Working with Ton inspired my team to think differently about our value messaging and talk more effectively about our portfolio. His methodology and approach allowed us to realize the true potential of what we were selling in a way that opened our eyes to new possibilities and even new markets. This was invaluable to our marketing efforts.

Have you ever wished you could put your business into one of those scanners they have at the airport to peek into your luggage? A way to see the inner workings of your company that sometimes seem to give it a life of its own.
Well, you have come to the right place. Ton can help you find what works and what doesn’t and will help you fix or nurture it, so you can take your company to the next level.
He is a no-bullshit kind of guy with infectious positive energy and unwavering dedication to his clients. He doesn’t just teach, coach, consult, and advice. He wholeheartedly cares to see his clients get unstuck, grow, and thrive.
I spent the second half of 2020 working with him on his content and enjoyed every single conversation. Ton works hard, he is thorough, honest, and inspiring to talk to. His experience and results speak for themselves.
If you are considering working with him or joining his exclusive community, do it. You will find a dedicated expert and genuinely great human.

Ton mentored me across a number of 1-2-1 sessions, helping me improve my abilities as a marketer. Every session I came away with plenty of knowledge, frameworks and the confidence to go and attack the task. Thanks, Ton!
– Stefan Cordery, Marketing Manager at Grip
My marketing mentoring sessions with Ton were extremely valuable. Ton was flexible on the topics I wished to cover and shared valuable insights, tips, resources and actionable exercises!
– Clara-Marie Eloy - Junior Marketing Manager at Grip
When you have been in a customer-facing sales role for any length of time you have been thru sales training. Most of which, typically prepare participants to sell products and services and drive business results. All good stuff.
What they, more often than not, fail to do, is focus on the customer. And when the training does manage to be “customer focused” they fail to help salespeople present information in a provocative, persuasive and engaging way.
I can say without a doubt that the process that I learned from Ton has taught me a way of thinking about the materials that I am presenting in a way that for me, has changed my career.
– Christopher Brewer - Strategic Industry architect at Unit4
It’s been amazing working with you – your enthusiasm has been toxic and I’m really pleased we got an opportunity to work together – we have now fully implemented both the finance and HR modules which is a big plus for us! Your inspiration and recognition of how organizations can adapt and change has been invaluable – everything is possible! and yes who knows if we get a chance again to work together then I’ll jump at the opportunity!
Keep me posted on how things progress – I’ll do the same!
– Sarndrah Horsfall - Executive Director at Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency

Ton is an idea generator, a storyteller and someone who can make something great out of any situation. He was the epicenter of positive corporate culture.
– Chad Grim, Director of Marketing, Unit4 North America
I’ve worked with Ton for over 8 years at Unit4. He has been a key player in driving the business forward and ensuring, both internally and externally, that the value that Unit4 provided was clear and understandable. He worked with my teams in Sales, Sales Operations and Marketing to ensure that we had opportunities to learn and resources to grow in our understanding of all things Unit4. Ton made himself available any time to offer clarity on product, pricing or to brainstorm ideas on how to position Unit4 in any number of scenarios.
I find Ton’s sessions, book and weekly inspirations – just that Inspirational. I came away each time, full of thoughts, motivation, focus and a better perspective of redefining my approach to my working and personal life.
