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.

Moscow Business Pulse

  • Culture Direct, formal, and results-oriented. Trust is earned through performance and reliability.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Russian business culture can be very direct and formal; do not mistake a lack of small talk for a lack of interest. Be prepared with solid data and a clear "bottom line" for your discussion.
