The Story
In Kuwait, a family office principal took a September call from a firm he had worked with for six years. They opened with their credentials, their history in the region, and a recap of the mandate. He listened politely. He had presented that same mandate to his own board in July.

Cultural Principle
In the Gulf, relationships are held rather than filed. Restating what someone already knows about you can suggest you were not carrying them either.

Takeaway
Open where you left off. Continuity is easier to demonstrate than to claim.
