Sales in Schiedam
Schiedam is small and heavily industrial at once. On the Wilhelminahaven, Huisman and Mammoet build offshore structures and heavy lifting equipment; in Nieuw-Mathenesse the distillers Nolet and De Kuyper and the O-I glassworks set the tone; and the Spaanse Polder holds a dense layer of suppliers. Dcraft Of Sales works remote-first here on high-ticket closing for deals measured in years.
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
Three chains overlap in Schiedam. The maritime manufacturing industry on the Wilhelminahaven sells projects to shipowners, EPC contractors and energy companies, in processes measured in years where engineering often leads the conversation. Around it lies the Spaanse Polder, a sprawling urban business estate that runs on across the municipal boundary with Rotterdam, holding hundreds of machining, coating, electrical and equipment-rental firms that nearly all supply those same OEMs. And in Nieuw-Mathenesse sits the spirits chain, historically tied to jenever, which earns most of its revenue abroad through importers and distributors. Three chains, three buying processes — and one shared trait: revenue depends on a small number of parties.
The sales reality here
What Schiedam companies have in common is that they run on someone else's pipeline. The supplier tracks the order book of two yards; when that dips, so does theirs, and purchasing has long since been centralized. The manufacturers themselves sell technically complex projects in which commercial ownership is diffuse: engineering talks to engineering and nobody steers the decision. And the spirits houses effectively have importers do their selling. In all three cases the work starts with the same question: what are we actually selling, beyond capacity? After that we build a pipeline that does not hang on one customer, with a CRM that remembers a two-year process.

Frequently asked questions
-
We supply two yards on the river. How do we broaden that?
Not by sending the same quotation to more yards. The first step is establishing what you actually sell: capacity, or a piece of know-how only a few companies have. Then we look for the buyers who pay for that — often outside shipbuilding, in offshore, energy or heavy transport, where the same operation is worth something quite different.
-
Our sales cycle runs two years. Does a Sales Diagnosis fit that?
Yes, because in a two-year cycle every month spent on the wrong deal counts double. The diagnosis looks at what happens during those two years: where conversations stall, who is involved in the decision internally, and whether engineering or sales is steering. That is usually the heart of it, not the number of leads.
-
We sell spirits through importers. Can you help there?
In that model someone else sells your product, and that is exactly the point. We focus on selling to that channel and steering it: which importer fits, what they need in order to give your brand priority, and how you follow up without depending on one trade fair a year.
