Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While understanding the region's financial infrastructure may be important for the Sandman Group's business dealings, it is not necessarily essential for the individuals who will be sent to the region to better serve the customer's needs. Effective communication skills, understanding non-verbal language, knowledge of the value system, and the requirement of halal food are all important cultural factors that the individuals should learn before departure to better accommodate the needs of the Saudi customer.
