Hi Chris,
I am calling across EU and so lunch break becomes a hurdle, as it's 1 PM in UK, but 3 PM where I am located, and 2PM across FR, NL, GE, SP, etc.
I prefer calling UK in the afternoon, and more of Nl. and Belgium in the morning - I know people in that area most likely are not going to stay up late to work, whereas in France or UK you might find it exactly the other way around.
I like to prioritize countries on my calling list (also because I might use French or English, and I don't want to keep changing language all the time)
So for me it would be:
- schedule depending on country
- call taking into account cultural nuances
- call depending on language used
Hope this helps.
