Take back your time - and still raise more money Greetings friends,
What’s the TL;DR? Your callers can now instantly send follow-ups responses right from the Call Time Mobile app; we have a really exciting group dialing feature on the horizon for Call Time Mobile users; and, Antonia Koch shares some of her advice for running a successful call time.
Time is your most precious resource on a campaign.
I’m so gratified to see so many of you gearing up for the next election cycle with us and making use of tools like Call Time Mobile to help you run a winning campaign. It’s been really exciting to see so many new people getting involved in politics at all levels.
Two cycles ago, we were all still using printed call sheets and big binders, but now we see more mobile solutions coming into the market to help meet candidates where they are. What I love about Call Time Mobile is that it’s tightly integrated with what you are already doing in NGP. It’s simple, it's direct, and it's less expensive than all the other choices out there. And, we have big plans to make it even better. This month, we added customizable email and SMS response templates your callers can use to send thank-yous or follow-up messages as soon as their call is finished. This tightens up the feedback loop and simplifies the process for everyone so that even candidates with a small staff can make sure their follow-ups happen right away, rather than hours or days later. Making the best use of your time is what it's all about.
Call Time is a huge investment of focus and energy on the part of your candidate. So, you want to make sure you are making the best use of their time. And, we are here to make sure you succeed. Antonia Koch, our Director of Fundraising Campaigns, understands the life of finance directors and call time managers. She raised millions of dollars for some of the highest-profile campaigns in the country and she knows that to be really successful with Call Time, it’s important to be detail-oriented and set up the process early so you're not scrambling or dropping important calls.
Antonia’s collected some of her best wisdom and practical advice into a new Call Time Success Guide that will help you set up your process in NGP the right way, so you can raise more during this cycle.
I think everyone involved in Call Time should read this guide, whether you’re just getting started with NGP or you’re more experienced but looking for ways to improve your process.
