Almaty Business Pulse
- Culture Entrepreneurial, professional, and the financial heart of Central Asia.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call times are 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Business in Almaty is professional and increasingly globalized. Relationship building is important, but discussions are results-oriented. Maintain a professional and polite tone. Punctuality is appreciated. Be prepared for a formal approach.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
