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.

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.
