Interviewer: You’ve trained over 100 agents. Can you share a success story that reflects the potential of your coaching?
Ahmed El Dakroury: Absolutely. One of my agents in Dubai started as a complete beginner, struggling to close deals. After three months of focused coaching, they closed a multimillion-dirham transaction. The turning point was mastering lead qualification and using social media to connect with HNWIs. It’s a great example of how the right strategies can transform a career.
Absolutely. We have recently trained a Real Estate agent that closed approximately 125 million dirhams worth of Real Estate in his 2nd year of joining the Real Estate Sales industry and now we are working with him to position him with the High-net-worth-individuals of Dubai. That is not all, we train other agents that close 2-3 deals within their 2nd month of taking our training. Our simplest commitment is that the agent can close 1 deal per month after taking our training.
