You already know the Middle East is where the money is right now.
Saudi has committed over $3 trillion to Vision 2030. The UAE is expanding aggressively into AI, luxury, hospitality, sport, and real estate. Every serious operator with a premium product knows they need to be there.
But the way most Western teams prospect this market is broken:
⚠ Cold emails that never get opened
⚠ LinkedIn outreach that reads generic and gets ignored
⚠ Endless account-mapping decks that consume hours and produce no leads
⚠ Trips to Dubai that return with a stack of business cards from people who never respond
🎯 Build a list of 10-50 named Gulf prospects in 15 minutes
Named contacts with roles, LinkedIn URLs, and preliminary intelligence, using AI prompts I've engineered specifically for the region.
✍️ Write bespoke outreach messages that don't read like AI
Layered with cultural register that Gulf gatekeepers actually respond to (and disqualify you if you get wrong).
📱 Position yourself on LinkedIn so Gulf decision-makers are convinced when they vet you
The specific content, cadence, and register that builds credibility with the people who lurk without engaging.
🧭 Use the four contextual layers AI needs to be Gulf-useful
Country-specific dynamics, decision-maker hierarchies, cultural sensitivity checks, and timing intelligence around Ramadan, Hajj, and the regional calendar.
🚀 Solve a live prospecting challenge in real time
Bring your industry, your target market, your specific commercial situation. We'll work it through together.
✓ You sell premium products, services, or experiences and the Gulf is a real commercial opportunity for you — hospitality, luxury retail, aviation, financial services, real estate, sports, education, capital equipment, or professional advisory.
✓ You're spending too much time prospecting and too little time in real conversations.
✓ You suspect you're using AI badly — or you're not using it at all yet.
✓ You want to be ahead of your competitors before they catch up.
✓ You're prepared to actually implement what you learn — not just consume it.
✗ You want a generic AI workshop with no regional focus. There are cheaper ones.
✗ You're looking for a done-for-you service. This teaches you the system so you can run it.
✗ You're not planning to actually apply it this quarter.
✗ You're looking for magic promises about response rates. Relationships still take work. This just gets you to the starting line ten times faster.
✗ You're not willing to take action and implement.
Both options start on Monday. One keeps you informed. The other keeps you ahead.

"There was a direct impact of working together — shown explicitly by sales from the GCC region. The team can now manage GCC clients and opportunities effectively like never before."
RUPERT LONGSDON, FOUNDER OXFORD SKI
"I booked Corina's online course to understand the GCC market before expanding. In the meantime, we've opened our office in Dubai and business is doing really well. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with Gulf clients — or intending to."
TIM DAUM, VELTRACON LIFESTYLE
"One of the strategies Corina gave us resulted in 3x the revenue we were making before — and we still use them today because they keep bringing better exposure and additional business"
MD, LUXURY RETAIl, LONDON
"We used Corina's strategies and one deal that we thought was going nowhere suddenly closed £80k just by changing our approach."
VIP CONCIERGE COMPANY
"Corina was integral in building our Middle Eastern business over 11 years. Her relationships with HNW individuals and families in the Gulf led to many new, loyal guests."
SIMON NAUDI, CEO CORINTHIA HOTELS
"Her knowledge of what it takes to succeed in this market is second to none. If you want to speed-charge your knowledge, talk to Corina."
ANDREA DARDI, VP BARCLAYS WEALTH

I have spent 20+ years working at the highest level with Gulf clients — royal households, family offices, government ministries.
Western executives, founders, and institutions have worked with me to successfully enter and operate in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman.
I publish The Gulf Desk, read weekly by 16,000+ Senior operators across hospitality, finance, luxury, aviation and sport. My LinkedIn posts reach 43,000+ CEOs and Leaders.
Kingdom Business Luxury Congress, the Global Leaders Summit, Sothebys and Goldsmiths University have worked with me to bring these valuable insights to their audiences worldwide.
And I use AI in every part of my Gulf advisory practice — because I have seen firsthand that the operators combining cultural intelligence with AI fluency are pulling meaningfully ahead of everyone else.
This workshop is how I'm getting more Western operators to do the same, before the window narrows.
Q. Do I need existing AI experience?
No. We start from scratch. If you've never used Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini before, you'll be fully up to speed by the end of the workshop. If you're already using AI, you'll be pulling ahead of most people using it because the prompts I share are engineered specifically for the Gulf.
Q. Will this work for my specific industry?
The framework works for anyone selling into the Gulf where the buyer is a decision-maker at a company, family office, ministry, or institutional buyer. Hospitality, luxury retail, aviation, financial services, real estate, sports, education, capital equipment, professional advisory — all fit. In the workshop I demonstrate on multiple industries so you can see how it flexes.
Q. What if I can't attend live?
The recording is included in both tiers. That said, if you're VIP, attending live means we can incorporate your live questions into the session, and scheduling your 1:1 call is easier when you're already engaged with the material.
Q. Is this suitable if I already work with Gulf clients?
Yes — arguably more so. If you already have Gulf clients, you know how much time relationship work takes. This is about scaling that work by getting to the right conversations faster, so more of your time goes to relationships and less goes to prospecting.
Q. Which AI platform should I use?
I use Claude for most of this work and I'll show you why. But the prompts work in ChatGPT and Gemini too — we'll compare results live so you can pick the tool that's right for you.
Q. What's your refund policy?
Full refund if you do not walk away with at least one insight you can implement. No questions asked.
Q. Can I bring a colleague?
Each ticket is for one person. If you'd like to bring a colleague, please book two seats — or contact me directly about a small-team rate if you're bringing three or more people from the same company.


After 15 August, the Standard price rises to £247.
The VIP tier is capped at 8 seats — no early-bird, no discount, no exceptions.
If you know this is for you, lock it in now.
"Corina's insight into Gulf culture is unlike anything else available. She doesn't just explain the rules — she explains why they exist."
KELLY MENG PHD, GOLDSMITH UNIVERSITY
"If you are doing business in the Middle East and you are not working with Corina, you are working blind."
Yazz Abdulla, ENTREPRENEUR, Dubai
"Corina has been instrumental in shaping our business development strategy for the Middle East. The cultural awareness she brought has deepened our regional relationships."
SALLY TENNANT OBE, ACORN CAPITAL ADVISORS
"Two women expanding into Saudi Arabia, we've put Corina's insights into practice on our regular trips to Riyadh and Jeddah. Her knowledge of Saudi business protocol — and what to expect as a foreign business — is vast and very accurate."
NICKY SAKPOBA, FOUNDER, PANOBA
