Let’s be honest—sales can feel like wizardry sometimes. You’ve got the leads, you’ve got the product, you’ve even got the pitch down… and then crickets. If you’ve ever stared at your email inbox waiting for a response like it’s a suspense movie, we feel you. But fear not—RAKEZ came to the rescue with a power-packed event that turned sales confusion into crystal clarity (and maybe even a few lightbulb moments).
Recently, Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (a.k.a. RAKEZ, a.k.a. the MVP of business support) pulled off a high-energy, insight-filled session titled “Closing the Deal: Proven Sales Techniques to Drive Growth.” The venue? The vibey Compass Coworking Centre. The mission? Helping entrepreneurs and professionals stop chasing deals and start closing them like pros.
And let’s just say—they delivered.
When Sales Meet Psychology (and a Bit of Sass)
Leading the charge was Savio Tovar Dias, a global tech sales guru and the current VP of AI Solutions ME at Raizor. This guy didn’t just drop sales tips—he basically handed out cheat codes. Savio broke down how to generate leads without sounding like a robot, build a sales funnel that doesn’t leak like a sieve, and—here’s the kicker—negotiate like your commission depends on it (because let’s be real, it probably does).
But he didn’t stop there. Savio dove deep into the psychology of buyers. Yep, that thing where your prospect’s eyes glaze over during your pitch? There’s a reason. And now, thanks to this session, there’s a fix.
Trust, Talk, and a Dash of Tenacity
Then came Ayman Alwadhi, a serial entrepreneur and Managing Director of The Corporate Group, who reminded us that sales isn’t all charts and conversion rates—it’s relationships, baby. With a mic-drop-worthy case study, he showed how long-term engagement and authentic communication can actually do the heavy lifting for you.
No pushy pitches. No gimmicks. Just good ol’ trust-building and consistent follow-up. Think of it as the slow-cooked stew of the sales world—it takes time, but oh, is it worth it.
Real Talk, Real Tools, Real Results
By the end of the session, attendees weren’t just nodding along—they were scribbling down ideas like their next sale depended on it (because again, it probably does). From sharper qualification questions to offer positioning that hits harder than a double espresso, the session served up practical tips you can actually use on Monday morning.
RAKEZ Group CEO Ramy Jallad summed it up best:
“Empowering entrepreneurs with practical knowledge is just as important as providing them with a supportive business environment.”
Translation? They’re not just handing you the keys to a shiny new office—they’re making sure you know how to drive.
More Than Just a Masterclass
Events like these prove that RAKEZ isn’t playing around when it comes to building a business community that thrives. It’s not just about infrastructure—it’s about inspiration, innovation, and a little bit of sales swagger.
So if you’re looking to level up your sales game and close deals like it’s second nature, keep an eye on RAKEZ. Because this is more than a coworking space or economic zone—it’s where business meets brilliance (and maybe a killer networking coffee or two).
Sales lesson of the day: Don’t just talk. Talk smart. And maybe take some notes from Savio and Ayman while you’re at it.
