Frequently asked questions

SalesIn is a UAE B2B market-entry platform. International companies post market-entry opportunities, and verified independent agents based in the UAE submit warm introductions to buyers, distributors and decision makers they already know. It is operated by The Agency Sales and Marketing Consultancy - F.Z.E, trading as The Agency MENA, licensed in Ajman Free Zone.

Hospitality and F&B, healthcare, education, fit-out and construction, technology, SaaS and fintech, retail and consumer, beauty, sports and further B2B segments — around 40 industry categories in total.

No. Lead generation sells contact data or unqualified enquiries. SalesIn delivers named, relationship-backed introductions from a verified individual who can personally vouch for the contact, and companies pay on outcomes rather than per lead.

No. SalesIn does not hire, place or employ anyone. Agents are independent professionals who make introductions from their own network and are paid a share of the Success Fee on a closed deal — there is no employment relationship, no payroll and no placement fee.

No. SalesIn improves access to relevant decision makers through verified relationships, but no introduction, meeting or closed deal is guaranteed. Outcomes depend on your offer, pricing and how you run the commercial conversation.

Instead of cold outreach or an unverifiable local contact, a company defines exactly who it wants to reach, and verified agents with existing relationships in that sector deliver introductions. Every submission is reviewed by HQ and carries relationship context — how the agent knows the contact, how long they have known them, and when they last spoke.

Yes. Most companies start before incorporating locally, using the platform to test demand and reach buyers first. A local entity, distributor agreement or registered commercial agency may still be required later depending on your product and how you decide to trade.

Yes. Distribution partners are one of the most common opportunity types. Agents introduce distributors, wholesalers and channel partners they already work with, and you assess each one before engaging.

Publish an opportunity describing the buyer or distributor profile you want to reach, the emirate or coverage and your Success Fee. Verified agents active in that sector submit introductions to contacts they already know, with relationship context, and you choose which to pursue.

You do not search a directory. You publish an opportunity describing the buyer, sector and outcome you want, and agents who already hold those relationships come to you. Each filing arrives with relationship context and an HQ review, so you assess the introduction rather than the CV.

You complete verification — email, company profile, and documents reviewed by a human at HQ. While that is in progress you can draft opportunities. Once verification clears and a plan or trial is active, you can publish, and agent filings appear in your workspace for review.

No. A UAE trade licence is not required to create a SalesIn company account. You can register, complete your profile, invite colleagues and prepare sales opportunities without one. A licence or equivalent business-registration document is what unlocks the Business Verified trust level and publishing to agents.

Yes. SalesIn exists largely for companies based outside the UAE. You register with your own country's business details, and your trust badge reflects the documentation you actually provide — a company registered abroad is never presented to agents as UAE-licensed.

Once your company is verified by HQ, your Explorer trial or paid plan is active, your account is in good standing and the Company Participation Agreement is accepted. Until then you can draft opportunities freely — the workspace tells you which step is outstanding.

A SalesIn agent is an independent professional based in the UAE with a real commercial network in one or more industries. Agents are not employees, not cold callers, and not lead vendors — they introduce people they genuinely know.

No. Agents are independent individuals who use the platform on a success-fee basis. There is no employment relationship, no salary and no retainer.

Yes. Agents are independent and work on a success-fee basis, not as employees, and the codename system is designed precisely so that participation does not expose you to your employer or your network. You remain responsible for any obligations you have to your own employer.

Agents accumulate a field record from real activity on the platform — filing missions, having introductions qualified by companies, and closing deals. That record and its rank are visible alongside the codename, so companies can weigh an introduction without knowing who the agent is.

Each introduction records the contact, the company, the relationship type and its history, and what has been agreed. HQ reviews the submission before it is released to the company, and progress is tracked through meeting, negotiation and closure so the outcome is documented on both sides.

A company posts a sales opportunity describing the buyer it wants to reach. SalesIn reviews and qualifies it, and qualified Secret Agents then discover it as a Mission on the board. Agents pursue Missions according to their expertise, relationships and participation preferences, recording who the contact is, how they know them and when they last spoke. HQ reviews each filing before it reaches the company, and the Mission is then tracked through introduction, meeting and outcome.

There is no automated or algorithmic matching. Agents self-select the opportunities where they genuinely know the buyer, and the HQ team reviews every filing manually before it is released to the company. Relationship strength, field record and commercial fit are used to prioritise which introductions go forward.

Yes. You can create and manage as many sales opportunities as you need, and how many can be published and open to agents at once depends on your plan: one on Explorer, three on Accelerate, ten on Scale and unlimited on Executive. Drafts are never limited.

Yes. Each sales opportunity describes one objective and one buyer profile, so pursuing end customers and pursuing distributors are published as separate opportunities. Agents then see them as distinct Missions, which keeps introductions, reporting and Success Fees cleanly attributed to the right commercial track.

Every agent completes identity and document verification with the HQ team before they can submit anything. Phone and email are verified, identity documents are reviewed by a human, and each individual introduction is reviewed by HQ before it reaches a company's dashboard.

A codename protects an agent's identity and personal network from being copied or bypassed by other platform users. It is anonymity from other users only — SalesIn HQ always knows and has verified the real person behind every codename.

Identity stays masked until both sides accept the commercial terms of a specific mission. After mutual acceptance, the relevant details are shared so the parties can work together directly.

Yes, from other platform users. Companies and other agents see your codename, illustrated avatar and field record — not your name. SalesIn HQ always knows and has verified the real person behind every codename, and your identity is disclosed only after both sides accept the terms of a specific mission.

Your codename, avatar, declared industry segments, languages and your field record on the platform. Your legal name, employer and contact details are not shown until mutual acceptance on a mission.

Email confirmation, a completed company profile, and documents — a UAE trade licence or an equivalent foreign business-registration certificate, plus signatory identification — reviewed manually by the HQ team. Publishing unlocks once that review clears.

Your business-registration or incorporation certificate issued in your home country, together with identification for the authorised signatory. Choose "Other / International" as the issuing authority during signup. A UAE trade licence is accepted but not required.

Trust level is shown to agents so they can judge who they are dealing with. Unverified means registered only; Contact Verified means email and mobile confirmed; Business Verified means your business documents were reviewed by the SalesIn team; Enhanced Verified adds an active paid subscription with a payment method on file. It is a SalesIn review, not a government accreditation.

A Success Fee is agreed by the company when it publishes an opportunity, expressed as a percentage of the resulting deal value with a 2% minimum. When an introduction leads to a closed commercial outcome, the Success Fee applies and is split between the introducing agent and the platform on the published terms.

Companies pay a subscription for platform access, and the Success Fee only when an introduction results in an agreed, closed deal. Nobody is paid for activity, submissions or meetings alone.

You earn the Success Fee attached to an opportunity when an introduction you filed leads to a closed deal. The percentage is set by the company when it publishes, with a 2% minimum, and the fee is split between the introducing agent and the platform on the published terms. Nothing is paid for activity, filings or meetings alone.

After the company confirms a closed deal and HQ verifies the outcome. You must be fully cleared through verification for a payout to be issued.
