- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Omanis are known for being exceptionally polite and professional. Relationship building is a critical first step. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Avoid calling during daily prayer times and during the mid-day heat break.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal 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.
