Bol Partner Course
Founder / Mentor
2022 - Present
A struggle that I had initially as a beginner seller on Bol.com was that I had issues finding English content that could teach me the basics as well as how to become proficient in this business. After a few years of being an avid seller on Bol.com and independently learning my way through the whole process, I decided that it would be great to share my knowledge about this business path to people in my position (seeking "financial freedom"). In my program, I teach enthusiasts that are interested in setting up their business and becoming a seller on the platform. My course covers topics that begin from the basics (how to set up a business legally with the Chamber of Commerce) and eventually dives into specific topics such as the exact product that will have a high conversion. I work closely with my clients to ensure that they understand the program and (by the end of the course) become independent.

I do this by looking at market trends through market analysis mostly based on macroeconomic trends within Europe. Aside from the research and market analysis, I also handle the finances for the company and make important financial decisions. I also have to ensure that the company benefits from healthy growth in the long term.

As a member of the Council of Advice (CoA), we ensure that we support and advice the current board based on our long term strategy of ensuring stability of the organisation. We do this through different means and through the interest of our stakeholders (which are the universities).
In general, we provide individual and general advice to board members of the organisation while also mediating any internal conflicts within the board. We also ensure that the long-term vision of the organisation is achieved and ensuring the general health and well-being of the organisation. Lastly, we provide advice and support for any financial budget activities and decisions.
Within my role, I work closely with the Events, Marketing, and Integration managers (department). I provide advice, support, and feedback to these managers through quarterly check-ins while also providing advice for their individual departmental budgets. A role that I share with another member of the CoA is managing the overall finances of the organisation and ensuring that financial stability is achieved. We do this by regularly updating the yearly budget and finances, and from the results, providing monthly advice to the board members.
