So is it ok to make calls today and saturday?? I don't want to upset anyone by calling them this weekend.
 
If you're comfortable doing it, I don't see an issue. Most people do regular business on Good Friday with, maybe, a morning or mid-day break for services. Saturday is fair game, IMHO.
 
I was wondering the same thing. I have the time to make calls today but do not want to offend anyone because of the religious holiday. What do you all think?
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one worried about this. I decided that today (Friday) and Saturday during the day would be okay.
 
I booked a show by calling and just received an email request to find a date for a show so people are thinking of PC today :). Maybe they have more TIME to think about it right now. It's days like today that I think I should do MORE with family and friends...among other things of course.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make calls this weekend without upsetting my friends and family?

It's important to consider the preferences of your friends and family. If you know they are generally busy on weekends, it might be better to schedule your calls for a weekday evening. However, if you have their consent or know they are available, making calls can be perfectly fine.

What time should I avoid making calls during the weekend?

Avoid calling early in the morning or late in the evening. Generally, calling between 10 AM and 8 PM is considered acceptable, but it's best to check if your contacts have specific preferences.

How can I ensure my calls are well-received?

To ensure your calls are well-received, consider sending a quick text or message beforehand to ask if it's a good time to chat. This shows respect for their time and increases the likelihood of a positive conversation.

What if someone expresses that they don't want to be called?

If someone expresses that they prefer not to receive calls, it's essential to respect their wishes. You can offer to communicate via text or email instead, which can be less intrusive.

Is there a way to make my calls more effective during the weekend?

Yes! Prepare a clear agenda for your calls and focus on the benefits of your products. Be enthusiastic and respectful of their time, and try to keep the conversation concise while still being engaging.
