The best time to make phone calls depends on your personal schedule and preferences. Some people may find success in making calls in the morning when their mind is fresh and they have more energy. Others may prefer to make calls in the afternoon when they have completed their daily tasks and are more relaxed. It is important to consider the time zones of the people you are calling as well. If you are calling someone in a different time zone, it would be advisable to make the call during their business hours. Ultimately, the best time to make phone calls is when you feel most productive and comfortable. If you find that you resent making calls at night, try switching to a different time of day and see if it makes a difference in your success. Experiment with different times until you find what works best for you.
