Medellin Business Pulse
- Culture Entrepreneurial, warm, and rapidly transforming into a tech hub.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. "Paisas" (Medellin locals) are known for being exceptionally friendly and polite. Personal rapport is vital; always include a warm greeting and inquiry before diving into business. Early morning meetings (8 AM) are quite common.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
