Robopoll Project Accounting

Did you get my $10? Did I do it correctly? Keep up the good work!

I've updated the accounting to include all purchases so far today as well as Slutter McGee's $50 pledge. We have $485.12 with about an hour to get to $600 before 5pm Pacific.

Any particular reason for that deadline? What's wrong with Wednesday evening calling? You mentioned getting a lot of return calls with responses already that are going to be unanswered for now. Wouldn't it make more sense to figure out how to capture those responses before calling thousands more people?

I can't add calling credit after Dynamic Interactive closes at 5pm. There's nothing wrong with Wednesday evening polling, but there are only so many days between now and the straw poll--I want to cram as much robopolling in before then as possible.

The return text messages and voicemails are mostly "Do not call". (The voicemail says to reply with a text message stating either your preferred presidential candidate or "do not call".)

I wonder if the message could be better presented to get a higher response rate. Sure, some people just don't want to be bothered (perhaps at that particular time?). But any idea how many people stop in the middle?

Various ideas:
- state upfront how long the call will be
- let people pick a better time to respond or maybe something like "if you prefer to text your answers, call back to get instructions" (or if possible, text the number for instructions?)

Unless your initials are L. M. B., whose payment I believe I received before this post, I haven't received your payment.

I went ahead and made a $600 purchase at Interactive Dynamics anyway using my credit card and withdrew everything that was in my PayPal and Amazon accounts, which was a total of $585.12. I don't actually have a negative PayPal balance. The $-14.88 indicates that the project's share of my PayPal balance will be $50 - $14.88 once I do receive your payment.

Yeah. I already posted in another post, that I am having issues with Pay Pal. It wont accept my debit card and I refuse to use credit cards. Once I figure this crap out you will get your donation.
