It has become incredibly difficult for people as well as businesses to function smoothly during this pandemic. As man has gone from being a social animal to a ‘social distancing’ animal, a ‘work from home’ world has emerged. Traditional working systems are being replaced by high-tech, automated technology to encourage effortless communication among team members.
A survey conducted by UiPath (a leading Robotic Process Automation (RPA) company) in collaboration with The Economist Intelligence Unit, found that over 90 per cent of organisations already use technology to automate business processes.
It comes as no surprise when we say that automation is the future!
Automated cloud telephony solutions are ruling the markets. Their wide range of products and services have raised the standards of customer communication and experience worldwide. Different service sectors rely on these products to manage their workflow. Health sector, IT sector, commercial business, etc., are adopting cloud telephony products for better productivity.
While commerce and services continue to find digital platforms, the situation gets tricky with processes like governance and elections. These are essential to the existence of civil society, but at the same time, political rallies and full-fledged campaigns are impossible to execute during a pandemic.
Well, as it turns out, the solution—at least a part of it—lies in cloud telephony and automation here as well. Or, to be specific, in voice broadcasting.
Before you question, “How exactly voice broadcasting is the answer?”, let’s understand what the solution actually is.
What is Voice Broadcasting?
- Voice broadcasting or automated calls let you broadcast a message to large groups of people.
- You record a message. You pick a list of people to call. You select a time. You let the software do the rest.
Effortless and hassle-free, voice broadcasting is an economical tool to disseminate information. It saves you manpower and time. All you need is to add the required details in the portal: The number of people or groups, contact information, recorded message, time slots, etc. A list is prepared according to the data, the message is uploaded, and a campaign is scheduled for a specified time.
You can even schedule campaigns for a later date or time.
Pandemic Politics and the Power of Digital Media
Every political party has planned agendas to connect with the masses. Gaining the favour of the citizens is already a win, but communication with the target audience is the key to a successful campaign.
Like all other sectors, political parties are also looking for innovative ways to communicate with people during this pandemic. Digital communication is the buzzword, with most parties launching initiatives in the virtual realm. For instance, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is organising two-way virtual rallies for its audience.
BJP’s General Secretary, Bhupendar Yadav, said in an interview with Economic Times,
“Digital communication is not a one-way process. Leaders talk to people through digital platforms, but they also get to listen through it. We are already listening to people offering suggestions and criticism on our policies and functioning. It happens all the time on Twitter and Facebook. Time and again we invite feedback from people on our programmes and policies. Deeper penetration of digital communication will provide fresh impetus to two-way communication.”
A political leader has to be apt and persuasive with his words. Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal had taken a step towards a new form of communication, back in 2014. The party released an audio message on the radio for one of its campaigns that garnered a lot of attention.
Directing a campaign in the form of an audio message was a smart and cost-effective move. Feedback stated that people were bored with the same methods. An organised solution like voice broadcasting is what our society needs right now.
The most fundamental strategy is to find a way to connect with the masses effectively.
A good voice broadcasting strategy will not only help parties compete against popular political competitors, but also support their goals. This tool’s features can contribute to the overall productivity and result of the campaign.
