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.
Monterrey Business Pulse
- Culture Industrial, ambitious, and the business powerhouse of northern Mexico.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Business culture in Monterrey is more fast-paced and similar to the US than in Mexico City. However, personal trust and formal greetings are still vital. Avoid calling during the 1:30-3:30 PM lunch window strictly.
