Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and Mexico City is challenging due to the 9 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.

Mexico City Business Pulse

Culture Formal but friendly. Titles and hierarchy are respected, and small talk is essential before business.
Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Main meal of the day).
Pro Tip The 2 PM - 4 PM lunch window is strictly for eating and socializing; do not expect business availability then. Best call times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM or after 4:30 PM. Use formal titles (Licenciado, Ingeniero) until specifically invited to use first names.
