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.
Zurich Business Pulse
- Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality in Switzerland is non-negotiable; being even one minute late is considered a serious lack of professionalism. Keep your discussion focused, data-driven, and highly organized. Avoid calling during the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
