Jan Willem Temmink
Jan Willem (1957) has worked on a project basis in Germany and the Netherlands in a variety of management positions. The common thread is always export and market development. In parallel, he set up his coaching practice in the evenings. In doing so, Jan Willem uses a research result from Nijenrode Business University: companies with a differential competitive advantage achieve better financial results. This has led to a unique blitz-scaling strategy: international accelerated scaling for scaleups and grownups. The basis is a directory of 100+ international venture capitalists/private equity investors.
With his work experience in the media sector, he knows the right moment to engage an influencer and/or choose free-publicity in online and print. Furthermore, during corona, Jan Willem assisted several German retailers with their omnichannel approach. This means the accelerated roll-out of a webshop based on headless e-commerce.
Increasingly, he coaches entrepreneurs in cross-border business acquisitions. This is an integral approach: from search to the integration of business units to actually achieve synergy. His clients are mainly active in IT, manufacturing and partly FMCG. But they all have one goal: revenue growth! Through customer acquisition and/or strategic business takeovers, Jan Willem works according to the motto ‘there is no business like new business!’.

Favorites superpower
It arises when it really is five minutes to midnight at a market launch, sales presentation, company takeover or … In other words: fast switching is desirable to achieve results!
My approach
The basis in internationalisation (including to Germany) is always a thorough market analysis. Online research and customer contacts form an important basis.

Marco and Lizanne have taught me a lot in business over the past year. Marco challenged me to get clear on what my WHY was. My style is rather; 'a bit of everything' and non-committal and at the same time ambitious. Lizanne knew how to coach me finely on my complete package of challenges, questions and ambiguities that I did not know how to answer on my own. A great result with: 'a clear picture of what i4facilities stands for and is about', my Business Administration studies resumed towards the completion of my Master's thesis, a new website and above all 'my own clarity & a plan. That in fine conversations, at home, on location or online. Brilliant Work is really a smart club of service people with an open mind and good rapport. Highly recommended if you want to take the step further as an entrepreneur!

I'm an American entrepreneur based in the Netherlands running a startup called Carrus.io. When I setup the business in Amsterdam I was looking for coaching as a first-time founder (on growth/fundraising/positioning) and as a new resident to the country (navigating the local fundraising and sales environment). I was quite lucky to find Brilliant Work. I worked closely with my coach Lizanne for several months (still ongoing!) who has helped connect me to an incredible amount of resources and knowledge in the country that I would not have been able to find otherwise. Through monthly, 1-1 coaching sessions I've been able to pivot my business, revise my pitch deck to raise angel investment, and overall am certain that these sessions helped impact the direction and growth of my business the last 6 months! What I liked the most is that my coach has real business experience as an entrepreneur and she could relate to a lot of what I was saying while sharing stories of her own. I highly recommend getting in touch with Brilliant Work especially if you're a founder or small business!

Lizanne's coaching helped me fantastically to turn my dreams and mission into practical steps. After all, it was my desire to make the world more beautiful with my business without additional stress. With Lizanne's help, I learned to see the business side of what I do and she gave me many valuable insights. For example, how to translate my impact into financial benefit for my partners and how to prioritize so that there is stability in your business. Lizanne thinks well of her client's needs, and is also strict when you try to ignore the business side because you are dreaming very hard. I now have roadmaps for my sales and marketing and tips on how to pitch even better. Thank you so much! Definitely highly recommended!
