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.

Philadelphia Business Pulse

Culture Hardworking, direct, and values heritage and education.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Philadelphians are known for being direct and hardworking. The city is a major hub for healthcare, biotech, and research; technical expertise and clear, data-backed arguments are highly valued in professional discussions.
