Greenville political consultant Chip Felkel's Fourth of July challenge to our nation of immigrants: Embrace differences, find compromise, get out of your silo.

We pioneered this, a process/program to identify, vet, filter stakeholders in an objective approach that gives you actionable data on who they know (local, state and/or federal policy-makers), how well they know them, how they are willing to engage on your behalf and where those same stakeholders are involved or active in other organizations that might aid in your messaging, communications and coalition building activities.
We filter up – providing the opportunity to establish a high touch, high impact “SEAL TEAM” of key advocates who have access, are ready to execute, and do so effectively and successfully. It’s next level engagement, not click and send, or blasts with hopes of responses. And, with limited interaction opportunities, knowing who can get the Member on the phone (because they are related to them, or worked for them, or live next door to them back in District) can be incredibly powerful. Knowing what they are comfortable doing, before you ask, can save time and effort. Knowing how they can offer influence on key issues with other groups, is valuable as well. And, if useful, we can identify potential PAC donors, as part of our data capture. For more info see www.rapindex.com .

Are you risking your organization"s reputation and effectiveness by leaning too much on SLACKTIVISTS instead of authentic messengers? Are you risking your personal credibility, by choosing tools and deploying a strategy that does little more than create noise so you can claim "impressive reach metrics"? Are you worried that someone is going to realize it's not really working and you are to blame?

If you answered yes, even if just once, then consider the power, value and impact of your stakeholder's personal relationships. We find them, assess them and provide guidance and counsel on how to successfully engage and leverage these valuable assets. It works. It doesn't have to be hard. And you and your organization will be better for it. Message me now for using and .

As more decline PAC dollars, the personal RELATIONSHIPS your stakeholder's have with elected officials become even more valuable. Finding them, so you can succeed, is what we do.

And you had a team of experienced professionals to guide and help you leverage that info?

If so, then www.rapindex.com is what you are looking for. We have a new package that is results focused and requires only a small initial set up to get you better data, and better advocacy.
