Manchester Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, direct, and entrepreneurial. A major hub for media, tech, and commerce.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Mancunians are known for their directness and "no-nonsense" approach to business. A friendly, down-to-earth tone is appreciated. Avoid calling late on Friday afternoon as the work week winds down.
Shanghai Business Pulse
- Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
- Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
