I help businesses
grow, connect
and unlock new opportunities.
Strategic advice and execution for high-stakes business development and international trade missions.
Business Development & Appointment Setting
I am a driven sales professional specialising in arranging qualified appointments between potential clients and account managers. With strong communication skills, I approach prospects through my own network, by phone, email, and social media to spark interest, qualify leads, and schedule valuable conversations. I am a connector who brings entrepreneurs together with the right people and creates new opportunities.
My strength lies in making contact, building relationships, and supporting sales processes. I also work in a structured way and make sure conversations, results, and follow-up are recorded accurately in CRM systems. My goal is to contribute to growth, higher conversions, and a well-filled sales agenda.
International Trade Missions
Opening doors on an international level requires finesse, local insight, and a strong network. My network has been built across business, government, and knowledge institutions. That network, combined with a practical approach and genuine interest in people, is the foundation of ERCEE.
International Network
Direct access to decision-makers worldwide, including:
- business delegations
- international trade missions
- exclusive company visits
I facilitate this through close connections in the EU, but also with access to markets in Asia and North America.
Logistical Precision
I coordinate every detail of a mission carefully so that meetings with CEOs, board members, and government representatives run smoothly. From VIP transport and high-level boardroom meetings to extensive professional lunches, everything is executed with precision.

A good corporate gift is more than a gesture. It says something about your organisation, strengthens a relationship, and ensures your appreciation is remembered. The right gift is not a cost item, but an investment in a sustainable relationship. ERCEE advises organisations on choosing corporate gifts that convey exactly the right message. Exclusive, personal, and always appropriate for the recipient.
The Man Behind ERCEE
My name is Dick van de Craats. For more than 40 years, I have helped organisations grow by
connecting people, ideas, and opportunities. Throughout my career I have built an extensive
national and international network across business, government, and knowledge institutions.
That network, combined with a practical approach and genuine interest in people, forms the
foundation of ERCEE.
From business development and strategic collaborations to international trade missions and
exclusive corporate gifts: I believe successful relationships begin with trust and personal
attention. Outside of work I am an enthusiastic golfer, hobby cook, and gardening enthusiast.
Activities that inspire me and reflect the same values I bring to business: passion, quality,
and connection. With ERCEE, I help entrepreneurs and organisations open doors, strengthen
relationships, and turn ambitions into reality.
