Montreal Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, bilingual, and values professional etiquette with a European flair.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Montreal is a bilingual city; always start with "Bonjour" or "Bonjour-Hi." Business culture is sophisticated and values a bit more "flair" and social connection than in Toronto. Punctuality and professional etiquette are highly respected.
Shanghai Business Pulse
- Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
- Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
