Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and Lima is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

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.

Lima Business Pulse

Culture Professional but values personal rapport. Directness is appreciated but should be polite.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
Pro Tip The ideal time for calls is 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Peruvians value personal trust and long-term relationships. Traffic in Lima is notoriously bad, so virtual meetings are often preferred. Business is professional but includes a warm, personal element.
