4️⃣ Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Local Partner in Saudi Arabia
Once your company builds visibility in the Saudi market, local firms will start approaching you to represent them. That’s great — but be cautious. Here’s what not to do:
1️⃣ Don’t work with just one partner unless you have to. Segment the market and test multiple partners in different areas. 2️⃣ Don’t be impressed by wealth or prestige alone. Look for aligned motivation and relevant industry experience. 3️⃣ Separate your partners’ responsibility areas by companies, sectors, cities etc. Don’t allow multiple partners to contact the same clients — it will damage your brand. 4️⃣ Don’t sign long-term contracts upfront. Start small, observe performance, and scale partnerships based on results.
👉 Your ideal partner is not the richest or the most famous — it’s the one who’s motivated and aligned with your goals.
