Brasilia Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, political, and influenced by government and administrative cycles.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. As the capital, business is often formal and hierarchical. Political and professional titles are respected. Punctuality in corporate/government settings is expected. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as many people travel then.
Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
