- Before we get started, I want to briefly discuss today's session:
- Before we get started, just a little background on Cole Information. In 1947, Jack Cole created Cole Directory, a directory of people by their address and phone number. Jack’s considered the father of direct mail. While companies had dabbled in this type of directory in the past, what made Cole Directory revolutionary was that he used IBM punch cards to streamline the process and thus created a searchable database. This type of crisscross directory was groundbreaking & invaluable to a number of industries including telemarketing, debt collection and law enforcement. Today, through a number of our products, including Cole X-Dates & Cole Lists, we have continued to provide small business owners this searchable database of addresses and phone numbers that allows them to target consumers and businesses in their own neighborhood. We also want to provide small businesses with the necessary tools and information they need to grow their business. We do that through Cole community.com and also these small business 101 webinars.
- We also have a an online community called Cole Community, where with articles, a blog & other content including past webinars we think is interesting & is beneficial to small business owners like yourself. We invite you to take a look around, check out the site & use it as a resource for your needs.

- Just to give you some background: In 2003 the Federal Trade Commission enacted the National Do Not Call Registry as part of the Telephone Consumer Protection ACT (TCPA) of 1991. This significant legislation protects consumers who have put their number on the National Do Not Call Registry by allowing FTC and state attorneys general law enforcement tools to combat telemarketing fraud, gives consumers added privacy protections and defenses against unscrupulous telemarketers, and helps consumers tell the difference between fraudulent and legitimate telemarketing. Telephone numbers—both land line & cell phone--placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008. As of September 30, 2011 there are more than 209 million phone numbers are on the National Do Not Call Registry.
- http://www.fcc.gov/guides/robocalls http://www.kleinmoynihan.com/publication/new-tcpa-rules-effective-october-16-2013/ Plus…there’s new cell phone consent rules that took effect October 16, 2013. The FCC rules are spelled out in the amended Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) telemarketers will need to scrub out wireless numbers before initiating outbound calls. Exceptions are very limited. The new FCC rules for calling cell phones are contained in the recently amended Telephone Consume Protection Act (TCPA).The amended TCPA makes it illegal to initiate a telemarketing call using an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS) or an artificial or prerecorded voice (robocall) to a cell phone without the prior express written consent of the person called. The FCC also explained what they mean by “prior express written consent.” Much of the so called “opt-in” data floating around in this industry will not meet the new rigorous cell consent standards.Under the new cell consent rules, the telemarketer wishing to call a cell phone will first need to obtain a signed written agreement expressly authorizing a specific entity to deliver autodialed calls or prerecorded messages for telemarketing purposes to a designated telephone number. The consent language must also inform the consumer that providing consent may not be a condition of any purchase. This type of consent is difficult or impossible for many telemarketers to obtain, thus creating the need for wireless scrubbing.Under the new wireless rules, a safe harbor exists for companies who regularly scrub against a wireless number list every fifteen days. Telemarketers must scrub against both a list of cell-phone prefixes (wireless block file) as well as a list of landlines recently ported to cell phones (NeuStar ported list). If the telemarketer accidentally calls a cell phone without consent, they may qualify for safe harbor so long as they had scrubbed against the wireless number list within the previous fifteen days.What about B2B? The new TCPA cell phone consent laws are not consumer-specific and therefore protect business cell phones along with consumer cell phones. For this reason, business-to-business telemarketers will need to engage in the same wireless scrubbing efforts in order to be TCPA compliant.Why comply? Violations of the TCPA are punishable by fines of up to $16,000 per individual call made in violation. The TCPA also allows the consumer to bring a private civil action for $500 per violation—or three times that amount if the violation was willful. Telemarketers should act quickly to engage a wireless scrubbing vendor and not fall off the October 16 wireless compliance cliff
- There are exemptions to the National Do Not Call Registry: Charitable organizations Telephone surveyors who refrain from "selling" goods or services Political organizations Companies that have an established customer relationship with call recipient
- For sellers/businesses who are involved in telemarketing, there are certain guidelines you need to follow to b in compliance with the DNC registry. These guidelines include: Regularly update their lists.

Disclose who they are when they call consumers Call consumers during the day Have caller id information Register for a SAN number to use the Federal Do Not Call Registry • Cole Information requires a customer’s SAN to enable access to the DNC registry and telemarketing information.
