Pods · Sales
An outsourced sales team for companies in the UAE. People, tools and playbooks included.
GrowAxis gives companies in the UAE an outsourced sales team, run as a pod from Cairo: SDRs who research your accounts, reach them in English and Arabic and book meetings for your sellers, with a pod lead and the sales stack set up. Cairo is two hours behind Dubai in winter and one hour behind in summer, so the working day overlaps by six to seven hours. In the UAE, telemarketing runs only from 9:00 to 18:00 and from UAE-registered numbers, so calls go out from your local lines.
01Who it’s for
Built for founders who…
…need meetings with the right accounts every week
…can’t hire and train SDRs fast enough
…want the outreach tools set up properly, not bought one by one
02What’s included
What comes with a sales pod

Your CRM, set up
HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce or Pipedrive, with the stages and fields a forecast needs.

03Rules
Outreach in the UAE: the rules and the hours
- Telemarketing
- Since 27 August 2024 (Cabinet Resolutions 56 and 57 of 2024): calls only from 9:00 to 18:00, none after a refusal, at most one a day and two a week if unanswered, from local numbers registered to the company’s licence. Calling a number on the Do Not Call Registry is fined AED 50,000 to 150,000. The rules are written around consumers.
- Data protection
- Consent is the main lawful basis under the UAE’s data protection law, and people can object to direct marketing at any time.
- Channels
- 85% of UAE residents said they would rather deal with companies on WhatsApp (YouGov for Zbooni, February 2024, a consumer survey).
- Hours
- Cairo is two hours behind Dubai in winter and one hour behind in summer, so the working day overlaps by six to seven hours.
- Languages
- English and Arabic

04How it’s installed
Your pipeline, run by a pod.
First we agree your customer profile, the offer and the outreach rules of your market, and set up the CRM, the sending domains and the data. The pod then researches, writes and reaches out, the pod lead reviews the results with you every week, and your sellers take the meetings.

05FAQ
Outsourced sales team for the UAE: what founders ask first.
A small outsourced team that fills your pipeline: SDRs who research accounts, reach out and book meetings, with a pod lead and the tools already set up, working only for you. It is also sold as SDR as a service.
Yes, within the rules. Calls run from 9:00 to 18:00 from your UAE-registered numbers, never twice after a refusal, and the data protection law gives everyone the right to stop direct marketing. The pod writes by email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, and calls from your local lines.
Your sellers. The pod researches, reaches out and books qualified meetings; closing stays with your team, or with GrowBD’s team when you run the full engine.
Cairo is two hours behind Dubai in winter and one hour behind in summer, so the working day overlaps by six to seven hours.
No. GrowAxis employs the pod in Egypt under its Labour Law 14 of 2025, so you need no entity, bank account or payroll there.
No. It runs on its own in your CRM. Inside GrowBD it also gets the full business development system: pipeline design, lead scoring, forecasting and the team that runs it with yours.
