Overview

02

Format

Sound Familiar?

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • Your team spans several nationalities and there is no shared method anyone could name.

  • Your strongest performers cannot explain what they do, and nobody has tried to extract it.

  • Revenue runs through distributors, agents or resellers you do not control.

  • You respond to tenders rather than shaping the specification beforehand.

  • Collection is effectively part of the sales job and nobody treats it as a sales skill.

The Market

Dubai’s Economy, and Why It Shapes the Sale

Dubai’s economy was built on trade rather than oil. Pearling and re-export through Dubai Creek came first, the Creek was dredged in the 1960s to take larger vessels, Jebel Ali Port opened in 1979 and the free zone around it in 1985, the same year Emirates began flying.

Today wholesale and retail trade is the largest single contributor to GDP at around 22%, with financial and insurance activities at 14%, real estate at 11% and construction at 8%.

Three things follow. Much of the revenue moves through distributors, agents and free-zone intermediaries. A large share of big-ticket buying is tendered. And because Dubai hires from everywhere, the sales floor is assembled from several commercial cultures at once.

In Practice

One Method, or Six

In most markets a sales team absorbs a common commercial culture by default. In Dubai that often fails.

One salesperson qualifies hard and early, because that is how they were trained. Another never qualifies, because in their previous market the relationship carried the deal. One discounts to open a conversation. Another will not discuss price until the third meeting. Each is being professionally consistent with what they learned. Together they can produce a sales function with no standard.

None of this shows on a pipeline report. It becomes visible the moment a manager tries to coach, because there is no agreed version of good to coach towards.

Question

If you sat in on a first meeting run by two different people on your team, would you recognise the same company?

In Practice

What Else We Find Here

01

You are selling through a channel you do not control.

Your team’s job is to make someone else sell well, which is a different skill. The usual substitute is discount support and target pressure on the partner.

02

The tender was shaped before it was published.

Government, semi-government and main-contractor buying runs through approval chains that take shape months before anything reaches you.

03

Collection is a sales outcome treated as a finance problem.

A salesperson who established terms and authority during the sale collects differently from one who closed on price.

What To Expect

What Changes First

Two salespeople run the same first meeting. Not identically, but recognisably: the same questions established, the same things written down, the same decision about whether to proceed. Until that exists a manager has nothing to coach towards and no way to tell a capability problem from a style difference.

Before You Book

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Straight answers, including the ones where we tell you to buy elsewhere.

Do you deliver onsite in Dubai, or only online?

Live online as standard, with onsite on request. Over a six-month engagement most teams end up blended.

You are based in India. Why use you rather than a provider here?

Dubai is well served by open-enrolment certified courses and by global franchise brands. We sit between them: a customised in-house programme with a diagnosis first and reinforcement after. If what you want is a public certified course, a KHDA-approved institute is the better buy and we will say so.

Our team is several nationalities. Does one programme work?

That is the argument for it. The issue is not that people differ, it is that there is no shared standard, so nothing is coachable.

Can you train our distributors as well as our own team?

Often yes, and in channel-led businesses it is where the return is largest.

TWO QUESTIONS, BEFORE YOU SPEND ANYTHING

1

When a deal is lost through a distributor, who on your side finds out why?

2

How much of your receivable ageing traces back to how the deal was originally agreed?

IF THOSE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE TO ANSWER

If those are uncomfortable to answer, twenty minutes on the phone is a reasonable place to start. If the gap is not capability, we will say so.
