As I'm starting to get the ball rolling with finding off market deals, I've seen much success from cold calling during the week while I have time. I still have a full time W2 job, but do the best I can calling during the day, and end up only doing about 30 cold calls per week. The days I have off is Sunday and Monday. Monday Is obviously a great day for me to get to work, but I've always felt resistance calling on weekends. I'm curious what others think; Is it rude and bothersome to call on weekends? I understand for the people not willing to sell anyway its an annoyance to call regardless. But for the people in distress, am I more likely to catch them "at a bad time" during weekends, or am I just overthinking and resistance is getting the best of me?
I don't think receiving calls on the weekend is much different than receiving a call after work.
People may be busy on the weekends with their families, but at the same time, some people may be busy after 5pm during the week if they are the type that works late.
You are going to encounter upset people regardless, so I'd rather get more find calls in, regardless of the day, and reach more potential sellers.
