They spend 21 % of their day writing emails, 17% entering data, and another 17% prospecting and researching leads, 12% goes to internal meetings, and 12% on scheduled calls. So, when are they selling?

Follow a lead scoring technique such as BANT (Budget, Authority, Need and Timing)
It's simple, make sure you state the purpose of email, what will the reader get out of meeting or talking to you, and make it easy for them to schedule the time. You can either include a calendar link or make some suggested on times you are available.
