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.
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.
