Without AI call handling, 85% of those callers never leave a message. Arwyn answers every after-hours call, qualifies the prospect, and books appointments — recovering approximately $299,000 in previously lost annual revenue. ## Key data points - 27% of insurance inquiries happen outside standard business hours, with peak evening volume between 7-9 PM. - After-hours AI call handling recovers approximately $299,000 in annually lost revenue for the average insurance agent. Insurance is not a 9-to-5 business for clients. People think about insurance when they think about their families — which is often in the evening, on weekends, and during quiet moments away from work. ## The After-Hours Opportunity ### When Prospects Call - **27% of insurance inquiries** happen outside standard business hours - **Peak evening hours**: 7-9 PM (after dinner, kids in bed, thinking about finances) - **Weekend inquiries**: 15% of total weekly call volume - **Holiday spikes**: Life events (births, marriages, deaths) do not follow business hours ### What Happens Without After-Hours Coverage 1. Prospect calls at 8:30 PM 2. Gets your voicemail 3. Does not leave a message (85% probability) 4. Googles another agent 5. Calls a competitor the next morning 6.
