About me

Who is Mohamed Selim?

I sell industrial land, commercial buildings and property to buyers and investors. Long cycles, several people to convince, a decision they live with for years.

Engineering first, then property, then a sales team built from zero, now industrial development. The engineering is why the technical half of a deal is not a problem.

Alongside that I build sales tools, mostly to stop admin eating the week.

Career story

How one thing
led to the next

Six roles in five years, each a step toward the commercial end of the same industry. Read from now, backwards.

2025 to nowIndustrial development

Industrial land and manufacturing investors, local and foreign. The longest cycles and the largest files I have worked.

AlongsideSales systems

Building the tools I wanted to use, because admin was eating the part of the week that moves a deal.

2023 to 2024Sales management

Built a startup's sales function from nothing. Hiring, process, targets, weekly reviews, plus marketing, operations and finance.

2022 to 2023Commercial & B2B

Commercial buildings and developer accounts. Longer cycles, more people to convince, everything priced against a return.

2020 to 2022Property

Brokerage, then investment consultancy. Learning to sell in public, and that a buyer and an investor ask different questions.

2015 to 2019EngineeringWhere it starts

Mechanical engineering at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK.

Expertise

What I bring

Five areas. The useful part is where they overlap.

TechnicalMechanical engineering

BEng (Hons) from the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. IMechE accredited.

CommercialB2B sales & business development

Account management, qualification, offer structuring, negotiation, and staying on a file through contract.

LeadershipSales management

Built and ran a sales team from zero: recruiting, training, process design, cycle planning, targets and weekly reviews.

IndustrialDevelopment & investors

Site selection, utilities and expansion, approvals, and payment structured across a build.

TechnologySales systems & AI

CRM, Apollo and SignalHire for prospecting and enrichment, Power BI and reporting, and applied AI and automation.

Work experience

Since 2025Elsewedy Industrial DevelopmentSenior Sales Specialist

Industrial land sold to Egyptian and foreign investors setting up manufacturing. I find and approach investors, qualify what the operation needs in area, power and utilities, prepare the offer, and stay on the file to contract.

Because the buyer is building a plant rather than buying a finished asset, much of the job is answering technical and procedural questions early.

Longer cycles, larger files, and reading an investor's real constraint rather than the one they open with.
2023 to 2024WeaverbirdSales Manager, real estate marketing

Built the sales function at a startup: hired and trained the team, wrote the process, planned the cycle and targets, ran weekly reviews. Also worked across marketing, operations and finance.

Managing people is mostly making the process clear enough that they do not need to ask.
2022 to 2023SvreicoSenior Property Consultant

Commercial buildings sold for the developer, directly to business buyers and investors rather than end users.

Commercial buyers price everything against a return. It changed how I present a property.
2022B2B for Real Estate MarketingProperty Consultant

Advised clients on property investment options and managed developer brand accounts through to handover.

A buyer asks how it feels. An investor asks what it returns.
2021ArchplanMEP Engineer

Design and site supervision for building services: plumbing, firefighting and HVAC.

How a building is serviced, and how a technical team talks. Both come back whenever a client asks about loads, water and power.
2020 to 2021RMG Real EstateProperty Consultant

Brokerage across the primary and secondary market. The first sales job.

Nobody buys anything just because you explained it well.
Projects

Things I have built

Side of the desk, with a lot of help from AI. I can specify a system properly because I have used the bad version of it.

01In use

A CRM for my sales team

Leads, ownership, follow-up queues, offer generation and reporting in one web app. Records live in a spreadsheet the company already controls.

02In use

An assistant inside that CRM

Answers pipeline questions in plain language. Runs on the device, so it cannot invent a number and no client data leaves the company.

03Personal project

An industrial locations platform

A map-based workstation for the parks I sell: verified site data, distances to ports, a cost comparison and an offer generator.

Let's talk

A role, an industrial site, a partnership, or a conversation that has not got a label yet. Any of those is a good reason to write.
