Istanbul Business Pulse

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.

Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Professionals in Rotterdam are famously direct and value efficiency above all. Avoid overly complex pitches; focus on practical solutions and clear results. Respect the standard 9-5 workday strictly. Direct honesty is highly respected.
