Moscow Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, formal, and results-oriented. Trust is earned through performance and reliability.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Russian business culture can be very direct and formal; do not mistake a lack of small talk for a lack of interest. Be prepared with solid data and a clear "bottom line" for your discussion.
Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
