Bogota Business Pulse
- Culture Formal and polite. Small talk and personal connection are expected.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Colombians are exceptionally polite and formal ("Usted" is common). Punctuality is increasingly important in big cities like Bogota. Always start with a friendly inquiry about their wellbeing and family before the agenda.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
