Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and St Louis is challenging due to the 9 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

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.

St Louis Business Pulse

Culture Midwestern values of friendliness and hard work. Business is professional but often involves personal connection.
Lunch Break Typically 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Operating in Central Time (CST/CDT), St Louis is a perfect bridge for coast-to-coast US calls. Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the most engaged responses. A friendly, personal opening is culturally expected before diving into technical or business details.
