Christchurch Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, resilient, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity" and community.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Like the rest of New Zealand, the vibe is friendly and professional. Resiliency is a key trait here. Be mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
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.
