    There are several ways to ask for a phone call. Here are some of them:

    Ask a question about the job (e.g. “Will you be able to discuss the details of the job?”)
    Ask a question that requires action or clarification (e.g. “Can we meet for coffee next week?”)
    Ask a question that requires an answer (e.g. “I’m free on Monday. What about lunch?”)
    Use an emoticon to express your interest (e.g. 🙂 “Will you have time for lunch on Tuesday?”)

    I’ve seen all of these. I usually use:

    “Would it be possible for me to talk to you at your convenience?”
    Try not to sound too eager. I think people don’t like that.
    I agree with you. It’s always better to sound as if you’re making a request, rather than asking for a favor. It’s more polite and less aggressive.
    I’d say the best way to ask is: “If it’s okay, could we talk on the phone?” It’s polite, professional, and neutral.
