Join a supoort community in your area. You are looking for something for entrepeneurs in holland ideally. These usually have a price of admission like $300/yr but can be worth every cent
For example, ecommercefuel is fantastic for ecomm sites. Mastermind may have something to offer for your geography. Its going to boil down to reputation and how much you put in too.
You need a forum of entrepeneurs for people that are dealing with the same issues as you: payroll issues, VAT issues, engineering best practices, accounting advice, dealing with fraud, chargebacks, churn prevention, sales , banking contacts, brand registration and protection, outsourcing copy, and most importantly, advice on how to hire key staff
As you can see, its a lot. You need a whole village to figure that out. I am not sure whats out there for EU virtual "villages" for SaaS, but HN may be able to help.
From one entrepr3neur to other: if you dont have a crm already for sales leads, and your sales cycle is not self serviced, try the streak plugin for gsuite.
Whatever is that you do, make sure you will always have your company to go back to, the following day.
In other words, always search for risks that can wipe you out, and be paranoid about them, work aggressively to mitigate them, even if the risk is borderline zero that it could happen.
Interesting advice. I wonder if those groups are uniquely an EU thing.
I moved out to the Bay Area about 4 months before the lockdown and have been quite underwhelmed by the lack of community around entrepreneurship. I’m not sure if it’s the lockdown itself, the FAANG companies dominating the talent pools, or me just not understanding the dynamics out here.
If you’re looking to grow your sales function you’ve got a good base already. What’s important is ensuring that calls and emails you send to leads and prospects are tracked in your CRM. This’ll help during the sales process and will be beneficial for post-sales support too.

Good luck.
Forgot the number 1 rule.
