What is a DNC Registered Phone?
A DNC-registered phone number has been added to the National Do Not Call Registry to indicate the owner's preference not to receive unsolicited telemarketing calls.
Why Salespeople Need to Check Numbers against the DNC List?
DNC scrubbing ensures you remain compliant with TCPA, TSR, and state-specific DNC requirements.
Scrubbing phone numbers against the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry is crucial for salespeople due to several key reasons:
Legal Compliance: The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) mandates / requires that telemarketers refrain from contacting numbers listed on the National DNC Registry. To comply, businesses must update their calling lists by scrubbing against the DNC registry at least every 31 days. Non-compliance can result in substantial fines, with penalties reaching up to $43,792 per violation.
Avoiding Financial Penalties: Calling or texting numbers on the DNC list without proper TCPA consent can lead to significant financial repercussions. For instance, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) may impose fines of up to $50,000 per illegal call.
Maintaining Brand Reputation: Respecting consumers' preferences by avoiding unsolicited calls to those on the DNC list helps preserve a company's reputation. Infringing on these preferences can damage trust and deter potential customers.
Enhancing Call Efficiency: By removing numbers registered on the DNC list from calling databases, sales teams can focus their efforts on prospects more likely to be receptive, thereby improving overall efficiency and effectiveness.
In summary, scrubbing phone numbers against the National DNC Registry is essential for salespeople to ensure legal compliance, avoid hefty fines, uphold their company's reputation, and optimize their outreach efforts.
