New Phonebanker Says: This Works!
Campaigns need phonebankers more than any other kind of help this year (besides money). So I’ve committed to making 60 calls every Sunday from now until the election. Here’s my report.
Phonebanking for Introverts
If you’re an introvert, you know how scary the idea of calling a stranger can be. That’s why I decided to design a voter contact training for Introverts, by an Introvert. The point of the workshop is that it’s not important that we make a bunch of phone calls, rather, that we feel great making phone calls.
Phonebank. It’s worth it.
The bottom line: phonebanking is worth the energy, and we’ve got to do it. It’s not always the most fun, but as Obama said recently, “We shouldn’t expect (politics) to be entertaining all the time… Sometimes you are just in a church basement making phone calls and eating cold pizza.”
