I might assume you did not get all the placements trough Taxi because honestly I am quite dissapointed about the amount of opportunities they have to offer and this is not only for the style I am doing. But I could be totally wrong and it's the same amount with all the licensing companies on an average.
It's about a 50-50 split between Taxi & Non Taxi library placements but I only got into the main non-Taxi one through a co-write with another Taxi member...so in a way they are all connected.

Expressed differently, TAXI worked great for you. :)

Martijn, your best bet is to research for libs who does well in your chosen genre and contact them. That is more in line with your goals of "I have this, are you interested?" rather than "we need this, can you provide?"

Yes I completely agree that's the best route for me.

Hi Martijn,

I do between one and three Listings per month.
Oftentimes in a genre that I'm not familiar with. Though I don't want to be a Jack Of All Trades I love to learn something new. At least I can improve my 'active listening' skills.
A side effect is that I improve my production skills in general.
In most cases, I try to submit more than one track. if I like what I've produced I try to complete an album. This way I've completed a number of albums and pitched them with success to libraries.
Meanwhile, I'm known by some libraries for genres that I never intended to do before I've joined Taxi.

Good luck to you, Martijn. With your mindset, you'll need plenty of luck to get where you want to go. That's all I'll say about that!
