Best practices when making the VTPC ask while phonebanking
Share who you’d remind to vote to illustrate that you’re not collecting data and build trust
Record data after each call in the Notes below! Use format: #VT: name, name and name
Ask for (or confirm) cell phone number so the campaign can send the voter a reminder of their pledge
Emphasize urgency & impact. Ex: “This is powerful enough to swing the election! Democrats lost MI by 2 votes/precinct in 2016.”
Keep it conversational. And match the voter’s pace; this can make them feel heard
Use social pressure. Ex: “Everyone I talk to seems to know two or three people who can use a reminder about this election.”
