The Best Time to Make Sales Calls and Convert Leads

Sonja Headshot
By Sonja Fridell

Yep! There have actually been studies on the best time of the day and week to make a sales call and convert leads. Hint, Friday is NOT a good day!

Here at BrainSell, we’re serious students of LeadResponseManagement.org. They’re the ones who have picked apart 3 years of data across 6 companies (collected by InsideSales.com) to understand when the best time of the day/week is to get the following:

  1. Best time and day of the week to call and make contact with a lead
  2. Best time and day of the week to call and initially qualify a lead
  3. Best time and day of the week to contact a lead to ultimately qualify them
  4. Response times from the initial point of lead creation (AKA how long it takes a rep to call a new lead)

Now, #4 is a favorite of ours. Some people think we act too fast, but we call within 5 MINUTES of a lead being created. Turns out, LeadResponseManagmeent.org agrees with us!

BrainSell helps companies deploy business software to grow their companies, but we also advise on process. Software is useless without people using it well. Check out the study that we use as our mantra, and if you don’t have the software to support it, call us!
