Costs Avoided 

Our State of Government 2025 report revealed that 85 percent of government affairs professionals miss important information related to their issues every year. Missing a newly introduced bill could result in missed opportunities, costly lobbying responses, or unnecessary risks. PolicyNote empowers you to act when it’s more cost-effective and your chances of success are higher.  

Besides helping save money, PolicyNote helps avoid costs in these ways:

• Eliminate redundancies in information services, news and tracking services, consultants, etc. 
• Optimize the ways in which teams work by reducing email traffic and bringing together disparate channels into a single source of truth.
• Not needing to bring on additional headcount for the primary purpose of monitoring for policy items that would impact your organization's key issue areas.

By monitoring trends early, you gain insight into potential changes that could impact your industry or interests. Whether it’s changes in the health or educational department, tax reform, or environmental regulations, knowing what’s coming allows you to prepare strategies and deploy resources efficiently.

Time Saved 

It has been estimated that PolicyNote frees up 50 percent of end-users' time for further engagement and execution on the ground. This means more time to connect with key influencers, engage and mobilize your supporters, and get your organization’s message across to the people who matter most.
