Lagos Business Pulse
- Culture High-energy and entrepreneurial. "The hustle" is a way of life, and business is fast-moving.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Be extremely patient with technical issues (power/internet) and have a backup plan like WhatsApp. Lagosians are very entrepreneurial; if you reach them, expect a fast-paced and pragmatic conversation.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
