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.

Houston Business Pulse

Culture Focused on energy, medical, and aerospace. Professional and direct.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Houston is a practical, results-oriented city. The Central Time Zone is ideal for North American coordination. While professional, the culture has a touch of "Southern hospitality," so a friendly opening is always appropriate.
