Sending an email late Sunday afternoon or early Sunday evening can be a great way to reach a lead or prospect who just hasn’t responded yet to other prospecting attempts.
Sending an email this time of the week to a mid-level manager can be a great way to catch them, as most managers do spend time early Sunday evening going through email, seeing what their week to come is going to be like. Many times an email you send will get far more attention on a Sunday than it would during the week.
The reason is simple. During the week, the mid-level manager is swimming in problems and they simply don’t have time to deal with any email that isn’t 100% related to their immediate needs. Sunday evening can be just the time you need to be able to capture the person’s attention for 30 seconds to read your email.
