Telephone town hall has become a remarkable technological advancement that has enabled political and organizational leaders to get more than 20,000 people on a conference call at the same time.  Previously, getting several hundred people on a call and maintaining quality was a challenge -- but the new telephone town hall technology has leapfrogged that and can accommodate tens of thousands.

The reason this is a breakthrough is because now political and organizations like non-profits can reach out to more people in less time.  Moreover, the system doesn't require any hardware or software and can be activated quickly and easily.  Let's say a topic is sweeping your constituency, or if you are business, a product issue as arisen that needs immediate attention.  Very simply, you the telephone town hall service enables you to upload your phone lists online and the system calls out to each number.  Tens of thousands of invitation calls can be processed within minutes.  People who answer the phone and hear your invitation can opt-in and join your teleconference.  You can see online the number of people who are logging into your teleconference.  You can start talking about the issues of the day and begin inviting your participants to press a number on their keypad to ask a live question.  Questions come into an operator who can talk to the questioners and screen calls, making sure you can stay on the topics you want to focus on.

Bottom line:  Rather than speak to 50 or 100 or 200 people at a regular town hall meeting, you can now allow people to participate from the comfort of their homes and talk to 10,000, 20,000 or even 30,000 or more people at time.  You cover more ground, make it more convenient for folks to join in and with the polling and survey features you get to know what people are thinking instantly.  Why pay a pollster thousands of dollars when you can spend the same amount and get the advantage of speaking to thousands at the same while receiving your polling results in a fraction of the time?

Telephone town hall service will become more and more popular as elected officials, non profit organizations and corporate leaders discover the many advantages that the service offers.  It will be a godsend to those who are interested in reaching out to those who are important to them.

Telephone Town Hall Service Provides Instant Surveys

The new telephone town hall service provides many options, but one of the most amazing features is the instant survey.  It's a lot more than just numbers!  Let's say you are speaking to 20,000 members or constituents and you are interested in knowing how they feel about a particular subject.  And let's say you ask them to participate by saying, "I want to know how you feel about apple pie.  Let's take a live survey now and those of you who like apple pie, press #1 on your phone keypad.  If you don't like apple pie, please press #2 on your keypad.  Please vote now."  All of a sudden thousands of people are voting on the question and you can begin seeing the live results as they are compiled in real time.

But here's the amazing part...  After the telephone town hall meeting, you can receive a detailed report.  Depending on the completeness of the phone list you used to place the calls, your report could include the names, phone numbers and addresses of those who voted one way or the other.  In other words, in this example, you can get a complete list of names and addresses of those who like apple pie.  This is an extremely valuable resource for following up and sending information you know these particular people would be interested in receiving.  You can send them all apple pie recipes!

You can imagine the value and usefulness of such data.  Now you can get both a general survey result on the important topics of the day, but on top of that, you can get data that tells you specifically which people voted and how.  This takes polling into "warp drive" by enabling you to target voters with laser precision.  Until now, you might have know how sections of a city, or even a neighborhood, felt about a certain topic.  But now you can narrow it down to households.

This important and critical advancement in polling technology will pave the way for elected officials and organizational and corporate leaders to keep a more exacting ear to the ground and better understand the attitudes and feelings of those they represent.  It's a huge and positive step forward in a representative democracy that prides itself on the knowing the "will of the people."

Telephone Town Hall Teleconference for State and County Officials

Until now, members of Congress seem to have had a monopoly on using the popular telephone town hall service.  But that is all changing now and the technology is finding a home with state and local officials as well, and even non-profit organizations interesting in reaching out to their members.  County supervisors, county executives, state legislators, and city mayors and other elected officials such as city county members, are finding that this service is the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to speak directly to their constituencies.

The concept is stunningly simple and brilliant -- a local official can start a town hall meeting from his or her office or home.  The system automatically dials tens of thousands of phone numbers, inviting people to opt-into the teleconference.  (If they aren't interested in joining, they can just hang up.)  Once an invited person opts-in, they are placed into the conference call and can listen to the official or leader from the comfort of their home.  No scheduling, no event planning, no trying to get people out of their homes to attend a physical town hall setting.  The beauty if that everyone can stay right where they are, and enjoy all the benefits of hearing directly from their elected officials or organizational leaders.  No one has to spend time, energy, gas, or even fight the weather to listen in and/or participate in the virtual town hall meeting by asking questions or taking surveys.

State and county officials have large districts and telephone town hall services can have a significant impact on improving name recognition, and more importantly, voter approval ratings.  Since the service allows you to conduct Question and Answer sessions (in a controlled environment) and conduct surveys at the same time, elected officials have a new way to conduct outreach and keep closer tabs on what their constituents are thinking.
