Bedeutung
to successfully conclude a negotiation
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians often use maritime metaphors because of their history as a seafaring nation. Terms like 'å være i samme båt' (to be in the same boat) and 'å dra i land' are deeply embedded in the language. In Norwegian business, 'flat hierarchy' means that even a junior employee might be the one to 'dra i land' a deal, and they will be praised for their individual initiative within the team. Norwegian sports commentators use this phrase constantly, especially in cross-country skiing or football, to describe a hard-fought win. The phrase is used to describe the 'Stortingsforhandlinger' (parliamentary negotiations) where parties with very different views must find a compromise.
Use it in Interviews
Using this phrase in a job interview shows you understand Norwegian business metaphors and have a 'closer' mentality.
Don't over-pronounce the 'D'
In the word 'land', the 'd' is silent. Saying 'lan-D' sounds very non-native.

The 'Team' Aspect
Even if you did the work, saying 'Vi dro det i land' (We pulled it in) is often better than 'Jeg dro det i land' in Norway's egalitarian culture.
