Last Thursday in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 After spending the past weeks in Macedonia, it was really great to visit our Dutch Norstat office again and spend time face to face with the team. We had a session on the Norstat Expert Network, together with PMs and Sales, discussing how we can continue bringing this solution to the market as well as leveraging the capabilities we have now for some of the research needs of our clients, What I appreciated most was that the presentation quickly turned into a real discussion. To me, that is always a good sign. It shows that the concept is being picked up, challenged, and translated into the reality of existing client relationships in the Netherlands. Of course, this is not a solution for every client segment. Given the higher costs, it is especially relevant for clients with a clear focus on quality, both on the quantitative and qualitative side. But for those use cases, especially when verified professionals and niche audiences matter, I believe there is a strong role to play. A big thank you to the Dutch team for the great interaction, and especially to Gökhan and Hans for setting up the short workshop and Q&A 🙏 Afterwards, we had drinks and dinner with Gökhan and Marcela from Offerwise. I am really grateful for these moments where we can connect with colleagues from across the pond 🌎 It was interesting to exchange how topics like client management, project management, and go-to-market can differ between markets, while many of the project challenges and ways of working still feel very familiar. And there I was, with colleagues from Denmark and Brazil, on a late Thursday evening in Amsterdam, truly living the concept of #GlobalBuddies 😊 PS. Shoutout to our waitress who volunteered to take these 3 great pictures of us! #Norstat #B2BResearch #ExpertNetwork #MarketResearch #Teamwork #GTM #GlobalBuddies
