| What is the U.S. Business Do Not Call Registry? |
| The U.S. Business Do Not Call Registry is a database of Small Business that will not accept telephone sales offers and have trained their “gatekeepers” to file formal complaints on companies that may be using “unreasonable telemarketing practices.” |
| |
| What are “Unreasonable Telemarketing Practices?” |
| The FCC outlines “unreasonable telemarketing practices” as follows: |
- Autodialing systems that tie up business phone lines
|
- Pre-recorded messages that seize phone lines and fail to disconnect within 5 seconds
|
- Callers that fail to provide identifying information such as the name of the business or individual responsible for the call
|
- More than 3% “abandonment” of all telemarketing calls over a 30 day period
|
- Failing to connect to a live sales representative within 2 seconds after a call is answered
