Los Angeles Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and networking-heavy. Influenced by the entertainment and tech industries.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings are often spent dealing with East Coast syncs; domestic LA calls are best between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. The culture is more casual than NYC, but still very results-oriented. Traffic is the ultimate local variable; virtual meetings are the standard for avoiding commute-related delays.
Rome Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but passionate. Relationships are built over coffee and long discussions.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM lunch break. Italians value relationship building ("La Bella Figura"); always maintain a professional but warm and engaged tone. Business slows down significantly during the "Ferragosto" period in August.
