Ho Chi Minh City Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and very hardworking.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The "Gold Window" for calls is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Vietnamese business culture is energetic and relationship-driven; deals are often sealing during meals. Small gifts or gestures of respect are common in-person, but for virtual calls, maintain a warm, polite, and enthusiastic tone.
Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
