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.
Sao Paulo Business Pulse
- Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
