Dizenly for Real Estate & PropTech

Real estate and proptech buyers think in markets, not verticals - the same pitch lands differently in two cities twenty miles apart. This playbook raises geography and company size, drops the technology and AI weighting, and keeps outreach grounded in the buyer’s specific market.

Who you're selling to: VP Operations, Director of Technology, Broker-Owner, Head of Portfolio Management. Tone: Hyper-local and relationship-first. A vendor that understands the specific market outperforms one with a bigger name but no local read.

How the nine scoring factors get re-tuned

Default weights come straight from the platform's baseline model and total 100. The PropTech tuning keeps the same total and moves points toward whichever factors actually predict a good proptech prospect.

  • Role / decision authority

    Default 20 ptsTuned 18 pts▼ -2

    Decisions are often shared between a broker-owner and an operations prospect, softening this slightly.

  • Industry match

    Default 15 ptsTuned 14 pts▼ -1

    Still a strong signal, just marginally less decisive than market fit in this vertical.

  • Services-to-needs alignment

    Default 15 ptsTuned 13 pts▼ -2

    Slightly less predictive once geography and company size already capture most of the fit signal.

  • Company size fit

    Default 10 ptsTuned 12 pts▲ +2

    Portfolio size correlates reasonably well with budget and buying authority here.

  • Geography match

    Default 10 ptsTuned 20 pts▲ +10

    The dominant signal - real estate is transacted market by market, and the wrong metro is a non-starter.

  • Technology relevance

    Default 10 ptsTuned 6 pts▼ -4

    Digital maturity still varies widely across the industry, so the stack signal is less reliable.

  • Outsourcing probability

    Default 10 ptsTuned 9 pts▼ -1

    A modest reduction - outsourcing propensity tracks market and portfolio size more than general willingness.

  • AI / digital transformation fit

    Default 5 ptsTuned 3 pts▼ -2

    The sector is still catching up on basic digital tooling, let alone AI, so this is dialled back.

  • Contact info completeness

    Default 5 ptsTuned 5 pts- no change

    Broker and portfolio contacts are usually already well documented.

Questions about real estate & proptech

What this playbook weights differently, and why those factors predict better here than the defaults do.

Is this how you sell?

Bring your own list and we will run it against this playbook while you watch. Half an hour, and you will know whether the ranking matches your judgement.

Why is geography weighted above almost everything else?

Because real estate is decided market by market. Portfolio strategy, regulation and even vocabulary change between cities, and a prospect outside your markets is rarely worth the follow-up however well they fit otherwise.

Why is technology fit weighted down?

Because digital maturity varies enormously in this sector without predicting willingness to buy. Plenty of large, sophisticated portfolio owners run deliberately simple systems.

Does portfolio size work as a proxy for budget?

Better than headcount does, which is why company size is weighted up here. It is not perfect, but it tracks buying power closely enough to earn the points.
