What the agent found

Medium confidence

126 of October's 300 inquiries arrived after 6 pm or on a weekend, and 61% of them asked for an evening or Saturday time. The first reply sent a booking link instead of times, and after-hours inquiries booked 17% of the time against 32% during the day.

Conversations behind it

  • J.R. · NorthgateAnything after work, like 6 or 7?Oct 21Didn't book
  • M.K. · NorthgateEvenings are easiest. Thursday?Oct 15Didn't book
  • T.S. · LakesideWhat times do you have in the evening?Oct 12Booked

What it might mean

  • 77 of 126 after-hours inquiries asked for an evening or Saturday
  • 64 of those got only a booking link back
  • Northgate and Lakeside have 40% of evening sessions open

Another explanation. After-hours inquiries come more often from Meta, which books less at any hour. The test compares like with like, so it can separate the two.
