Geneva Business Pulse
- Culture International, diplomatic, and highly precise. Home to many global NGOs and finance.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality and formal protocol are non-negotiable in this international diplomatic hub. Ensure your communication is organized, clear, and respects established hierarchies. Avoid calling during the 12-1:30 PM lunch slot.
Osaka Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
