Synchronization Context

Riga Business Pulse

Culture Professional, reserved, and values reliability and education. A major Baltic financial and transport hub.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Latvian business culture is professional and somewhat reserved. Reliability and clear performance are most important. Maintain a steady, professional tone. Punctuality is highly valued. Avoid overly aggressive or "loud" sales tactics.

Shanghai Business Pulse

Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
