About us

At Let’s Talk, we believe in the power of unique individuals. Our team of dedicated experts, each with their own specialty and approach, is united by a passion for technological innovation and a keen, sometimes individualistic view of complex issues. It is this unique vision that enables us to continuously push the boundaries of software development. Our four core values form the pillars of our culture, which encourage openness, collaboration and constant improvement, and which we proudly live by in all our partnerships.

Our origin story

At the foundation of Let’s Talk lies a deep-rooted story of entrepreneurship and technological innovation. We have evolved into a leading pioneer within the telecom industry. This development was driven by the foresight of our founder, Marcel, who saw the potential to significantly simplify the cell phone subscription process.

Marcel autonomously developed a software solution that not only streamlined the subscription process, but also substantially increased sales results. This in-house developed software has established itself as the crucial foundation for telecom departments at leading retailers, including MediaMarkt Netherlands, MediaMarkt Belgium and Phone House Netherlands.

Our specialized team of primarily back-end developers works daily to continuously optimize the entire fulfillment process around subscription activations. What started as an innovative concept has grown into an indispensable tool in the dynamic landscape of the telecom sector.

Historically, our system was built on the reliable Cake PHP framework. In 2023, we made a strategic move to Shopware with a Symfony core. This decision was driven by the need for a flexible e-commerce platform that allows seamless integration with our existing systems. Shopware allows us to automate standard tasks, allowing us to focus on developing high-quality custom solutions within the Symfony framework.

“Our secret? People first. At Let’s Talk, working with joy is the foundation of every successful project.”

Marcel Meeuwissen – Our founder

Our core values

What drives us? What is it that we like to get out of bed for in the morning? What are our common beliefs? After a thorough analysis of our company, the clients we attract and the people who work with us, four core values emerged.

Speak up:
‘If it’s worth thinking, it’s worth saying’

Meaning: Openness drives up.
Mindset: We prefer uncomfortable truths over comfortable silence
What we do: Make expectations explicit, such as giving direct feedback during meetings.

Solve the ‘why’:
‘Understand what’s needed, deliver the difference’

Meaning: Dig deeper than the initial request; value over hours!
Mindset: Results and impact over tasks.
What we do: Ask the question behind the question; become a strategic partner.

 

Win together:
‘Solo gets you far, together gets you there’

Meaning: The collective comes before the individual. Leveraging talents for the team.
Mindset: We over me. Your success is my success.
What we do: Offer proactive help, share the burden during setbacks, and provide a safe environment to ask for help.

 

Be Proud:
‘Don’t meet expectations, exceed your own

Meaning: Our own quality standard sets the benchmark. Robust, sustainable and future-proof.
Mindset: Craftsmanship is a matter of pride. We refuse to take shortcuts that compromise quality.
What we do: We build maintainable solutions, share expertise, and only put our name to work when we are truly proud of it!
