Section B
Arabs consider it-{extremely} bad manner to start talking business immediately.
Even the busiest government official or -{executive} always take
-{extra} time to be polite and offer -{refreshments
No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this -{hospitality}.
Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom.
There is a -{vagueness} in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a -{newcomer
Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.
Patience is an important-{quality
You may have to wait two or three days to see high-level government officials as they are very bus
Give yourself enough time.
Personal relationships are very important
They are the key to do business in Arab countries
-{Try to identify the decision-maker regarding your product or services immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis.
Do your homework.
Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal.
Be ready to answer technical questions}.
When an Arab says yes, he may mean maybe
When he says maybe,he probably means no
You will seldom get a direct no from an Arab because it is considered impolite.
Also,he does not want to close his option.
Instead of no,he will say inshalah which means,if God is willing
-{On the other hand,yesdoes not necessarily mean yes
A smile and slow nod might seem like an agreement
but in fact,your host is being polite.
An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest}.
