CAPTEL has developed a special expertise in PAC fundraising for national business and specialty physician associations. CAPTEL has added new sources of revenue to its clients’ political action committee treasuries – keeping them competitive and growing in an era of sweeping legislation such as Health Care and Financial Services Reform.

Among the company’s long list of achievements is the development of a telephone renewal and prospecting program to compliment a national business association’s successful direct mail program. Over a period of six election cycles (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010), CAPTEL increased total PAC receipts by 400% and added 60,000 new, first-time contributors to the PAC. In addition, the company developed a telephone solicitation program for $1,000 and $5,000 PAC donors – adding over 1,000 new donors in these major contributor categories.

For a specialty physician’s association, CAPTEL increased PAC giving levels by 300% in three years – catapulting the PAC in 2006 to the top ranking position among all specialty physician PACs. During the 2010 election cycle, this particular PAC emerged as the largest physician PAC in Washington -- eclipsing the AMA by a significant margin.

In order to achieve this level of success with physicians – a group of professionals known for their busy schedules -- CAPTEL developed custom communications channels for physicians to respond to PAC solicitations and interact with CAPTEL client representatives.
