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.

Nanjing Business Pulse

  • Culture Cultural and educational center. Professional and somewhat conservative.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Nanjing business culture is more conservative and formal than in Shanghai. Maintain a respectful, steady tone. Education and long-term relationships are highly valued, so avoid being overly aggressive in your initial approach.
