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.

Madrid Business Pulse

  • Culture Values networking and personal relationships. The work day often ends later than in Northern Europe.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Never call during the 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM lunch window. The best times are 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM or 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM. Spanish business culture is highly relational; expect to spend time on personal introductions. Note that the city significantly slows down during the month of August.
