Training Tag(s): Master Class
Starts: Friday, Jul. 17 4:45 PM (Eastern)
Ends: Friday, Jul. 17 6:00 PM (Eastern)
The Master Class program is focused on the specific tools that organizers use every day, and helping intermediate users become efficient, effective power users. Feel free to bring tool-specific questions to the session.
Progressive field programs require plenty of elbow grease and passion. Efficiency and precision are the next steps. Using mobile technology, campaigns are saving time and energy, while gaining deeper insights to help inform their campaign strategy. Learn Organizer’s best practices for managing real-time mobile field to optimize your canvassing and calling programs.
This master class will go beyond launching canvassers and seeing the results flow instantly back. We will show you how to:
- Create smarter surveys – Let surveys do the work for your canvassers by looking up individual-level information like issue preferences and polling location
- Better analyze field metrics – Don’t just rely on intuition, find out which of our Result graphs and charts can prove whether you’re running the best program possible
- List targeting now – Organize your campaign’s outreach to know where you’ve been and how far you’ve come to reach your progress to goal
- …and we’ll be giving a live training on Organizer’s new Power Dialer – Call and canvass from one app, and view real-time results from a unified field program.
Our battle-tested, former field hands David Kornahrens, Emma Gibbens, and Ian Magruder will lead this class.
