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.
Sao Paulo Business Pulse
- Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
