Dial builds your donor call sheets in thirty seconds — FEC history, personal hooks, the right ask, a script your candidate will actually use. So your team spends time on the phone, not in a Google Doc.
It’s spent on the prep. A finance director or junior staffer opens a Google Doc, pulls FEC records one donor at a time, scrolls LinkedIn, rereads last month’s call notes, guesses at the ask amount, and pastes it all into a briefing. Two hours of prep for forty-five minutes of calls. For every session. Every week. For eighteen months.
We know because we’ve been doing it. And the worst part is the candidate still walks into the call without the one detail that would have earned the donation.
CSV, ActBlue export, or a sync from your CRM. Works with what you already have. No data migration, no consultants, no training.
FEC giving history, employer context, recent news, LinkedIn, prior-call notes, shared connections, suggested ask based on capacity. All pulled, all synthesized, all on one page.
After the call, the candidate taps one button and speaks the outcome. Dial logs it, updates the CRM, drafts the thank-you, and preps the next follow-up.
The average campaign runs two to three call time sessions a week, fifteen donors per session, for eighteen months. That manual prep time compounds into the difference between a finance director who sleeps and one who burns out by June.
A $3,300 max-out ask reads different from a $50 win-back. Dial writes both. Here are two sheets from a real congressional campaign — a major-donor ask on the left, a lapsed mid-dollar win-back on the right.
A typical fifteen-donor call sheet packet takes a staffer two hours to build by hand. Dial builds the same packet in under a minute. Over a nine-month campaign, that’s two hundred hours back.
Campaigns piloting AI-prep tools are reporting higher connect rates and larger average asks. When the candidate sounds like they actually know the donor, donors actually pick up and give.
No migration off NGP or NationBuilder. No new CRM. No training session. You upload a list, we send back call sheets. Your finance director learns Dial in four minutes.
Monthly, cycle-based, or done-for-you. Whatever fits your campaign’s cash flow.
Dial was built by Manan Pandya and Daniel Paulus. Manan is currently running creative and strategy for a congressional race in Pennsylvania’s first district, and has shipped creative for Hilton, Waldorf Astoria, and a Telly-winning WebMD video program. Daniel brings the engineering — he’s the technical half of Dial and makes sure the product actually works.
We started Dial because we were the ones building the call sheets. Every Sunday night, for every session, for every candidate. We tried doing it with ChatGPT. It almost worked. So we built the thing we wished existed, hooked it up to FEC and the public web, and started using it ourselves. Then other campaigns asked if they could use it too.
That’s where we are. If this solves a problem you have, we want to hear from you.
Not because she’s bad at call time. Because she’s walking in cold. Give us fifteen minutes and we’ll show you what actually prepped looks like — on your own donor list, live, in the demo.
