Hong Kong Business Pulse

  • Culture Fast-paced, efficient, and highly international. Values both Western efficiency and Eastern heritage.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM or 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM lunch hour. Business is fast and professional; be prepared with your data and ready to make decisions. Like Singapore, punctuality and professional titles are highly respected.

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.
