In the realm of telemarketing, effective campaign management is crucial for success. One of the key elements in ensuring the efficiency and success of telemarketing campaigns is to consider and leverage time zone-based restrictions. This approach not only enhances the targeting precision of campaigns but also respects the boundaries of potential customers, leading to improved customer satisfaction.
Robocalls are pre-recorded or auto-dialed calls to your mobile phone or landline, usually when you have not given the caller permission to contact you. They are sometimes made by telemarketers, usually unsolicited, who are callers calling you to sell a product or service. Besides telemarketers, such as debt collectors, robocalls may also come from other agencies.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) LAW
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) imposes restrictions on unwanted pre-recorded telemarketing calls to your personal phone house phone. The rules and regulations applying the TCPA that came into effect in 1992 were provided by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It also forbids all calls or text messages to your mobile phone that are auto-dialed or pre-recorded. The TCPA reports that the following should not be performed by marketing telemarketers :
- Deny giving their name, the name of the employee or company on whose behalf they are calling, and contact information for that employee or company
- Call prior to 8 a.m. After or after 9 p.m.
- If you have chosen to opt-out of calls from that individual caller, or if your name has been added to the DNC (Do Not Call) List
-
Send unwanted fax messages to your home or work
- Ensuring a name and number is displayed on the Caller ID
DO NOT CALL LISTS
