Monterrey Business Pulse
- Culture Industrial, ambitious, and the business powerhouse of northern Mexico.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Business culture in Monterrey is more fast-paced and similar to the US than in Mexico City. However, personal trust and formal greetings are still vital. Avoid calling during the 1:30-3:30 PM lunch window strictly.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
