Dar es Salaam Business Pulse
- Culture Professional but values social harmony and hospitality.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. Business is polite and values social harmony. A few words in Swahili (like "Habari") go a long way in building rapport. Take time for personal greetings before starting the business agenda. Punctuality is appreciated but can be fluid.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse
- Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
