Je behoort tot de top 5%.

Als je enige doel viraal gaan is, verlies je.
Als je doel conversaties en impact is, win je.

Ik zie nog teveel profielen zonder concrete projecten. Daarom 5 voorbeelden die je meteen kan toevoegen.

Neem ondernemer Kobe Veyfeyken.
Organiseerde een klantenevent. Binnenkort opnieuw. Hij zet dat als project met link naar de aftermovie.

Founder Bianca Huygelen.
Een concrete klantencase waar ze méér van wil. Niet enkel wat ze deden, maar het resultaat dat ze neerzetten.

Tasso Limneos organiseerde disruptive Alpaca & Choco jobdagen voor zijn bedrijf.
Van concept. Tot hires. Top employer branding.
Persbericht erbij → extra context, extra bewijs.

Topboxer Michiel Partoens:
Zette een strategische brand collaboration op poten. Show the world.

En Vincenzo Bongiorno:
Partnership opgezet met KRC Genk & Stad Genk. Media erbij. Toont zijn brand alliance en lange-termijn-impact.

(Nog? Check die van mij op mijn profiel: onder de sectie werkervaring)

Je bezoekers met intentie willen bewijs van jouw impact. En projecten geven die context.

En ja, je denkt misschien:
“Wie leest die projecten zelfs?”
Klopt. 90% scrolt voorbij.
Maar die andere 10% niet.
Precies voor hen doe je het.
Niet voor iedereen.

💡 Hoe voeg je projecten toe?
Knop 'Profielonderdeel toevoegen' > 'Aanbevolen' > 'Projecten'

Dus van jou. Je team. Je bedrijf. Klein, groot. 
👉 Welke realisaties wil je dat je ideale bezoeker ziet?
