Legacy vendors with their annual contracts; texting and typed keywords; expensive short codes or hard-to-remember 10-digit numbers; cumbersome web forms; and ineffective, data-free patch-through calls make mobilizing advocates difficult and loses important data. The Virtual Citizen changes the paradigm and makes advocacy easy and more accessible.
Congressional Staff are inundated with millions of emails and find it hard to distinguish legitimate from auto-generated emails. Legacy vendors touting more fake AI content adds to the clutter! It’s time to go “back to the future” and prioritize what works: People-to-people connections.
Phone calls are an effective medium to influence policymakers and they are hard to fake. But legacy tech such as patch-through calling makes calls hard to convert and acquire no data. The Virtual Citizen makes advocacy more impactful by driving frictionless calls with Speed-Dial technology with voice recognition and spoken keywords. Unlike patch-through calls, we connect directly to targets and can record and capture stories, acquire mobile data, and track call locations.
