Did the caller ask specifically for a household member by name? (helps identify if they are using auto dialers, or calling lists) 3. Approximately time of the call, and duration of the call 4. Number of questions asked, listing each question, and generic response that was given. (helps identify direction of the push objectives) 5. Last question asked before call was terminated (helps identify the turning point in the conversation where either they felt their motives were accomplished, or the answer made them realize the call was futile) 6. Was a solicitation made to any specific candidate? 7. How did they identify themselves when first responding on the phone? 8. Did they solicit you for cash or donation? 9. Did they offer to follow-up with a mail solicitation? 10. Did they ask if you would be willing to participate in future polls? Ideal information would include:

They can in turn be used as evidence. It's always after people hang up when receiving one of these calls that they wish they had taped them. Prepare in advance!
