Lyon Business Pulse
- Culture Traditional but innovative. Values both industrial heritage and world-class gastronomy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; the lunch break is strictly for dining and networking. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the best for reaching senior leaders. Business culture is formal and values long-term personal trust.
Toronto Business Pulse
- Culture Multicultural, polite, and professional. Similar to NYC but generally more reserved.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Canadians value punctuality and a polite, reserved professional tone. It is similar to NYC but with slightly more emphasis on consensus and less on aggressive directness. Avoid calling after 4:30 PM when the work day is concluding.
