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.

Marseille Business Pulse

  • Culture Pragmatic, relationship-heavy, and influenced by its status as a major Mediterranean port.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Business culture in Marseille is relational; spend time on introductions and building trust. Directness is appreciated, but it should be polite. Avoid the 12:30-2 PM lunch break strictly. Personal presence is highly valued.
