WHY TEXT?
● High read rates for text messages, often within minutes
● You may see a 12-25% reply rate (up to 1 of every 4 people you text will text you a reply!)
● 8-10% action rate (people who reply yes that you toggle to a Yes in the Hustle app!)
● Texts help us recruit volunteers and get out the vote

Text like a human!
Think about it. You signed up for the text
bank because you wanted to connect
with voters and supporters just like you,
and they want to hear from you. You
absolutely have something to
contribute! So text like you would text
anyone else and if you have question ask
your neighbor or a TOTV captain.

Keep the conversation going!
1) Of course, your initial text will be scripted.
2) But supporters will all have different
responses, so now you can do you!
Yup! Can I bring a friend?
Please do! All are welcome!
Hey Krishna! It’s Emma w/ Hustle. You wanna come to our meet and greet Saturday?

If they ask questions, answer with authenticity.
1) Think about why you signed up for this
particular issue or candidate. Draw from
that knowledge and experience.
2) And if you don’t know, ask someone!
I’m really concerned about healthcare reform and education.
Awesome! Can I sign up for updates?.
That’s why I joined this campaign. Our candidate championed Obamacare.
Absolutely! We’ll stay in the loop!
Hey Krishna! It’s Emma w/ Hustle. What issues are most important to you this election cycle?

BEST PRACTICES
● REPLY QUICKLY & ALWAYS REPLYYour goal is to build a relationship over time with the voters you are texting. Pause your texting to reply. Reply with warmth even if the answer is no, so that next time it may become a yes!
● BE YOURSELFRemember that you represent the DNC, but treat your Hustle texts like any other text. Use emojis! Have fun!
● SHORT & SWEETTexts under 200 characters (about the length of a tweet) get the most replies. End with a question, and share extra info later in the conversation.

● HUSTLE PASSWORD REQUIREMENTS8 characters, one uppercase, one digit
● IF THEY TEXT YOU A PHONE EMOJIThis means the person tried to call you! You can apologize for not being able to take their call and let them know they can text you any questions they have
● IF YOU SEE ANOTHER PERSON’S TEXTIf people aren’t responding quickly enough, their texts will get bumped to other people. This is normal!
