DealMachine Dialer: Best Time to Call
DealMachine Dialer: Best Time to Call
Updated over 2 months ago

When making phone calls, timing can make all the difference. Choosing the right time to call increases the likelihood of connecting with someone and getting a positive response.

Make phone calls during business hours on weekdays. Calling during weekdays increases the chances of receiving a positive response as people are generally more open to business communications.

  1. Avoid weekends. Calling during weekends can be risky because these days are often considered personal or family time. For many, weekends are a break from the busyness of the workweek, and interrupting that downtime can lead to frustration or negative reactions.
    ​

  2. Try calling mid-week. Mondays are often busy for many and Fridays are usually when most people wrap up their week.
    ​

  3. Consider the lead's time zone. DealMachine helps you prevent calls outside of certain call windows to ensure that you are not calling too early or too late in the day. Our system uses the lead's phone number as a guide to determine the time zone. Below is a list of U.S. states and their time zones:
