Six conversations your audience will remember.
How to prepare your company for a USD 100M deal
Most companies are not ready for the deal they want. The 90/90 Method: 90 days to a decision, 90 days to execution, and the paperwork principals check first.
Wrong Room: where deals are really done
Why networking events fail, where principals actually meet, and how invitations to the right rooms really happen.
The majlis and the handshake: doing business in the Gulf
Etiquette, patience, hospitality and trust: what Western and Asian executives get wrong in their first year in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
A licence is not a market: UAE market entry done right
Why most companies lose two years after setup, and how to go from trade licence to signed revenue with partners, distributors and decision-makers.
The Canada and UAE corridor
What the Canada-UAE CEPA and investment agreement mean for operators, and where Gulf capital and Canadian companies meet.
Become a Network King: relationships are the asset
How to build a network that opens doors: give first, solve their problem, never ask for money in the first meeting, and keep the long game.
Questions that get the best stories.
Use them as they are or as a starting point. Adnan is happy to go off script, and a short pre-call is available for longer formats.
