Oslo Business Pulse

- Pro Tip Norwegians start their day early; 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM is the best window. The work day often ends early, especially on Fridays or during the summer (sometimes as early as 3:00 PM). Be direct, honest, and avoid any "hard-sell" tactics. Work-life balance is extremely respected.
