Dallas Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, direct, and ambitious. Big focus on finance and tech.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Business in Texas is often bold and fast-paced. Directness is appreciated, but it should be accompanied by a friendly, confident tone. The Central Time Zone position makes it a powerful hub for national business coordination.
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.
