    Lead Conversion

    Our canvassers help people see the impact and benefits of our work around the world. It’s also the first step in building a lasting relationship with people in Canada who care about our cause. In the event that door-to-door conversations don’t convert, we utilize outbound direct acquisition through our call center when assessing our lead scores.

    Data Reporting

    Data reporting has been instrumental in the success of our nearly 10 year partnership with Plan International Canada. We’ve leveraged real-time canvassing insight to enhance our community appeal and donor acquisition. During this time, we’ve been optimizing our own data capabilities, piloting new B2B and D2D reporting features and views for Plan International Canada campaigns.

Today, Plan International Canada is able to make informed campaign decisions that make efficient use of time and budget, while Globalfaces makes a more impactful impression on their social mission.

Globalfaces has been a trusted and valued business partner since 2013. They consistently deliver on results, enthusiastically bring forward innovative new business solutions and have embraced testing numerous Plan International Canada’s new initiatives. Globalfaces is nimble and quick to respond as the market shifts. This was never more evident than in 2020 when the global pandemic struck. They quickly implemented new COVID-19 safety protocols which ensured the campaign was able to successfully continue during some very uncertain times.
