Monthly Donor Campaign Script

Reached a Live Person

(Ask for the person by name.)

Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a volunteer for the Green Party of Ontario.  May I have a few minutes of your time to chat?

If no, apologize for the inconvenience. Schedule another day for a follow up, if supporter is willing, and write it down. End the call.

As you likely know, the past 12 months have been a busy but exciting time for the GPO.  We elected a new leader, had a policy convention, ran five strong by-elections, and opened a central office just last month.  Despite all of this activity, not only are we debt free, but have successfully saved more money for the provincial election next year. We could not have done this without everyone pitching in, and I want to thank you for your support.

The purpose of my call this evening is because our records show that your membership lapsed on February 14th.  Renewing helps us to continue to build the party both provincially and in your local riding as well.  Can we count on your support and renew your membership this evening?

If no, thank them for their time.  Offer them a pleasant evening.  End the call.

If yes,

Thank you so much!  We really appreciate your support tonight.  In addition, we are looking to have people commit to a monthly donation.  Steady funding from monthly contributions help us cover our operational costs, so we can save even more money for next year’s election.  As well, with a monthly donation of $10, we will send you a brand new GPO mug in either green, blue, black or brown (your choice).  For $20 per month, we will send you two mugs, and for $30 per month we will send you the complete set of 4.

May I put you down for a monthly donation this evening?

If yes, use the secure GPO credit card form link. Enter the information from the transaction in the appropriate fields for a monthly donation.  Find out what colour of mug they want (if one or two mugs) and write it down.  Confirm their mailing address for shipping purposes.

If no, use the secure GPO credit card form link. Enter the information from the transaction in the appropriate fields for a one-time donation.

Thank you for your support tonight!  Have a pleasant evening.

End the call.
