He is back!

The power of believing in people: the story of Matthijs, who left as a sales manager and returned stronger than ever.

04 September 2025 -

"If you really believe in people, they come back. Stronger than ever."

“He’ll be back,” I said 3 years ago when Matthijs left.

He’s already closed multiple deals. After only 1 month back! 🔥

Matthijs was our very first sales manager in 2021. Our top scorer. But he wanted to develop as a project manager and left.

Everyone thought: too bad, but logical.

I stuck to it: “He’ll be back. Just you wait.”

2 months ago, my phone rang. Matthijs.

I answered with: “Are you coming back to work for us?”

“How did you know?” 😄

Sometimes you just know. Some people belong on your team. Period.

We haven’t changed, we’ve just become more professional. And gained 2 gray hairs 😉 And Matthijs? He’s grown, gained experience, and has now returned even stronger.

The beautiful thing about entrepreneurship?

If you truly believe in people, they come back. Stronger than ever.

Show me the magic in real life 🪄
