Strategy, delivery and systems for B2B growth.

Five specialisms that together create more good conversations with the right customers. For each specialism you can read the question I often hear, what I design, what I do myself, and what you get.

You can hire me for one specialism. Your CRM does not have to change for that.

Specialism 01

GTM & commercial strategy

Who will you approach, with what story, through which channel, and in what order?

“We have a good product, but no sharp view of which customers we should approach first and what we should say to them.”

What I design

  • Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and segments
  • Proposition and message per segment
  • Channel choice and priorities
  • Goals and agreements between marketing and sales

What I do

  • Audience and market research
  • Build and prioritise account lists
  • Map decision-makers and their role in the purchase
  • Write out messages, pitch copy and web copy
  • Draw up an action plan your team can carry out

What you get

Deliverables can include:

  • ICP and segmentation
  • Messaging per segment
  • Prioritised account list
  • Action plan with owners

Specialism 02

LinkedIn lead generation

Building lists is the easy part. The point is that the right people have a reason to respond.

“We are active on LinkedIn, but it produces few real conversations with decision-makers who are a good fit.”

What I design

  • Which accounts and decision-makers you approach
  • Which trigger and which story you use
  • The role of profile, content and direct messages
  • Cadence, follow-up and the handoff to sales

What I do

  • Research accounts and decision-makers, for example with Sales Navigator
  • Write connection requests and message sequences
  • Sharpen profiles and content lines
  • Organise follow-up and replies
  • Record conversations in your CRM and adjust based on what works

What you get

Deliverables can include:

  • Audience and account selection
  • Written message sequences
  • Content lines and profile tips
  • Follow-up agreements

I work within LinkedIn's terms of use: no mass automated connection requests or messages.

Specialism 03

Email marketing & lead nurturing

A good nurture sequence is not a series of reminders. It is a series of reasons to keep talking.

“We send separate campaigns and newsletters, but leads do not get warmer and sales does not know when to call.”

What I design

  • Which segment gets which story
  • Moments in the buying journey that justify an email
  • When sales takes over
  • Consent, frequency and unsubscribing

What I do

  • Write email copy and subject lines
  • Design and build nurture and follow-up sequences
  • Set up segments and test contacts
  • Set up A/B tests
  • Analyse results and rewrite emails

What you get

Deliverables can include:

  • Nurture setup per segment
  • Written and tested emails
  • Built flows with entry and exit rules
  • Handoff agreements with sales

Specialism 04

AI & marketing automation

AI is not the goal. It is a way to make research, writing and follow-up faster and more consistent.

“Everyone on our team uses AI a bit, but not in a way that really saves time or gives better results.”

What I design

  • Where AI saves time or improves quality, and where it does not
  • Which steps you automate and which stay human
  • Agreements on review, and on which data may go into tools and which may not

What I do

  • Account and audience research with AI
  • Prompts and working instructions for your team
  • First drafts of messages and emails that we sharpen together
  • Structure and enrich data
  • Automations between your tools

What you get

Deliverables can include:

  • Ways of working with AI and a prompt library
  • Built automations
  • Guidelines for responsible use

A person checks every AI result before it goes to a customer or prospect.

Specialism 05

CRM & commercial processes

Strategy and campaigns only pay off when follow-up does not leak.

“Leads come in, but nobody knows exactly who follows up on what, and the data in our CRM is unreliable.”

What I design

  • Stages and qualification criteria
  • Ownership and the handoff from marketing to sales
  • Which data you actually need

What I do

  • Set up fields, pipelines and segments
  • Clean and import data
  • Automate tasks, routing and notifications
  • Build dashboards on reliable data

What you get

Deliverables can include:

  • A working structure in your existing CRM
  • Working agreements
  • Documentation and handoff
Platforms

I work in your existing CRM: Pipedrive, HubSpot or ActiveCampaign. Replacing it is rarely necessary. What is possible depends on your subscription, your data and your integrations.

Way of working

  1. Intro call

    We discuss your question and see whether I can help.

  2. Scope

    You receive a proposal with the work, the deliverables and the hours.

  3. Deliver and test

    I research, write, build and test, and you approve.

  4. Handoff

    Templates, working instructions and an explanation for your team.

  5. Improve

    We adjust based on replies and results.

Rate

Rate: from €100 per hour, excluding VAT.

How many hours a project needs depends on the scope. We set that together after the intro call. You receive a proposal in advance, with the work, the deliverables and an estimate of the hours.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a new CRM?

No. I work with the tools you already have. You can hire me for strategy, LinkedIn, email or AI without anything changing in your CRM. Only if your CRM is genuinely in the way of follow-up do we discuss what could work better.

Can you do only the strategy, or only the delivery?

Both. Some clients want a sharp plan, others already have a plan and need someone to carry it out. Often it is a combination.

Do you write the copy yourself?

Yes. I write LinkedIn messages, emails, subject lines, pitch copy and messages per segment myself, in Dutch or English. You approve before anything goes live.

Do you use tools that automatically send connection requests or messages on LinkedIn?

No. I work within LinkedIn's terms of use. I do use tools for research and selection, such as Sales Navigator if you have a licence for it.

How do you use AI?

For research, structuring information and first drafts. A person always checks the result. We agree in advance which data may go into AI tools and which may not.

Can I email everyone who fits my target audience?

Not automatically. Fitting your target audience is not the same as consent for marketing email. I set up email marketing with attention to consent and where the contact details came from.

Do you work on a project basis?

Yes, with a scope agreed in advance. Ongoing support on an hourly basis is also possible.

Are licences included?

No. Licences never run through North Star Marketing. You arrange them yourself with the supplier. I do advise on what you need.

How do we set the scope?

In the intro call we discuss your question, the current situation and the result you want. After that you receive a proposal with the work, the deliverables and an estimate of the hours.

Do you work remotely?

Yes, from Valencia, in Dutch or English. On-site work is possible by agreement.

Can my team run it afterwards?

That is what the handoff is for: written templates, working instructions, documentation and an explanation for the people who will use it.
