Cold Calling IBs between Christmas and New Year

Hi,

I was wondering if cold calling IBs between Christmas and New Year would be a good idea?!

My reasoning is as following:
1. because its Christmas I will get redirected to an analyst instantly
2. people are relaxed because they just had Christmas

Is this reasoning correct?

thanks

3. People are pissed off that they are working during the holidays and the last thing they want to do is speak to some random college kid looking for a job.

I guess you are right but what would be a good time to call?

After the new year.
