Today’s the Total Solar Eclipse, which means we’ve been fielding a lot of caller questions about what it actually means for calls tonight.
Short answer: nothing you need to prepare for logistically, but there’s a real energy shift a lot of people notice around eclipses, callers included. Some people report feeling more intense, more reflective, more likely to say the thing they’ve been sitting on. If your regulars seem a little different tonight, that’s probably why.
A few common questions we’ve gotten: does the eclipse affect call volume? Not predictably, but plenty of Flirts report a slight uptick in late-night calls on eclipse nights. Should you change anything about how you approach calls today? Not necessarily, but leaning into the “something’s different tonight” feeling if a caller brings it up tends to land well.
Mostly, treat it like any other Tuesday with slightly higher stakes energy. If a caller wants to talk about the eclipse itself, that’s an easy, natural conversation starter that a lot of people are thinking about today anyway.
