Synchronization Context

Syncing between Athens and Shenzhen is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Athens Business Pulse

  • Culture Sociable and relationship-heavy. Business often involves lively discussion.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The best window for calls is 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Avoid calling between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM (the "siesta" or lunch period). Greeks value personal rapport and hospitality; business deals are often sealed over long meals or social gatherings. Be prepared for a warm and expressive communication style.

Shenzhen Business Pulse

  • Culture Hardware capital of the world. "Shenzhen speed" means ultra-fast prototyping and decision making.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM for the quickest decisions. This is the fastest-paced city in China; expect your contacts to value speed and efficiency above all else. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window. Respond to follow-ups immediately to maintain momentum.
