Nashville Business Pulse
- Culture Entrepreneurial, friendly, and relationship-driven. A major hub for healthcare and music.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Nashville values a friendly, personal touch in business. Relationship building is vital before diving into the agenda. Central Time is great for national syncs. Maintain a warm, polite, and professional tone in all communications.
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.
