Chengdu Business Pulse
- Culture Known for a better work-life balance than the coast. "Lively and relaxed".
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Chengdu business is famous for being done over local tea or spicy Sichuan food; if on a video call, keep the atmosphere warm and friendly. Personal rapport is more important here than in the high-pressure coastal cities like Shenzhen.
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.
