Telephone Forums
This new technology has previously been used almost exclusively by Congressman in Washington D.C. to maintain contact with their constituents at home. Only recently did we expand its use to promote state and local candidate campaigns. The response from voters was so positive that community leaders have begun to use it as a direct means to communicate with voters about issues and ballot initiatives.
And now we bring this powerful communications tool to you. We will personally manage operations for your live telephone forum, assisting in the navigation and use of our web-based interface. Our software sends customized phone messages to your target audience, allowing them to instantly join your live conference. Calls that go to voice mail receive a separate message detailing your reason for calling.
We will help you to craft your message, direct the flow of conversation throughout your forum, and maximize the organizational benefit before and after your conference. Plus, a representative of PD Connect will manage your call on-site to ensure a smooth and productive forum.
This web-based platform allows for three modes of communication:
During forums that promote a message to a broad audience, a single host can limit or expand the focus of the conversation, and selectively choose screened participants based on the desired direction of the forum.
During forums that promote open conversation amongst participants, a number of administrators can access the web-based control room and communicate with each other via a real-time chat room. Meanwhile, call recipients can continue to voice their opinions in the live telephone forum.
Finally, real-time polling allows the host to gather the opinions of participants. The host directs the audience to weigh in on a pre-set poll with a list of up to ten responses. Each listener can then vote their response by pressing the corresponding number on their touch-tone phone.
The polling feature allows you to ID participants with the issue they care most about, the product they are most interested in, household or individual demographic information, etc. |
