Callfire Call Bank and Auto Dial for Your Campaign
Today on the Red Alert Podcast I spent some time with Jacob Weiss from CallFire. CallFire gives campaigns the ability to streamline their outbound call bank activity OR get very affordable auto-dialing (we probably still call them RoboCalls). After a great interview I am very impressed with this offering.
Here’s the basic premise: You the candidate want to run your campaign and keep costs low. You’d like to arrange for a “Call Bank” or in simple terms, “You’d like to allow volunteers or paid people make outbound calls to lists of numbers on your behalf.” You might consider having your friends, family, and volunteers do this for you on their own time. This is possible…but it’s pretty inefficient especially if you’d like GOOD data on who was reached, the consistency of the messages left, capturing what WAS said about the candidate or the likelihood of voting for him/her, etc.
CallFire lets you have an army of people login to a central “mother ship” in the cloud…anywhere…anytime via their computer.
- The volunteer or staffer dials into the mother-ship on a cell phone, land line, or VOIP (skype or whatever they have available).
- The caller is fed calls through a queue and can hit the “leave a message” button on their console (that saves a ton of time without actually having to leave the message each time.)
- If the call recipient answers the caller can capture notes and ask a series of questions according to a script or work flow and those answers are captured.
- The caller then pushes “End Call” and the next auto-dialed phone call can be accepted.
It’s really quite slick. So here’s the deal…listen to our Podcast and get the big picture. Then, definitely watch this CallFire video demonstration. This video will give you the lay of the land. Very impressive. Oh and pricing…is fantastic! The system will absolutely spike your efficiency for as little as $2/hour. How about sending an auto-dial message out to ONE THOUSAND NUMBERS for as low as $35! (details on their site)
And…as always…in my quest for deals to run your campaign more efficiently and inexpensively…we’ve gotten a sweet deal from CallFire. If you’re looking to do a robocall or “voice broadcast” as they say in the business, just mention that you’re a non-profit that heard about CallFire in Operation Red State’s podcast and receive a 16% discount off your Voice Broadcast campaign.
