Cebu Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, hospitable, and a major BPO and tourism hub. Very Westernized professional tone.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Standard business calls are best between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Cebuanos are exceptionally polite and friendly. The tech and BPO sectors operate on global schedules, but for local offices, stick to standard times. Avoid overly blunt language and maintain a warm, polite tone.
Mexico City Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but friendly. Titles and hierarchy are respected, and small talk is essential before business.
- Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Main meal of the day).
- Pro Tip The 2 PM - 4 PM lunch window is strictly for eating and socializing; do not expect business availability then. Best call times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM or after 4:30 PM. Use formal titles (Licenciado, Ingeniero) until specifically invited to use first names.
