How much do you think the day you are cold calling matters? I feel like I get a lot more no’s on Monday and yeses towards the end of the week.

Friday's a great day to fill next week, but you just have to watch the flake factor.

Agree

Thursday afternoons have been bad days for me but fridays and saturdays always great reception.

The flake factor is bad. I cannot get people to show up! So frustrating.

The day matters a lot.

So which days are typically good and bad? Is it better to cold call every day or just on certain days? What time of day is best?

Always had success Friday and Saturday morning. Would spend time Monday confirming appointments. That helped the flake factor a bit.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

Ive accepted an offer going from a SM role to M role at EY in the CCas team , London office. Can anyone confirm how often one needs to come into the office, as my commute is from Hampshire . In my current role I rarely go to the office, i.e once every few months (also in London) and am considering backing out due to the additional commuting cost and less flexible work life balance.
