ThinkProp, launched as part of ADRES in 2022, builds professional capability across real estate, engineering, and AI. Its international designations, such as CCIM in commercial real estate, are relevant to brokerages and their teams, not only to individual brokers. Reaching a firm starts with finding the right people inside it, and every course registration needs a clear next step through to payment.

    Finding the right firms and people

    Prospecting starts with a LinkedIn company search for real estate firms in the UAE with 201 to 500 employees, which gives a list of target brokerages. Inside each firm, a keyword search of the People tab, for example “commercial”, finds the brokers most relevant to the course.

    A short, personal first message

    Each new connection receives a short, friendly note introducing an accredited international commercial real estate course, delivered for the first time in the UAE, with an offer of a quick call. If there is no reply within two days, one final message follows, noting that the last few seats are being secured that week.

    A five-day telesales journey

    Each course registration is followed up over five days: two calls at set times and a WhatsApp message on day one, another WhatsApp message on day two, and emails on days three and five. The scripts ask about years of experience in real estate, commercial or residential focus, and off-plan or secondary market, then share the payment link to secure a seat.

    Clear stages in the CRM

    Every lead is first marked Contacted. Within seven days, it becomes Qualified if the person has asked for details, or Unreachable if not. Within two weeks, a sale creates a deal marked Won; otherwise, the lead becomes a Future Prospect. Anyone not interested is marked Unqualified. WhatsApp quick replies are planned as automated templates in Zoho.
