London Business Pulse
- Culture London business culture is generally formal but collaborative. "Flexi-Fridays" are common in the summer.
- Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Avoid calling after 4:30 PM on Fridays as many offices wind down early for the weekend. Mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) between 10 AM and 4 PM is the "Golden Window" for reaching decision-makers. Always start with a brief polite inquiry about their day before diving into business.
Portland Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and values sustainability and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a very casual professional environment (informal dress is the norm). Punctuality is still important, but the vibe is collaborative and egalitarian. Many in Portland value their work-life balance, so avoid late evening calls.
