When is the best time to cold-call a boutique investment bank?

Compiled a list of 10-15 small boutiques that I have applied for today and I know I need to cold-call/ email asap. A fellow wso'ER who's in ib and certified told me that it is ok to be more direct when contacting these firms but I was wondering what time would be best to call?
