Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese business culture, using "Vamos" makes the suggestion sound collaborative and less imposing. "Reunião de acompanhamento" is the standard term for a follow‑up meeting; avoid "reunião de continuação" which sounds informal and can be misunderstood. Adjust the level of formality by adding "por favor" or using the more formal "marquemos" in written communication.
