Best time to call a broker?

I have good contact at a BB that I've talked on the phone. He works as a broker and initially contacted me to meet up and such when I get back in town (I'm on vacation). It's nearing my time to return and I want to set something up. I called recently trying to catch him before dinner but after work but he was busy and said he'd call me back, but didn't. I understand these people are busy and I'm gracious that he called me to begin with. My question is when is the best time/day to contact him? He works in prime brokerage.

Thank you.

Thank you for the responses.

However, I'd much rather call. If I email I'm afraid I'll get blown off. Is there no sort of best time to call during the work day?

 

When you have money to give him, he'll definitely take your call then, trust me.
