Meet Katie

CampaignHQ employees are some of the hardest working and most dedicated in the business. They are passionate and committed to being part of the Best Conservative Call Center in America.

Our campaign representatives believe in our clients and the issues that mean so much to them, so they give their best every day. Whether they are doing fundraising, making GOTV calls, or are engaged in our newest endeavor conTEXT, you can be assured that their efforts will be professional and passionate.

Today I decided to introduce you to one of our employees, Katie…

Katie working hard on her calls for our clients

Katie hasn’t been with us long, but she has already risen to the top as one of our finest callers.

Katie loves a challenge and that is evidenced in her phone calls. She likes the atmosphere at the call center and enjoys educating herself about politics and our shared beliefs.

Katie was one of our first agents to deliver peer to peer text messaging (conTEXT) for our clients and knows the difference it can make.

In her spare time Katie enjoys reading, hiking, photography and spending time with her family.

The day Katie joined the CampaignHQ team, she gained a new family. We like to think that we’re more than just a conservative company, we’re a family and Katie enjoys being a part of that family. 

 

If you have a Voter ID, Advocacy, Patch-Through, or GOTV project that needs something more…give us a call at 888-722-4704.

 

We’ll treat you like a member of our family.

Election Survival Kits to the Rescue

When it comes to campaign work, there are some things that are inevitable: late nights, long days, stressful situations, and a quick sprint to Election Day. The Campaign Headquarters team has worked on countless campaigns and we’ve seen it all. We know the best way to survive the run up to Election Day is with plenty of snacks, caffeine, a bottle of Tylenol and some effective GOTV calls.

 

Election Survival Kits are all ready to go to our great clients!

 

That’s why, every year the CHQ team puts together Election Survival Kits for our clients. These kits are stuffed full of beef jerky, 5-Hour Energy, toothpaste, Tylenol and a blanket, for those nights when you just have to sleep under your desk.

 

At CHQ we practice giftology – The right gift says “I understand you. You matter to me.” A gift is a memorable moment. It’s a slow moment … one that’s not lost in the daily flood of emails, tweets, and posts. I write more about this idea (and the book behind it) here in my Medium post. 

 

Our clients are always on our minds and we’re doing everything we can to get them through the last push to Election Day

 

Whether it’s quality snacks or quality calls, let CHQ help get you through Election Day.

Time For A Laugh

Studies show a big, hearty laugh is good for your body, mind, and soul. And when you are in the right frame of mind, you can make amazing things happen.

With just days to go in this election cycle, are you overworked, stressed out, ready to explode?

Then take a few minutes and join me for a good laugh. I usually bust this video out at the end of each election cycle – it never gets old!

Hope you are refreshed and ready to go. If you need us for calls or our newest addition – conTEXT – our peer to peer text messaging process, give me a shout. We’re here to help 24/7.

Thanks,

Nicole

Communicate in a Way That Someone Can’t Ignore

Last fall, I wrote a guest blogger piece that was featured on CMDI’s website. I thought the information was still pertinent today. I hope you enjoy reading, please let me know if you have any questions.

When you are trying to influence a Member of Congress or Senator to take action…

Are all constituent contacts created equal? According to Capitol Hill staffers, the answer is a most resounding, “NO!” From the New York Times article, “Here’s why you should call, not email your legislators:”

Activists of all political stripes recommend calling legislators, not just emailing — and certainly not just venting on social media….A phone call from a constituent can, indeed, hold more weight than an email, and far outweighs a Facebook post or a tweet. 

You can generate these all-important telephone contacts with a smartly run patch through campaign.

Patch through calls empower YOU to identify like-minded people, educate them about your issue, and transfer them directly to their lawmaker’s office to make their voice heard.

To run an effective patch through campaign, keep the following three things in mind:

1. Target the Fence Sitters

When choosing which lawmakers you want to target, focus on those who are on the fence or whose support could waver in the face of a tough vote.  There’s no need to waste limited resources on someone who is solidly in your camp or firmly against you. However, it can be helpful to send a few positive patches into an office to give backup to someone taking a tough vote on your behalf.

2. Keep It Conversational

Keep your script simple and straight to the point. Remember, the constituents you are calling are not immersed in the unique language of your industry. They want to know what the issue is, how it affects them, and how they can make a difference. Avoid industry jargon. Read your script aloud.

3. Coordinate Your Efforts

Patch through calls are a powerful tool, but they are even better when coordinated with your ongoing advocacy efforts. If you have a meeting set with a particular lawmaker or his/her staff, imagine the impact you can have with 50 patch through calls the hour before you arrive! You can let that elected official know all they need to is sign on to your issue, and you can make the calls stop.

I’m often asked why patch through campaigns are so effective. The answer is simple. The one thing politicians fear most is losing re-election. Hearing from one constituent after another on a particular issue strikes at the very heart of this fear. Most elected officials are good people who want to do right by their constituents. When a loud and clear message is delivered, they will respond accordingly.

When you are ready to get your patch through telephone campaign running, please give us a call here at CampaignHQ. Our two-time Pollie Award winning team will make sure your message is heard.

Your Mind is Meant for Thinking

Getting Things Done author David Allen says, “your mind is meant for thinking, not for storing.” With that thought in mind, I would like to share a product recommendation that will free up your mind and get the clutter out of your head.

Some of the May Designs books used by Nicole Schlinger

 

Mica May is the founder of May Designs, and an all around awesome entrepreneurial spirit. A designer by trade, she made her own notebooks to take to meetings and her clients and colleagues took notice.

May Designs started out with customizable notebooks, and while they are expanding to become a lifestyle brand, I believe the notebooks are the real star of the show.

Nicole Schlinger’s recommended May Designs notebooks has been featured on the Today Show, Real Simple, Birchbox and GMA

 

Notebooks come in three sizes. You choose your pattern, you choose your personalization and then you choose your inside pages. You can change up your slogan based on what you are tracking, your mood, or the time of year.

Unlike a big bulky planner … you can get a new May Book once every few months. They run anywhere from $15 — $28, depending on the size, quantity, and level of personalization.

My favorite is the undated “Weekly Agenda + Graph.”

Happy planning!
