5 Telemarketing Through our three fully owned and operated call centers, our dedicated professional fundraisers solicit pledges and credit card gifts for your organization. They are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to maximize contacts without sacrificing quality or results. And of course they are always well trained and well informed, so that they do more than raise money- they represent you with integrity. Donor Renewal and Reinstatement Your organization thrives on the support of loyal and generous donors. That s why we work hard to enhance your donor base. On a regular basis, we reach out to your faithful supporters with new, compelling reasons to renew their support. We also reinstate your past supporters by contacting donors who haven t given in 3 or more years. Many of these lapsed donors still appreciate the work you do, and are happy to give again. Creation of New Donors We re always happy to work with your existing donor base, but we also know that there are more people out there who would love to support your organization. Drawing from acquired lists and our proprietary database of phone- responsive individuals, our database team identifies the highest quality leads who are most likely to respond to your message. And our professional fundraisers make the most of their effort to convert leads into donors -- these calls typically pair volunteer recruitment or education with the donation request, so that your organization may gain support in other ways. Other Types of Calling Imagine all of the other things that your volunteers could be doing on Election Day if you had a professional team of Get Out the Vote callers. With state-of-the-art technology, our staff far exceeds the contact rate and efficiency of manual dialing and volunteers. If you have a survey or poll question, we can tagret specific regions and demographics. We have the database to track responses, and the software to report the results to you.
