Paris Business Pulse

  • Lunch Break12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro TipNever call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; this "sacred" lunch window is for refueling and relationship building. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the most productive for reaching senior management. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
