Atlanta Business Pulse
- Culture Corporate and networking-heavy. Known for "Southern hospitality" in business.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Atlanta is the "Capital of the South" and home to many Fortune 500 giants. Professionalism is high, but "Southern Hospitality" is real; a warm, personal, and polite opening is essential for building rapport before jumping into business.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
