Mexico City Business Pulse

  • Culture Formal but friendly. Titles and hierarchy are respected, and small talk is essential before business.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Main meal of the day).
  • Pro Tip The 2 PM - 4 PM lunch window is strictly for eating and socializing; do not expect business availability then. Best call times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM or after 4:30 PM. Use formal titles (Licenciado, Ingeniero) until specifically invited to use first names.

Sao Paulo Business Pulse

  • Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
