The Story
In Riyadh, a delegation arrived with a full program and a strong presentation. It was received warmly and produced nothing. Its leader returned alone six weeks later, with no delegation, no deck, and two questions. That is where the work began.

Cultural Principle
In the Gulf, a first visit is hospitality. A second visit, unaccompanied and unannounced to anyone but the host, is what signals an intention to stay.

Takeaway
Budget for the return trip before you book the first. A delegation opens the door. The person who comes back walks through it.

Quietly yours,
Taqua
