Sales in Apeldoorn

Apeldoorn is an office city with an industrial edge. Achmea and Centraal Beheer are based here, the Dutch tax administration has a major site, and a dense ICT and data layer sits around them. Logistics occupies the Ecofactorij estate on the A1 and A50. Dcraft Of Sales works remote-first here on selling into procurement organizations that think in frameworks and lead times.

No list of offices — just honesty: we work remote-first and come on-site where it truly matters, by plane if that is what it takes. Travel costs are charged on.

The market

Apeldoorn is one of the larger cities in the eastern Netherlands, and its jobs are strikingly concentrated in a few kinds of employer: insurers such as Achmea, Centraal Beheer and Zilveren Kruis, and public delivery organizations including the tax administration. That concentration has created a supplier market of its own: IT firms, data specialists, staffing agencies, consultants and facilities providers that largely serve those same organizations. Alongside it sits an industrial and logistics side: the Ecofactorij lies at the A1/A50 junction with its own fiber, gas and renewable electricity networks, Stadhoudersmolen is aimed at local SMEs in engineering, trade and services, and Malkenschoten is a mixed estate. Two economies in one city, with very different buying reflexes.

The sales reality here

Selling to insurers and public delivery organizations means selling to a process. There is a framework agreement, a supplier list, a security review, and a lead time that outlasts most salespeople's patience — and if you only appear when the tender opens, you are too late. The second risk is specific to Apeldoorn: many local suppliers depend on those same few large employers, so a single reorganization or one expiring framework hits the whole chain at once. We aim outbound at the months before a tender, at the department that has the problem, make sure several contacts are established, and build a second stream outside the city alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

  • We supply insurers and the tax administration. Procurement decides everything.

    Procurement decides the terms, not the need. The difference is made in the months before a tender opens, at the department that owns the problem. We aim outbound there and make sure several contacts are established: one champion changing jobs is a recurring reason deals disappear in this city.

  • We are on the Ecofactorij estate and sell logistics capacity.

    Then you sell something your neighbor also has, along the same highway. The first question we ask is which flows actually suit your operation and which you are better off letting go. Then we aim outbound at shippers matching that profile. Selling capacity without a profile mostly produces requests you did not want to win anyway.

  • Almost all our clients are in Apeldoorn itself. Is that a risk?

    Yes, and a specific one: many local suppliers depend on the same few large employers, so a single reorganization or one expiring framework hits the entire chain at once. Alongside that local base we build a second stream, usually within the wider Stedendriehoek region and along the A1 toward Deventer and Twente.
