How can TownHall Meeting Calls benefit my campaign?
The most important way TownHall Meeting Calls can benefit a campaign is to "sell" the Politician to many voters at one time
The Politician gets to educate constituents on their views, persuade voters that they are the right candidate, and answer ONLY the "right" questions.� This is unlike a traditional in-person town hall meeting.� With TownHall Meeting Calls, constituents press a button on their phone if they would like to ask a question.� They then get transferred to a screener who finds out information about who they are and the question they would like to ask.� The screener can make notes to the Politician to remind them of how they know the person, how the Politician voted on an issue and why, and any other pertinent information the Politician might need to answer the question smoothly and knowledgeably. Typically far more voters want to ask a question than the time allows, so the Politician can have his pick of which questions are most important or effect the most people and answer those ones in any order he or she wishes.� The constituents who don�t get their questions answered during the TownHall Meeting Call will automatically be asked to leave a voicemail so someone with the campaign can give them a call back.
TownHall Meeting Calls are also a great fundraising tool.
While on the call, participants can press *0 and be removed from the TownHall Meeting Call and connected to your chosen call center.� Once the donation is made, the participant is put back into the TownHall Meeting Call.� The Politician can tell potential donors exactly what he or she is going to do for them in office and ask for their money to help.�
TownHall Meeting Calls are a great polling tool.
While on the call, the Speaker can take a poll and have the participants press buttons for their answer.� For example, if you are trying to figure out what you should do with your budget surplus, you might say, "Press one if you want a rebate check, press two to have us save it for the future, or press three to go to enticing businesses to come to our area."� You will be able to see the results real time and know that 65% pressed that they wanted to save it for the future.� The Speaker can tell everyone on the call the results and then go on to take another poll.
Participants love to be consultant by Politicians.�
People want to know that their voice matters and they tend to re-elect people who listen. TownHall Meeting Calls provides an easy way to let voters know you care about what they think.� Some of the participants comments after participating in a TownHall Meeting Call were, "a blessing," "thank you for thinking of me," "thank you for listening," "its about time," "you are the first politician that ever cared what I thought."
TownHall Meeting Calls� capacity is huge.
Our phone system can call up to 100,000 audio-only participants, but typically fewer calls are needed to fill one up.� Depending on how big of a TownHall Meeting Call you want, we will dial to make sure the "room" is always full. We can have up to 6,000 on the call at any point.� Up to 1,700 inbound calls can be mixed with outbound calls making a max of 6,000 participates at one time.� A combination of TV and radio driven inbound calls or any other method along with outbound calls can be utilized.� Inbound calls can have individualized PIN�s to minimize the risk of troublemakers from the opposition getting on the call.� Most of the time, we dial like crazy to fill the meeting up to the level you want and then keep dialing at a slow pace as people drop out.
