Sao Paulo Business Pulse
- Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
Tianjin Business Pulse
- Culture Major port city. Practical, industrial, and trade-oriented.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
