Auckland Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed, friendly, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity".
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. New Zealanders are friendly and informal ("Kiwi style") but expect a high level of professional integrity. Be very mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
Chicago Business Pulse
- Culture Practical, hardworking, and friendly. A major hub for logistics, finance, and manufacturing.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Chicagoans are known for being practical and direct but also friendlier than their East Coast counterparts. The Central Time Zone is the "Goldilocks zone" for North American business, allowing for easy syncs with both NYC and LA.
