Question about those 'always be pitching' advice posts

I thought chasing new clients every week was crazy until I landed a $5k project from a cold email I sent on a whim. Has anyone else found a specific time of day that works best for outreach?

Actually, the whole idea of a perfect time is kind of a trap... people check their phones constantly. A lunchtime email just gets buried in the afternoon pile. The real trick is catching someone when they're bored, like super late or super early, before the daily chaos starts. That's when a cold email feels like a distraction, not another task. Timing barely matters if your subject line is boring anyway.

Honestly, I have way better luck sending emails right after lunch.

That's interesting, my experience is totally different. I find people are often still in a post-lunch slump then. For me, mid-morning gets way more replies, maybe because everyone's finally caffeinated and caught up.
