Cape Town Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more relaxed than Jo'burg but professional. Creative and tech-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
Rome Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but passionate. Relationships are built over coffee and long discussions.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM lunch break. Italians value relationship building ("La Bella Figura"); always maintain a professional but warm and engaged tone. Business slows down significantly during the "Ferragosto" period in August.
