  • Lunch Break1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro TipCalls are best made between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Miami business is often social and bilingual; do not be surprised if meetings transition between English and Spanish. Relationship building is critical, and many deals are discussed in informal settings like restaurants or cafes.

  • Lunch Break12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro TipIdeal 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.
