Lobbyist Education Center

There are a variety of questions you can ask your potential advocate. The following are some suggested questions. Remember, you’ll need to modify then to suit your needs and project(s).
Questions: there are three parts
SECTION 1 -  initial contact
The best way to find a lobbyist is to pick up the phone and call their office. When you do, talk to the person who answers the phone, and ask them a few questions. Explain to them that you’re looking for a lobbyist and want to find out some really basic information about their firm. You can ask a few quick questions, with the goal being to find out if the firm is a fit and what you can expect from the advocate. Your goal is to speak with someone other than a sales person (Note: All lobbyists and all managers at lobbying firms are sales people).
If they ask you any questions, simply respond by telling them about your company, but not a lot about why you need a lobbyist or your project. 
Please understand this: The goal here isn’t to be evasive, rather it’s to honestly find out what their strengths and weaknesses are without them trying to answer questions or act a certain way before they know what you want. 
SECTION 2 -  the basic phone conversation

YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING (NEWS) TO SHARE ... NOW WHAT?

Imagine that for the last couple of weeks, you’ve been keeping a secret that you know the world wants to hear or that you are going to release a new revolutionary product that everyone will want to read about, purchase and use. When you are ready to tell everyone, how do you go about letting the press know, so they can write, publish or produce a story on this “revolutionary news?”


Thanks to an ever growing media system that now includes newspaper, radio, TV and the internet’s billions and billions of websites and their uniquely and focused written blogs, we’re bombarded with a variety of different corporate, governmental, artistic, specialized & personal messages (news) daily.

Welcome to our short tutorial on "How To Hire A Lobbyist." Lobbying is a very interesting profession, one in which not only provides for a lot of excitement, but also responsibility- not just for the entity hiring the advocate, but because of that advocates impact on the industry, government and general population. As such, the following has been developed to help anyone hire an Advocate on their behalf. The information we will be providing you with includes: 1) Does My Firm Need A Lobbyist? (if so, how do we hire one) 2) What Does A Lobbyist Do?

This section of the Lobbyist Education Center is designed to help two specific sets of people:

• Those who are looking for jobs
• Those who are looking for advocates
