Industry Leader Call
Compliance, Inc. Poised to Block Tens-of-Millions of Unwanted Telemarketing
Calls In Compliance with Federal Do-Not-Call Rules
Glen
Cove, NY (Tuesday, July 8, 2003) - Telemarketing professionals and
contact center managers need not panic in the face of the recently
announced "Do Not Call" national registry. With fines of up to $11,000
per call, telemarketing organizations and teleservices companies
have cause to be concerned -- however, help is readily available.
Early on, Call Compliance, Inc., of Glen Cove, New York, identified
the Do Not Call trend, as well as the need for strict compliance,
and developed its patented TeleBlock® service. TeleBlock®
makes it easy for telemarketing firms to avoid making calls to consumers
on both the new national Do Not Call list, as well as the existing
25+ state Do Not Call programs.
Today, Call Compliance offers TeleBlock®, a proprietary and
transparent service, to numerous businesses that utilize the telephone
to sell goods or services in the United States through its growing
strategic relations program with VeriSign and participating telephone
carriers. Some of these carriers are Covista Communications, eMeritus
Communications, IDS Telecom, MCI, PaeTec Communications, Qwest Communications,
XO Communications and hundreds of industry resellers. Being an industry
pioneer, CCI has gained attention and acknowledgement from other
industry leaders, and has received multiple awards and citations,
as well as mention in print and media.
Unlike various consumer products on the market that attempt to screen
incoming calls from telemarketers, TeleBlock® screens and blocks
outbound calls as they are being made by the telemarketer, automatically,
before they are completed to consumers who place their phone numbers
on do-not-call lists. This unique technology resides on a telephone
carrier's nationwide network; therefore telemarketers can comply
by simply signing up for the service with a participating carrier.
Telemarketing firms can benefit by reducing their risk from non-compliance
fines, while improving their consumer-friendly brand.
TeleBlock® takes Do Not Call compliance to a level that standard
"scrubbing" techniques can not approach, assuring compliance that
is 100% as effective as the underlying data in the Do Not Call lists
themselves. Joseph Sanscrainte, Director of Regulatory Affairs of
Call Compliance and the Editor of the noted telemarketing Regulatory
Guide(www.cci.regulatoryguide.com),stated that the "Teleblock®
service removes the guesswork from compliance with all Do Not Call
laws, potentially saving the industry billions of dollars in fines,
and allowing telemarketers to focus on making sales, as opposed
to managing databases."
Clearly, Call Compliance offers a much-needed solution in these
changing and demanding times.
