That’s our client—zero presence in the Middle East before we stepped in.
Here’s how we helped them break into oil & gas across Saudi & UAE
In 2023, I helped a small engineering firm break into the Middle Eastern oil & gas sector.
They had no:
• Local licenses
• Market insights
• Vendor approvals
• Physical presence or clients
18 months later, they closed
$22M+ in contracts across
Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Here’s the 5-step playbook we used at
ThriveWize to make it happen
- Strategic Market Entry
We simplified the entire setup process:
• Company registration
• Licensing & permits
• Visa facilitation
• Localization alignment
Fully operational in just 45 days.
No red tape. No delays. Just results.
- Supply Chain Integration
Getting approved by giants like Aramco, ADNOC, and PDO is tough.
But with our decades of experience, we knew exactly how to launch a prequalification application—with the
right paperwork and the
right strategy—to get approved
on the first attempt.
We streamlined everything:
• Vendor approval
• Compliance alignment
• Fast-tracked end-user approvals
They went from outsiders to
preferred suppliers.
- Data-Backed Decisions
In this market, guessing = losing.
We armed them with:
• Competitive benchmarking
• Feasibility studies
• Real-time market trends
• Consumer insights
They knew exactly
what to offer,
when to offer, and
who to offer it to.
- Revenue Growth Strategy
The Middle East is not a one-size-fits-all region.
We created a custom sales and marketing strategy:
• Bilingual digital campaigns (Arabic & English)
• Local brand positioning
• Sales enablement tools
• Targeted lead generation
We tapped into data from our large customer base to supercharge their outreach.
Result?
$2M+ in new deals within 6 months.
- Long-Term Optimization
Most firms stop at entry. We don’t.
We:
• Trained their local team
• Optimized their pricing model
• Diversified their revenue streams
Now, they’re bidding on
energy transition projects worth $40M+.
If you're serious about expanding into the Middle East’s
$6 trillion energy market, stop guessing.
Start with experience.
