Vientiane Business Pulse

  • Culture Relaxed, polite, and relationship-driven. Business is personal and moves steadily.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Laotian business culture is known for being polite and less fast-paced than neighboring hubs. Take time for personal greetings. Hierarchy and social harmony are important. Decisions are often made through consensus over several meetings.

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.
