Johannesburg Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced and competitive. The economic powerhouse of Africa.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. South African business culture is direct and professional. Be aware of "Load Shedding" (scheduled power outages) which can affect your contact's availability and connectivity; it is a common professional courtesy to check on this.
Paris Business Pulse
- Culture Values work-life balance and high-quality debate. Business lunches can be longer than in NYC or London.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; this "sacred" lunch window is for refueling and relationship building. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the most productive for reaching senior management. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
