I had a cold call at 21.15 this evening. I pointed out that it was 9.15 on a Friday night and not a suitable time to be calling people, but what is a suitable time?
I know these people are just doing a job, and I try to be polite, and if I am not interested I just say so, I don't subscribe to all this just leaving them talking to thin air, or blowing a whistle down the phone. It does irritate me slightly when I saw 'it's not convenient right now' and they respond it will only take 5 minutes. That may be so, but not convenient means not convenient if it is 1, 5 or 50 minutes!!!
I think before 9am and after 7pm is not suitable, and never on a Sunday, though I guess Saturday is ok.
