How Qatar Won the World Cup

DealBook has a really great piece on how Qatar won the bid to host the Olympics in 2022. Their analysis of the bid is a great resource for anyone who is in the business of pitching for new clients or projects. The Qatar bid committee focused on:

  • Leave nothing to chance with your regulators
  • Have a response to every objection
  • Speak their language

Definitely a textbook example of how to get it done when pitching new business. -!YG
