Do Not Call List Management
The National Do Not Call Registry
The National Do Not Call Registry is managed
by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Nation's consumer
protection agency.
The Federal government created the national
registry to make it easier and more efficient for consumers to
stop getting telemarketing calls they don't want.
The FTC has created, 'The Telemarketing and
Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act' in direct relation to
telemarketers who have used deceptive telemarketing practices or
abused the use of Auto Dialer and Predictive Dialer capabilities
in their organization.
Now laws are created and made mandatory for
businesses to follow regarding the National Do Not Call List.
This has been a great opportunity for consumers to help prevent
unwanted telemarketing calls coming into their homes at
inopportune times, as well as prevent deceptive telemarketers
from scamming consumers.
These new laws regarding the 'National Do Not
Call List' have placed a burden on businesses and call centers
worldwide, to configure their automated systems to comply with
the do not call list registry. Many existing Auto Dialer and
Predictive Dialer systems are completely unable to 'comprehend'
what telephone numbers should or should not be dialed.
We at Simple Simon do not condone or promote
the use of Auto Dialers and/or Predictive Dialers. We are
however against deceptive
or abusive telemarketing practices.
The burden now rests on the businesses relying
on the telephone to make their sales, to pay extra charges to
both be able to download the 'do not call list' on a monthly
basis, as well as hire another business to 'scrub' their
existing prospect list or to instill expensive 'plug-ins' or
external software programs that will enable them to do it
automatically.
Many of these subscription services and
software programs can be very expensive and require a monthly
fee to be utilized by a business.
Aside from the 'National Do Not Call List',
there are other laws instilled which restrict the time of day
that a sales call can be made to consumers.
Accidental or intentional sidestepping or
breaking the laws that are in place by machine or human, can
lead to you or your company being fined up to $11,000.00 for
each call made that is listed in the 'National Do Not Call
Registry'. Therefore, utilizing obsolete and outdated Auto
Dialers and Predictive Dialers is a high risk and dangerous
practice for any business to follow.
