Brussels Business Pulse
- Culture International and bureaucratic due to EU presence. Values compromise and multilingualism.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Business here is often international; ensure you know which linguistic community (French/Dutch) your contact belongs to, or use English as the professional bridge. Expect a focus on protocol and consensus.
New York City Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
- Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
