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.
Krakow Business Pulse
- Culture Academic, tech-savvy, and professional. A major hub for global service centers and IT.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Krakow has a very international and professional tech scene. Use professional titles initially until invited to use first names. Punctuality is highly valued. Clear, logical, and data-driven discussions are standard in this intellectual hub.
