If necessary, call early in the day. If you aren't sure how your prospecting voice sounds after a full day of business conversations, record yourself at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The next morning, listen to both and pay attention to any audible differences. If they don't sound different, congratulations! You're a tortoise and can make calls any time. However, if they do sound different, figure out how to keep your voice fresh-as-a-daisy or your results will be variable.
