I was 18, working as an estate agent in the UK, earning £500 a sale. I was the top closer in my office at a young age, but I outgrew the company — and the UK. My ambitions were bigger than what my environment could support. I knew I wanted more, but I didn’t have the platform, the Dubai experience, or the belief that I could actually make it at my age.
I saw James building his business in Dubai, connecting hungry sales intrapreneurs like me into top-performing real estate firms. I reached out, joined his program, and that was the turning point. He didn’t just give me sales training — he helped me develop the mindset, habits, and local awareness I needed. From the environments to plug into, to the ones to avoid, I was prepared before I even landed.
As a result, I joined Dacha Real Estate and hit 200,000 AED (£50k) in my best months. Agencies now know who I am — not just because of results, but because of the journey I’ve been through and who I’ve become.
If you’re serious about moving to Dubai and want to do it properly, the Global Early Careers Sales Entrepreneur program isn’t just an option — it’s the only viable one.
