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.

Nagoya Business Pulse

  • Culture The heart of Japan's manufacturing (Toyota). Values precision and long-term stability.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Nagoya is the precision engineering capital; be prepared for very detailed, technical discussions. Punctuality is non-negotiable. Building a long-term, stable relationship is more important than achieving quick, one-off sales.
