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.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse
- Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
