Fun Friday – What I’m Into

For this Fun Friday post, I’m sharing a few things that I’m into lately.

Check out this article. I’ve been saying this one for years.

I mean, it’s science people.

 

And then there are these – which would probably look great with something else I mentioned recently. 

 

As if you needed another reason to join the #CHQ team …

When considering your next job, you don’t have to choose between joining a big pond and being a big fish. You want to join a growing pond, because that’s where you’ll become the biggest fish. Great read here. 

 

Have a great weekend!

I also had the pleasure of participating in a Business of the Business panel at the American Association of Political Consultants Pollie Awards in Napa. It was a lot of fun and a great event.

Texting Top 5

It seems like everyone is talking about peer-to-peer texting these days.

Nicole Schlinger Text MessagingYes, it’s (relatively) new. Yes, it’s cool.

But at the end of the day … “new” and “cool” are not what wins a campaign. (If you aren’t sure about that … just ask Beto O’Rourke.)

Having the right conversation with the right people at the right time does!

Here at CampaignHQ, we’ve spent the last year learning how to create the same high quality, interactive conversation via text message that we’ve been having on the phones for the last 20 years. And now we want to share that knowledge to make YOU successful.

That’s the conTEXT difference.

While it’s common knowledge that peer-to-peer text messages can be used as an outbound communication tool – whether it’s for fundraising or GOTV – there are FIVE additional ways you can use conTEXT to effectively communicate your message.

Cycle of Success – More Great Clients

Here’s another installment of our Cycle of Success 

We love talking about our clients and sharing in their many successes. Here are a few more highlights.

.

I’ll never forget the calls we made for Gov. Dunleavy’s campaign on election day. Being in Alaska, these were the last GOTV calls we had to make that day. Our team was tired. Our voices were hoarse. Some folks had been on the phones for 12+ hours already! But the way our folks rallied was nothing short of inspirational! Thank you Brett Huber!

 

We’re so thankful for the support and kind words of the talented crew from the Bacon team.

 

Powerful cause, incredible team – we have the best clients.

Thanks for checking in!

Women’s History Year

I guess I missed posting anything about Women’s History Month. The government says we celebrate it March 1 – 31, but I say we celebrate it all year so I’m doing a post about it in April.

I know many hardworking women who do incredible work, while wearing heels and juggling a million other things like families, demanding schedules and challenging situations.

One of those women is Gov. Kim Reynolds. I read this article a few weeks back and it made me even more proud of our great governor. Not only is she a woman and a leader, but she’s a conservative.

There’s this article too, that discusses that not only has she shattered the glass ceiling herself, but she’s elevating women into top positions in her staff.

Who’s a woman you’ve looked up to?

Thanks for reading,

This is me with Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony List.

Things I’m Into These Days

Hello once again, friends. I thought I’d drop in to share a few things that have caught my eye lately.

Namely this beauty.

Just a friendly reminder that my birthday is Oct. 8. 

This is one of my Top 5 business books – Pitch Anything: An Innovative Method for Presenting, Persuading, and Winning the Deal by Oren Klaff. I like my business books with a strong dose of action and adventure, and this does not disappoint.  You can read my full book review too.

Before all the pundits have said it, I’ve been saying it. It looks like Beto-mania has reached new levels.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

 

What are you into lately? Any books I should check out?

Thanks for stopping by,

Nicole

National Puppy Day – Fun Friday

In my mind, every day is National Puppy Day. I mean, with a face like this, how could it not be?

Apparently, March 23rd was a time for Americans to celebrate puppies. We’re going to extend the holiday just  a bit and celebrate puppy’s on this Fun Friday. Here are some pictures to make you feel great today.

ALL THE CUTE PUPPIES

And of course, we celebrated the Chief Canine Officer on National Puppy Day. I guess we’re going to have to keep a closer eye on those purchase orders. We seem to have accumulated quite a few Greenies.

 

Have a great weekend,

Nicole

Pollie Time
