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.

Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Professionals here are known for being polite and collaborative. Relationship building and a friendly opening are culturally expected. Central Time is ideal for national coordination. Business is professional and steady-paced.
