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.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse
- Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
