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.

Tehran Business Pulse

  • Culture Relationship-heavy and formal. Respect for hierarchy is paramount.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The work week is Saturday to Wednesday. Thursday is often a half-day. Call between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Iranian business culture is very formal and involves "Taarof" (a complex system of etiquette); be patient, polite, and avoid rushing into business without proper greetings.
