Town Hall Teleconferencing is transforming political and corporate communication
Whether you are an elected official, candidate, corporate executive or organizational leader, you now have the opportunity to personally engage your audience in a live virtual meeting over the phone. Your presentation can focus on specific issues or you can have a free wheeling meeting that can cover any topic your audience wants to bring up. You can interact with your audience and enable them to participate and ask questions or share their ideas and opinions from the comfort of their home. Who cares about the traffic or weather when you can invite your constituents to participate in your town hall meeting by just answering their phones. With this breakthrough technology, they can hear your voice and message personally, without clutter or filtered press coverage. Outside of knocking on doors and having a personal 30 minute conversation with each constituent, Town Hall Teleconferencing is the fastest, easiest and most effective way to communicate.
How Town Hall TeleConference Works
Your Town Hall TeleConference starts when the system begins dialing the phones numbers on your call list. Each recipient hears a brief recorded message that invites them to your teleconference. Should they choose to participate, they only need to stay on the line to be put into the conference. For calls that go to voicemail, rather than a live answer, your recorded message will be left indicating the nature of the call. You have the option during the teleconference to invite questions. Your participants can press "0" to indicate they would like to ask a question, and they will be put into a question queue. You will be able to see the name and location of every individual in the Q&A queue, and will control who and when they will talk live and be heard by everyone on the call. Should you need advanced information about the question topic, a member of your team can momentarily pull the caller out of the conference to get additional information, and then return them to the teleconference.

VOTER POLLING & SURVEYING
People need and want to know their opinion counts. The beauty of the Town Hall TeleConference, in addition to Q & A, is being able to conduct real time surveys. Ask folks, "Are you in favor of lower taxes?" and have them press #1 on their phone keypads for yes, and #2 for no. Within seconds, you can see the results and know exactly how your audience feels about any particular issue or subject. Better yet, everyone on the call will know you're getting the message. First, they'll appreciate the fact that you're interested, and second, that you are giving them a chance to be heard. Can you think of a better way to let people know you want to hear from them?
