Dublin Business Pulse
- Culture Tech-heavy, friendly, and relationship-driven. A major European hub for global tech giants.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Irish business culture is famous for being friendly and relational ("The gift of the gab"); always take time for personal rapport before diving into the agenda. Mid-week calls are typically the most productive.
Guangzhou Business Pulse
- Culture Pragmatic and trade-focused. Known for "Canton Fair" and a deep history in international commerce.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The 12-2 PM lunch window is very important; avoid calling then. Best times are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM. While Cantonese is the local language, Mandarin is the business standard for non-locals. Pragmatism and efficiency are highly valued in this major trade hub.
