Sofie initially had a different career in mind. After her communications studies she started as a marketing & communication employee at an recruitment agency, but she missed the passion in that job. “It was not a match. I had previously worked in the hospitality industry for six years and I always loved the interaction with people. That disappeared in my role at the agency.”
Sofie made the step to Swiss Sense and got to know Coosto . “As a customer service employee at Swiss Sense, I worked with Coosto on a daily basis and that is how I got to know the company. The more people I spoke to, the more often I thought, "That seems like a great company to work for. "I decided to apply and that's how it all started."
After a few good interviews, the click was there and Coosto hired Sofie as a Support employee. From the beginning, there was the intention to help Sofie, who is eager to learn, grow to the CSM role in the future. "I liked that plan and I didn’t hesitate for a moment to accept the offer."
Sofie says she had a warm welcome at Coosto. “I felt at home from the very beginning. Of course all the nice colleagues play a role, but the HR process has also helped. Nothing is left to fate here. A first working day is often very exciting, but at Coosto I knew exactly what to expect. Before I started, I already received a complete plan from HR. Everything had already been arranged for me; training, introductions and so on. I immediately knew what to expect.”
That feeling never disappeared after that. “Everyone is so nice and helpful. You also notice this during activities outside of work. I have to mention the Christmas party. When I arrived I heard that it would be legendary and I experienced that myself for the first time in 2019. What makes it so legendary? I can’t explain, you need to discover it yourself.”
So Sofie took the first steps within Coosto as a Support employee. There she got to know the tool in detail and helped customers with questions or issues. After almost two years at Support, it was time to take the next step. “The initiative for my promotion to the role of CSM came from Coosto. Of course that was the approach from the start, but the fact that I never had to ask about it and they took the initiative, indicates to me what kind of employer Coosto is. Agreements are kept and that is not self-evident everywhere."
The CSM role fits perfect for Sofie. “Making people happy has always given me a lot of energy. Actually, I can do that full-time now. I have my own customer portfolio with nearly three hundred customers.”
As CSM, every day is really different, according to Sofie. “It is very diverse. One day I am busy onboarding new customers and the next day there are screen sharings where I help customers to get the most out of Coosto. I actually shut down my laptop every day and I think to myself: "This was a really nice day." Of course there are also less fun things to do, but compared to all the positive sides, it's nothing."
Sofie is regularly asked what a Customer Success Manager exactly does, and her answer is simple. “I always say that I do exactly what it literally says, haha. I manage the success of my clients. As soon as Sales has concluded a contract, it is transferred to a CSM. We contact that customer to get acquainted, to schedule training courses and to help them get started. From that moment on, the CSM is their contact person.”
A CSM actually builds a bond with customers and that is exactly what makes the work so fulfilling, according to Sofie. “I have a lot of conversations with customers and always try to make them happy. Of course, I also sometimes have to deal with a customer who has a complaint or a problem, but I see that as a challenge. Making those customers 100% happy again is what drives me and gives me the energy I need.”
The connection between Sofie and Coosto is a good one and if it is up to Sofie it will remain so. “I really enjoy my work and I have great colleagues. In addition, Coosto simply is a nice and good employer. At the moment I am happy and I get up to work every day with a smile. I only have one wish at the moment and that is that we can all see each other again soon at the office. I have nothing to complain, but I do miss everyone. ”

My personal motivation to participate in Alpe d’HuZes stems from a strong desire to help combat the disease. I've had this feeling for a long time, and it grew stronger when I started my own business. My first company sponsored good causes from the very beginning, and I was fortunate that the business allowed for it. I believe that when you are in a unique position as an entrepreneur to sponsor good causes, you should do so. Entrepreneurship is not just about starting new ventures, growing revenue, or making a profit; it is also about making connections, development, life, and contributing to society.
From the start, Coosto has sponsored various good causes, but a few years ago, we decided to fully focus on sponsoring cancer research and treatment. This includes supporting organizations like KWF, the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, smaller and sometimes personal initiatives, and we have been proud sponsors of the wonderful Alpe d’HuZes for eight years now.
As the years pass, I'm now 53, I have become increasingly aware of how lucky I am that my family, immediate relatives, and friends are in relatively good health.
I often reflect on the special things in life, such as the fresh scent of an early morning or freshly cut grass, the colorful display of clouds and light during a sunset, peacefully grazing cows in a meadow, or an energizing techno percussion set blasting from the speakers during a car ride. I can enjoy these things without worry, without medical stress, and that feels like pure happiness. I wish this for everyone. All these so-called givens are no longer so obvious when you are ill or when someone you love is sick. These 'trivialities' then suddenly become special moments of happiness.
