Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and Medellin 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.

Medellin Business Pulse

Culture Entrepreneurial, warm, and rapidly transforming into a tech hub.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. "Paisas" (Medellin locals) are known for being exceptionally friendly and polite. Personal rapport is vital; always include a warm greeting and inquiry before diving into business. Early morning meetings (8 AM) are quite common.
