Mornings or afternoons for cold calling?

When do reps find the best time for cold calling is? Personally for me in APAC I feel that after 11:30am AU/NZ are awake and ready to take calls, different in other regions?

What time do you usually like to cold call?

US.. my call blocks are before 10am, 11:30-1:30, and any time after 4.

If I call at random points of the day then itโ€™s all about the โ€œin between meetingsโ€ at the 55-hour markย

Normally I'll do mornings but I do like to mix it up once and a while.

Don't really target a specific time. I just stay away from lunch hours and Friday afternoons.ย

Agree with everyone here, it's a numbers game but look at your data too if you're using a sales engagement platform. Most will tell you when your best day & time of day to call is. Leverage that & if the phones start to go silent look at it again & adjust as needed.

11-12 then lunch break and call again from 1-3, give or take some hours depending on how am I hitting my goals.ย
