Client Instant Access connects candidates to voters quickly and efficiently
The most important part of an election, whether it is a presidential race or a local town council selection, is reaching out to citizens and potential voters. Every vote counts, and, as every anxious campaign manager knows, turnout can make or break an election. But voters stay home or don’t register to vote for a variety of reasons: apathy, lack of passion or simply because they forget to go to the polls.
That’s why campaigns have to come to rely on Client Instant Access to offer candidates and voter registration drives easy, efficient and effective products to rally citizens to register and get out the vote.
Blast Voicemail from Client Instant Access can send a pre-recorded message to remind potential and unregistered voters that Election Day is looming. This simple but powerful reminder has the potential to dramatically increase voter turnout and bring targeted voters to the polls. Blast Voicemail can also help candidates get their policies directly into the voicemails of their potential voters. A candidate can easily record a short message that summarizes their main policy positions and send that out as a message to thousands of potential voters.
If candidates need to speak directly and personally to voters, our CRM Dialer is the answer. Candidates can now craft a more personal message to their voters and reach them in a manner that connects them in ways that a TV ad or a billboard simply can’t match. With , a candidate can make quick calls to prospective voters, and if they do not pick up, the candidate can drop a message into the voter’s voicemail, or record a personal message that reflects the unique personality of the candidate.
Blast Voicemail and our CRM Dialer are effective solutions to give candidates a new edge and motivate voters to get to the polls.

During the recent hurricane season, many organizations called on Client Instant Access to assist with navigating the logistical nightmare of communicating to workers, customers, and residents to ensure safety and rapid response.
Resort clients benefited greatly from BVM during the recent natural disasters. Using BVM, resorts were able to notify guests, workers, and local residents of the impending hurricane, as well as any emergency procedures that needed to be followed. Resorts also were able to notify these groups of nearby shelters, help centers, and resources if they were displaced or in need of assistance.
For a concentration of resorts in the Caribbean, a hotbed for hurricane activity, Blast Voicemail is extremely useful to enact in a safety action plan. For example, if a hotel has 3,000 guests that they need to inform of an evacuation, one person can easily record a personalized voicemail that will reach every guest. This decreases the chance for a mistake, which can be deadly in times of dire crisis.
Construction and Utility Companies see massive increases in repairs needed during hurricanes. There are multiple divisions and employees to notify in order to deploy repair teams to work on restoring various utility services. BVM streamlines this entire process so that these utility companies can communicate with clients and workers to ensure a smooth, safe, and swift recovery period.
When natural disasters occur, residents can often lose power for days and even weeks, and it is important to make sure that residents have services restored as soon as possible. Electrical companies use BVM to inform customers of an estimated timetable for the power to come back. Keeping people up to date is extremely important when resources have been impaired, and CIA gives companies the power to inform.
Another industry that can benefit from BVM during a natural disaster is education. If power is out, then accessing the Internet or email may be difficult for students. BVM bypasses this problem and will leave a message in a voicemail box. This maximizes the chance that a student or parent will hear a timely alert, and not venture to school that day.
Ultimately, one can only prepare so much for a natural disaster. Blast Voicemail ultimately seeks to minimize the damage and to ensure the safety of as many as possible during a catastrophic storm.

Blast Voicemail is a key tool for the political sector and combined with Telephone Keypad Responses, it has become easier than ever for political campaigns to reach out to thousands of people. It is ideal for political campaigns to be able to easily reach out to thousands of people for greater insight into the mind of the public.
Our platform allows a political campaign to send a blast voicemail in the form of a survey, where the recipient will choose between two or more options (for example, Do you support legislation for x. Press one for yes, Press two for no). This is an easy way to connect campaigns with voters and get their opinions on the issues that need to be addressed.
Blast Voicemail with Telephone Keypad Responses also offers political campaigns the ability to have operator assistance. A live operator would be available as a Hot Key option to answer specific questions that the ***pollee*** might have and provide additional information about the campaign, or current issues bouncing around on the national and local level.
Reminders about upcoming rallies are also a great use for Telephone Keypad Responses, as a Blast message to thousands of supporters with reminders can be sent out to supporters in minutes and include options for custom responses. Our easy to use blast voicemail system will also provide success rates for answers, giving political campaigns exact accuracy on the magnitude of the interaction.
Our Blast Voicemail system is a dynamic tool for many industries, so the effectiveness of contact lists goes hand in hand with Telephone Keypad Responses. Campaign organizers have the ability to assign voters to different lists based on issues where they have expressed concerns from prior surveys. This allows campaigns to organize and differentiate their supporters, and keep them engaged on important issues that are relevant to the campaign and message.
Don’t wait to include this valuable tool in your political campaign. Talk to one of our Live chat operators, or contact us at sales@callcia.com or 1-888-226-9075.

With hurricane season ramping up and two Category 4-5 storms making landfall on the United States, many people in affected areas are dependent on supplies and instructions from emergency service organizations. However, with millions of people often displaced or affected, this can be a challenge to first responders.
In these times of crisis, many have turned to Blast Voice Mail (BVM). BVM gives companies the power to communicate with thousands of affected clients instantly. In chaotic and stressful events as these, time is a valuable asset and BVM helps organize a safety action plan. Since natural disasters are spontaneous and difficult to predict, emergency service organizations and construction companies must account for lots of moving parts. With Blast Voice Mail, users can be sure to get their safety message across quickly and clearly, facilitating the complicated process.
Before and during disaster events, a serious problem is the tendency to underestimate the severity of an impending storm. Using Blast Voice Mail versus email or SMS adds another layer of urgency and allows the caller to vocally convey the gravity of the situation to his/her recipients. There is a higher probability that a voice message will succeed in its goal, and thus a better chance for people’s safety.

Solutions For The Education Industry
Communication within the education sector is unique in many ways. Outreach is needed for students, parents, faculty, and staff, with multiple messages and multiple audiences. Client Instant Access (CIA) offers a suite of services that provide telecommunication solutions to educators from elementary school to college.
School closures due to weather conditions are a constant challenge for school administrators. Leaders need to communicate with every single student and parent in a school district that classes are canceled. Blast Voicemail from the CIA provides a solution. Using a contact list consisting of every student’s home number, a principal or superintendent can easily record a voice message to deliver news to large numbers of people. Blast Voicemail’s success rate makes it the best solution.
Similarly, in universities, professors often need to cancel a class for various reasons. In introductory courses with hundreds of students, this can prove to be a challenge. Again, Blast Voicemail can solve this problem, with an instant notification to students that class is canceled. Blast Voicemail is far more useful than simply sending out an email to students because rather than relying on people to check their emails, people receive an actual phone call. This increases the success rate.
Blast Voicemail can also be used to reach out to prospective students at universities. When high school students visit college, they schedule a tour and provide the admissions office their number. College visits are often done in large groups, and students and parents must be reminded of times, locations, and other information. A great way to address this issue is to use Blast Voicemail an hour or so before the tour. This tactic increases retention and encourages students to get to their tours on time.
Finally, the education industry can adopt a conference calling to conduct college interviews. Often, students apply to colleges from out of state, and admission offices must make arrangements to screen potential applicants. With conference calling, an admissions office worker, the applicant, and the interviewer (who can be employed at the university) can all easily converse and conduct an interview remotely.