Of course, this is different for everyone, and everyone experiences it in their own way. But if my company and I can contribute, even if it is just a drop in the ocean, to fighting cancer with the goal of increasing moments of happiness, then that is the best thing there is.
As mentioned, I am an entrepreneur, and from that background, I also wanted to participate and ride up the mountain as an Alpe d’HuZes participant. I love challenges, especially when they are tough.
In 2023, it was time; we participated for the first time, not just as sponsors but also by cycling and running. Being opportunistic, I thought I could just ride up the mountain. After all, it was just over 15 km; I used to cycle that distance to school, it couldn't be that hard. I started training by cycling about 40 km every weekend. With three months to go and extreme weather like snow and frost, I bought an indoor bike trainer to train at home. The advantage of this device was that I could simulate the climb of Alpe d'Huez, and that became my new training goal: climbing Alpe d’Huez as often as possible on the indoor trainer in the attic.
The first time I did it, I was in for a rude wake-up call. I started too fast, and as a result, 30 minutes later, I was completely exhausted and could barely move forward. It was one of my toughest sports experiences ever. I finished the training, but I was utterly wrecked, and the next day I could barely walk due to muscle soreness. That was a serious wake-up call. I realized I had severely underestimated it and that serious work was needed.
I began by reading up on how to train for climbing a mountain by bike. I read training schedules, watched various YouTube videos, and, on the advice of an enthusiastic cycling colleague (thanks for the tip, Stan), listened to the 'Beter Worden' podcast by Laurens ten Dam and gradually adjusted my training. I learned how to train based on wattage, how to adjust my diet, incorporate varied training, and the importance of a good night's sleep. Ultimately, the preparation for 2023 was too short, but I couldn't complain; Team Coosto did fantastic, and it left us wanting more, so we signed up for 2024 immediately.
This time, I planned to start training much earlier, but unexpected business circumstances threw a wrench in the works, and then my mother suddenly passed away. This combination resulted in little training. In the last few months, I have been able to train relatively well. Long rides on weekends of four to five hours, combined with hill training and intervals on the indoor trainer. The result is okay; it could be better, but I am glad I can participate given the circumstances, and I am looking forward to it immensely. It will be an amazing, yet emotional and impactful experience that I will savor to the fullest.
Regarding the sponsorship money, I have decided to personally double the final amount I raise. Hopefully, this will encourage everyone to give generously, but know that every donation is greatly appreciated.
I want to thank everyone in advance for their support, and of course, I will give everything I have on the mountain! 🙂! One last important word:
Don't forget to enjoy life, the little things, the big things, keep things in perspective, and go for it. It's not tomorrow, but now! ❤️

We spraken met Pleun Eykman, inmiddels 8 jaar werkzaam bij Gemeente Breda. Hier werkt Pleun aan de (door)ontwikkeling van alle online kanalen.

Binnen de gemeente Breda maken meerdere afdelingen gebruik van Coosto. Zo zorgt het klantcontactcentrum (KCC) voor de afhandeling van alle binnenkomende privéberichten, via Whatsapp en de social media kanalen, en is de Newsroom, onderdeel van team Communicatie, verantwoordelijk voor webcare bij openbare reacties, mediamonitoring, het beheer van social media en data-analyses.
Binnen de verschillende afdelingen kunnen collega’s gemakkelijk werk van elkaar overnemen, dankzij de overzichtelijke tool van Coosto. Niet alleen binnen, maar ook tussen verschillende afdelingen van Gemeente Breda gaat de samenwerking een stuk vloeiender door het werken met een content & social media tool.
‘’Coosto zorgt ervoor dat we nauwer en efficiënter samen kunnen werken: tussen het KCC en de Newsroom wordt wekelijks afgestemd wat er in de contentkalender staat voor komende dagen’’, zegt Pleun. ‘’Doordat het KCC weet wat er gecommuniceerd wordt, kunnen ze anticiperen op specifieke vragen rondom bepaalde thema’s en onderwerpen.’’
Een succesvolle contentstrategie begint bij het ophalen van de juiste informatie. Daarin speelt de Newsroom van gemeente Breda de hoofdrol. De Newsroom houdt balans in wat er gecommuniceerd wordt naar buiten via social media. ''We vinden het belangrijk om te kijken wat er in de stad leeft en in te spelen op de behoeften van de inwoners.’’, aldus Pleun.
