Why choose PCT?

There are a lot of companies offering calling services. PCT stands out from the rest for several reasons –

Groundbreaking compliance calling system – are you scrubbing your lists for cell phones and then hand-dialing the cell phones? You know how frustrating and unproductive that is. With our compliance calling system, you can call all of your target voters quickly and efficiently – while still staying in compliance with the TCPA.

Easy to use, reliable, and fast – You have more important work to do; you don’t want to spend a lot of time learning to use a complicated system. You also don’t want to waste time on a slow or unreliable calling system.

Low cost – PCT’s pricing is very competitive. You don’t need to pay high prices or sign a long-term commitment to get top-quality dialing services.

Tailored to the needs of your work – PCT was created specifically to meet the needs of progressive political campaigns, labor organizations, and community organizations. We know that you don’t work M-F, 9-5, and neither do we! We also have years of experience in using technology to advance progressive work, and it is part of our mission to work closely with you throughout your campaign to make sure that you are able to use the tools effectively.

Integrated with the PDI Online Campaign Center – for campaigns using PDI, the integration between PDI and PCT is seamless. You set up your universe and survey in PDI, load them to the calling system, and then as your phoners are talking with the voters, the results of the calls are copied back to your PDI account automatically within minutes. It is that simple.

Anyone with a computer or tablet and an internet connection can phone with our system. It doesn’t matter if they’re in the next room, or miles away. Phoners will operate as a team – even as they work from home. With chat features built in to the system, staying in touch with your team is easy. And the real-time monitoring that you can do in the admin page will help you to make your team’s work as successful as possible.

YES!

WiFi – For one or two people phoning on the system from their home, wifi is fine.  You will want to be sure you’re not sitting in a “dead spot” and pay attention to how many household members are also using the internet for streaming video, gaming, etc., but wifi will work.

If you are setting up a phonebank at a central location with a number of computers in an office, we recommend that you pay a little extra attention to setting up your network, so that all of the computers have a fast, reliable connection to the calling system.

Tablets – as long as your phoners are comfortable with the size of the screen, and your wifi is good, tablets can be used on the system.

Chromebooks, Windows computers, Macs – YES!

PCT/CallEvo has a seamless integration with the online campaign management system of PDI. Once you’ve connected your dialer account to your PDI account, all you need to do is create a dialer campaign (in your PDI account, using the universes and surveys that you have already set up) and start phoning.

As you make calls, the PDI connection automatically collects the information from your calls and brings it directly into your PDI account. No need to import and export files – just set up and get calling!

With so many people having only mobile phones, and legal concerns about using predictive dialer systems to call mobile numbers, PCT now offers only compliance click-dial calling – a new, entirely separately calling platform that allows you to call mobile numbers in compliance with legal requirements, quickly and efficiently.

The compliance calling system ensures that all calls are manually initiated – you are not “power dialing” or “preview dialing” on an automated predictive dialer.  Our Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) compliant calling platform simplifies mobile number calling strategy and protects you against regulatory challenges and legal action. With our evolutionary Rapid Manual Initiation (RMI), we offer the fastest manual calling solution in the industry.
