Santiago Business Pulse

  • Culture Professional and relatively formal for the region. Values stability and trust.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Chileans are generally more reserved and formal than their neighbors. Punctuality is expected in corporate settings. Building trust through reliable performance is more effective than aggressive "fast-talk" sales tactics.

Tokyo Business Pulse

  • Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (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.
