INBOUND CLIENT DESK FOR DUTCH SUBSIDIARIES Rabo Share4More, Rabobank's employee fund The Netherlands Global Frans den Broeder, manager of the Inbound Client Desk. To better serve Dutch subsidiaries of foreign parent companies, an Inbound Client Desk has been opened at International Services. The goal is to have a single point of contact for all inbound requests, and thus increase Rabobank's market share in this segment. The reason for establishing the Inbound Client Desk is the large market potential of these Dutch subsidiaries. Frans den Broeder, manager of the Inbound Client Desk, says: "While these 8,500 companies constitute only one percent of the total number of companies in the Netherlands, they have 15 percent of all employees. They generate 30 percent of sales, 24 percent of all profits and 21 percent of all investments. These companies grow rapidly and after fïve years 35 percent of all foreign parent companies decide to establish headquarters in the Netherlands. It's a target group with huge potential." The Inbound Client Desk fulfills primarily a commercial role - such as 1) generating deals in collaboration with the member banks, regional teams or large corporates, 2) analysing potentials, 3) handling inbound customer requests and acquisition plans, and 4) monitoring deal implementations.