De Newsroom bewaakt dit vanuit de online kanalen en zorgt ervoor dat de online communicatie luistert naar de mening van inwoners en hier proactief op reageert en inspeelt. De Newsroom zorgt binnen de organisatie voor het in verbinding brengen van de binnen- en buitenwereld. Het doel als gemeente is om impact te maken bij de inwoners met maatschappelijke onderwerpen die belangrijk zijn in het dagelijks leven. Zoals de energietransitie, betaalbaar wonen voor iedereen, maar ook veiligheid en gezondheid.
‘’Coosto vormt de basis van hoe wij als Newsroom werken.’’
De Newsroom bij gemeente Breda maakt hiervoor veel gebruik van Listen, de media monitor van Coosto. ‘’Listen geeft ons goed inzicht in de opinie van onze inwoners.’’, volgens Pleun. ‘’Zo weten we beter wat er bij de inwoners speelt, en hoe dit in verbinding kan worden gebracht met de thema’s en onderwerpen vanuit de gemeente.’’
Met behulp van Listen creëert Pleun zoekopdrachten om te monitoren wat er online gedeeld wordt over de gemeente en vooral door de inwoners van Breda. Maar ook bij belangrijke gebeurtenissen, zoals de verkiezingen of een crisis zoals een grote brand in de stad, is het essentieel om te weten wat er gezegd wordt. Met behulp van Listen maakt Pleun in een handomdraai omgevingsanalyses: ‘’Zo zijn we altijd op de hoogte van wat er online gedeeld wordt en hoe we daar op in moeten haken.’’
‘’Ik ben groot fan van de zoekhulp in Coosto. Daarmee heb ik binnen een handomdraai een zoekopdracht gemaakt om het laatste nieuws en berichten te monitoren.’’
Het contentproces van gemeente Breda begint bij het verzamelen van informatie en inzichten in de behoeften van inwoners, door middel van de media monitor van Coosto. Die inzichten vormen gedeeltelijk de basis voor de social media content. De creatie, verspreiding over de verschillende social media kanalen en de analyse van social media content gebeurt ook allemaal in Coosto.
‘’Wij gebruiken Coosto voor het contentproces van A tot Z. Coosto vormt de basis van onze werkzaamheden binnen de Newsroom van Gemeente Breda.’’
Vervolgens worden alle social media posts in de contentkalender ingepland. Gemeente Breda plant veel vooruit en werkt met vaste thema’s en rubrieken. Aan de hand van de labels in de contentkalender worden alle posts gecategoriseerd. De labels worden daarnaast ingezet om de rubriek aan te duiden, zoals ‘wist-je-datjes’ en weekendtips, en het format van de content, bijvoorbeeld afbeeldingen en video’s.
Veel content staat al op de planning, maar is in afwachting van het juiste moment om naar buiten gebracht te worden. Pleun: ‘’Denk aan het aanvragen van de energiebijdrage. Hier communiceren we natuurlijk niet over op een zonnige dag wanneer iedereen op het terras zit. Dan staat niemands hoofd naar zo’n onderwerp, terwijl het voor veel inwoners wel echt belangrijk is. We zetten dit soort content alvast klaar in de contentkalender, maar wachten het juiste moment af om dit daadwerkelijk te posten.‘’
De resultaten van alle social media content worden nauwkeurig geanalyseerd. Zo bepaalt Pleun of bepaalde rubrieken nog steeds aanslaan bij de inwoners van Breda, en welke social media posts het beste presteren.
‘’Alle keuzes voor content maken we op basis van data, uit de overzichtelijke dashboards van Coosto’’
Labels vormen de basis voor de data-analyse: per label wordt een dashboard gemaakt, om te tracken hoe de content van een bepaald onderwerp of specifieke rubriek presteert. Per kwartaal analyseren we de verschillende labels, zodat we continu op zoek blijven naar verbeteringen aan de hand van data.
‘’Handmatig alle kanalen analyseren is ondenkbaar: met Coosto zet ik binnen een paar minuten een overzichtelijk en betrouwbaar rapport neer.’’
‘’In een paar minuten maak ik een makkelijk overzicht op basis van zoekopdrachten of labels’’, zegt Pleun. ‘’Daarmee breng ik snel in kaart wat wel werkt en wat niet op onze social media kanalen. Zo kijk ik bijvoorbeeld wat het effect is als we een video plaatsen bij een post of juist een afbeelding.’’
Coosto speelt een cruciale rol in het succesvol communiceren en betrekken van de inwoners van Gemeente Breda. Van belangrijke inzichten door omgevingsanalyses, tot het snel kunnen reageren op prangende vragen en proactief communiceren over belangrijke thema’s: de content & social media tool van Coosto is een overzichtelijk, efficiënt en bovenal betrouwbaar platform voor gemeente Breda.
