Near the coastline for cooling, lower temperatures than other parts of ME. Good potential for renewables e.g. solar / wind / energy storage. Low latency distance from half of the world for data delivery… It actually makes quite a bit of sense.

It sounds absolutely ludicrous but to build facilities that require a substantial amount of energy for cooling and running in the middle of the desert isn’t too far fetched from what Saudis would actually do.

Wasn’t my intention to hurt anyone’s feelings but to engage in a conversation. Funny how fast Saudis show hurt feelings and frustrations when they show very little regard for their consultants and they often refuse to pay for the work delivered. Of course not everyone but many behave this way. Frankly unacceptable and below third world behaviors that reflect very poorly on the whole country but they don’t seem to care.

Yes. Intelligence gathering outpost for the neighbours

Hey friends. Recently joined a startup with a heavy reliance on outbound sales strategy. Without a phone number... what are some of your best ways to get meetings booked with prospects?

Our product sells itself, but how do you set yourself apart to get the initial meeting booked?
What mediums do you use with cold outreach that you find most effective?
What copy have you found gets the best ppen/reply rate?

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
