Hi, I am Bart den Haak.

I know first hand about the struggles of managing a FinTech and Saas company. I understand how difficult it can be to focus on what’s really important and the challenge it takes to motivate everyone to focus on what’s needed to get there.

Since 2015, Moving the Needle has supported hundreds of leaders in digital companies to identify their north, set up processes and become autonomous, entrepreneurial and pragmatic to achieve their goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the engagements take?

That’s up to you. We can start with a one-hour inspirational talk or extend our collaboration for many years. Many clients collaborate with me for at least half a year. Implementing Lean OKRs requires people to change their mindset and habits. That isn’t easily achievable within less time. However, let’s have a call to discuss the different options for your Lean OKR transformation.

I need help with Growth Marketing, are you able to help?

In many cases, your current Marketing team is already awesome. They just need to learn how to work in a different way. Change their mindset. I need to be honest with you. I’m not a Growth Hacker or Marketeer. However, I did help a lot of other digital companies, so I have some ideas about it. However, if you need real help with Marketing, I will link you up with expert-level marketing folks within my network.

Can you help with investing in our growth?

In some circumstances, I’m able to help you with investing or help find you an investor within my network during one of our engagements.

Can you help with Technical Engineering Coaching?

Yes, my 20+ engineering background helps to teach and coach your principal engineers and product managers.

I need help with HR, are you able to help?

If you need to develop leadership skills, salary houses, and compensation schemes, I will link you up with expert-level HR folks within my network. However, I do have some ideas on how to radically improve your current compensation and bonus schemes.

I need help with Sales, are you able to help?

Why change a winning team? Your current sales team is already doing a great job. They just need to learn how to work in a different way. Change their mindset. I did help a lot of other SaaS Sales teams, so I have some thoughts about it. However, if you need real help with Sales training, I will link you up with expert salespeople from my network.

How many times will we be in contact?

As many times as needed to achieve our coaching goal. You don’t have to worry about extra hours spent, I won’t charge you more. There are no hidden costs or expenses. Sometimes I recommend you invest in time, skills or competencies, but you always decide if you want to go for it.
