Why replies after hours go cold
- They asked others too.
A homeowner with a leak writes to several contractors the same evening. The first useful reply often gets the visit.
- The moment passes.
By the next morning they have moved on to work, family, or the contractor who already wrote back.
- A reply is not a booking.
"Thanks, we'll be in touch" still leaves them to chase you. A time to come and look settles it.

Questions
How is it calculated?
After-hours requests a month = requests a week × 4.33 × the share that arrive after hours. Jobs you may be losing = that × your win rate × the share you think you lose by replying late. Value at stake = jobs × your average job value, and × 12 for a year.
