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.
Rome Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but passionate. Relationships are built over coffee and long discussions.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM lunch break. Italians value relationship building ("La Bella Figura"); always maintain a professional but warm and engaged tone. Business slows down significantly during the "Ferragosto" period in August.
