Glasgow Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, direct, and entrepreneurial. A center for engineering, tech, and services.
- 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.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
