Ideal Cuba hours

The best windows to reach Cuba.

Four factors that decide when a Cuban prospect picks up — built around the CST midday break.

Pro tip

For Cuba, 9–11:30 AM CST on a weekday delivers the highest connect rate, before the long midday break empties offices.

Consider time zones

Ensure your call aligns with the local time zone so you never accidentally ring at an unreasonable hour.

Workday schedules

Most professionals are reachable 9 AM – 5 PM local time. Avoid the lunch window from 12–1 PM for the best pickup rates.

Avoid peak hours

Early mornings and late evenings get ignored. Mid-morning (9–11 AM) and post-lunch (2–4 PM) see the highest engagement.

Weekday vs. weekend

Business calls belong on weekdays. Personal calls can flex into weekends. Matching the day to the purpose lifts response rates.
