Berlin Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, efficient, and values privacy. Clear separation between work and personal life.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Germans value efficiency and direct communication; do not be offended by a lack of small talk. Respect the strict 9-5 (or 8-4) work day. Calling after 6:00 PM or on weekends is considered a major intrusion into private life.
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.
