What day/time during the week you guys find to be most effective when Cold calling/prospecting/Following up? Is there any correlation between the time/day vs rate of response?

My extended team data says that prospecting is most successful on Tuesdays and funny enough, late Fridays.ย

Noted! interesting about Fridays, perhaps the ease of the weekend makes them more open to respond. Thanks!ย

Jumping on this, I love Fridays.ย  People are in a much better mood on a Friday afternoon.ย

The best time to make a cold call is right now.

With over 30,000 calls completed over the last year, I can tell you that our team has success at all times.

So get of your lazy ass, pick up the phone and make that call.

And then, make #onemorecall

Because each call brings you closer to the creating a massive pipeline and achieving your dreams.

Each company and rep will find a specific day and time that seems to work great for them. But the broader data is pretty ambiguous. Just trial and error is the best way forward.

Cold calling on Thursdays & Fridays have worked for me and my team. Monday and Tuesdays usually found to be bad since everyone's calendar is packed. Try calls between 9-11 or 5-6...

it really depends on what job roles you're targeting. C suite will be most available at the crack of dawn. call them at 7am.

Almost always get the highest response rates early or late in the day Monday Tuesday or Friday. Can't explain it but take advantage as best I can

I find sometimes sending a call to action email / follow up Friday afternoon knowing fully well they arenโ€™t going to see it works as Monday morning itโ€™s sat near the top of the inbox. Message them early Monday morning on the same thread and it bumps the original one up.

Tuesdays. Monday people are putting out fires. Friday, they are receptive just because they're done for the week.ย

Thoughts on the Agoge Sequence for prospecting? Apparently provides 2x response rates for cold outreach...

For all you mail mergers out there, do you see more success emailing one DM or all DMs on a custom thread? I've noticed that putting all relevant DMs on one campaign that is 100% customized to their business has a much higher response rate (28% meeting sucess)
