Synchronization Context

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.

Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse

  • Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
