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.

Sapporo Business Pulse

Culture Hardworking and resilient. Influenced by its cold climate and seasonal industries.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Business culture is professional and steady. In winter, be mindful that travel and some local operations may be affected by snow. Punctuality and standard Japanese professional protocols are highly respected here.
