Glasgow Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Glaswegians are known for their directness and down-to-earth approach. A friendly, straightforward tone is most effective. Avoid overly complex jargon and focus on practical results and mutual benefit.
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.
