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.
London Business Pulse
- Culture London business culture is generally formal but collaborative. "Flexi-Fridays" are common in the summer.
- Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Avoid calling after 4:30 PM on Fridays as many offices wind down early for the weekend. Mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) between 10 AM and 4 PM is the "Golden Window" for reaching decision-makers. Always start with a brief polite inquiry about their day before diving into business.
