It can be very jarring when somebody is called out of the blue and they are not expecting it. They might be deep in a task or talking to a client and by calling them their focus is getting disrupted. There should be "no hot calling".
It can be very jarring when somebody is called out of the blue and they are not expecting it. They might be deep in a task or talking to a client and by calling them their focus is getting disrupted.

Before calling someone, be sure [not to just say 'hello'](/no-hello).

A good way to initiate a call is to warm them up by giving a warning (e.g. *“Calling you in 1 min to talk about the Northwind production site being down 💀.”*).

**Warm Calling:** Give a warning, then call.
**Hot Calling:** There's no need to give a warning, as the person you are calling is expecting your pre-arranged call.
