Tehran Business Pulse

Culture Relationship-heavy and formal. Respect for hierarchy is paramount.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip The work week is Saturday to Wednesday. Thursday is often a half-day. Call between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Iranian business culture is very formal and involves "Taarof" (a complex system of etiquette); be patient, polite, and avoid rushing into business without proper greetings.

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.
