Phoenix Business Pulse
- Culture Practical and influenced by the tech and aerospace sectors.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Always double-check the time! Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so its offset with the rest of the US changes twice a year. Reach out between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM. The culture is practical and direct, typical of the growing Mountain West tech hub.
Shenzhen Business Pulse
- Culture Hardware capital of the world. "Shenzhen speed" means ultra-fast prototyping and decision making.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM for the quickest decisions. This is the fastest-paced city in China; expect your contacts to value speed and efficiency above all else. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window. Respond to follow-ups immediately to maintain momentum.
