Sales in Venlo
Venlo is the Dutch logistics gateway to Germany. Trade Port Noord, Fresh Park and the campus on the former Floriade site sit half an hour from North Rhine-Westphalia, and many Venlo companies earn more there than in the Randstad. Dcraft Of Sales designs sales processes that treat that German market as a home market rather than as export.
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
Venlo runs on transit and processing. Trade Port Noord holds logistics, agrifood and manufacturing; Fresh Park Venlo concentrates fresh-produce trade with cooling, sorting and transport; and the former Floriade site now hosts Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo, with research into nutrition, cultivation and the bio-circular economy. The city also has a high-tech anchor few outside the region know about: Canon Production Printing, formerly Océ, has its international headquarters here and develops and manufactures professional printing systems. The border is not a constraint here but the business model — Duisburg, Krefeld and the Ruhr are closer than Utrecht, and both customers and competitors sit there.
The sales reality here
The most common sales problem in Venlo is approaching the German market in a Dutch way. A German buyer expects a different pace, a more formal opening, documentation up front and an offer grounded in specifications rather than enthusiasm. Dutch directness, which reads as efficient in Eindhoven or Rotterdam, reads as unprepared there. At the same time the logistics market here is heavily rate-driven: if your proposition rests on price alone, the customer buys elsewhere next quarter. So we build a separate sequence per market and make sure something sits alongside the rate that can actually be managed: reliability, lead time and chain control.

Frequently asked questions
-
We sell from Venlo into Germany. Do you adapt your approach to that?
Yes. For a Venlo company Germany is not an export market but a second home market, and that calls for its own list, its own opening, its own documentation and a longer run-up to the first meeting. We design that process and put it live with German-speaking people from your own team or with a salesperson we select for you.
-
Our logistics services get compared mainly on rate. What can you do about that?
As long as the conversation is about rate, you are replaceable. We shift it toward what actually moves a buyer: lead time, delivery reliability, how you absorb peaks, and how much work you take off their desk. That is not a trick but a different conversation structure, and it has to be demonstrably true — otherwise the first review pushes you straight back to price.
-
What is a realistic first step for a fresh-produce business at Fresh Park Venlo?
Usually not chasing new customers, but getting a sharper view of your existing buyers. In fresh trade volume shifts fast and quietly, and who ordered less in which week is rarely recorded anywhere. We start with that insight and with a fixed follow-up on it. New offtake comes after that, built on what we then know about what makes your customers choose.
