Baghdad Business Pulse
- Culture Relationship-heavy and traditional. Resilient entrepreneurial spirit.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Business is deeply personal; you must invest time in building trust ("Wasta"). Be patient, respectful of traditional values, and avoid rushing into technical business details until a personal rapport is established.

- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
