Are You On The Do Not Call List?

Rich at MarketingBlurb quotes a Harris Interactive Report that states that 3 out of 4 Americans are on the FTC Do Not Call list.

This regulation had a devastating effect on the Outbound Telemarketing industry, but there are still firms out there doing a lot of outbound cold calling.  Why is that?

The Do Not Call regulations do not prohibit a company from calling its customers or even prospective customers that have inquired about services or products.  I know a number of call centers that are still focused entirely on outbound calling.  The change now is that they are calling, for the most part, existing customers and trying to upsell them on additional products or features.

This may include a mortgage company calling existing customers to get them to refinance or do a debt consolidation loan.

It may include a phone company calling its customers to get them to sign up for DSL or other services.

It may include a direct response company calling to get the customer to buy that next video.

The Do Not Call regulations certainly hurt the telemarketing industry, but it did not kill it.

Thanks, John

We want to be put on the Do Not Call List, however, we want a free charge company that will do this. We do not want to have to pay for this service.

All you need to do is to go to

https://www.donotcall.gov/

and you will be put on the Federal Do Not Call list.

There is no cost.

I am getting daily calls from firms doing "research" or "surveys". Just a moment ago I was harrassed again by Harris Interactive. It's like I can't shut my eyes for a moment without one of these companies ringing me up, but it's allowed because they are not "marketing" anything, they're only working for commercial interests. The Do Not Call registry will not be a success until it bans ALL cold calling of any type. I have a phone in my home for my convenience, not so that I can be disturbed by people I don't know.

I am tired of receiving anoying sales calls on my home phone. Please get rid of this problem.

put me on the do not call list.

put me on the do not call list.i do not want to pay for this,

put me on the call list673- *********

I recieve anywhere from 50-100 calls daily. Please put me on the list for do not call. It is to the point of getting rid of my phone service.

I understand the regulation and filed to be on the "do not call" list about a month after it started. I believe that the number of calls I receive has dropped dramatically, but what are my options when a company ignores the regulation repeatedly? Who do I contact (and how) to report them? Thank you.

You can follow the steps listed here:
