Houston Business Pulse
- Culture Focused on energy, medical, and aerospace. Professional and direct.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Houston is a practical, results-oriented city. The Central Time Zone is ideal for North American coordination. While professional, the culture has a touch of "Southern hospitality," so a friendly opening is always appropriate.
Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
