Kinshasa Business Pulse
- Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.
Mexico City Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but friendly. Titles and hierarchy are respected, and small talk is essential before business.
- Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Main meal of the day).
- Pro Tip The 2 PM - 4 PM lunch window is strictly for eating and socializing; do not expect business availability then. Best call times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM or after 4:30 PM. Use formal titles (Licenciado, Ingeniero) until specifically invited to use first names.
