DNC Manager
(Do Not Call List Manager)

 

If someone asks you to not call them, it has always been good practice to comply. This is now a legislative requirement in the United States, with fines of up to $11,000 per incident for failing to comply.

Adhering to the requirements can be complex. The Federal Government will provide a list of phone numbers that have registered. Businesses are REQUIRED to validate their databases against this list at least every three months. In addition, companies have to maintain internal DNC lists of consumers that have asked them to call; many companies are now moving to a "permission marketing" model, where they ask consumers for permission before contacting.

There are exemptions to the national DNC register:
  •  if a consumer makes a marketing enquiry, they can be called for three months
  •  if there is an established business relationship, they can be called for 18 months from last transaction

There are a number of steps that companies must take to ensure that they have a "safe harbor" for honest mistakes. Principal amongst these is full audit trails, to display that all reasonable measures have been taken to ensure that the databases are accurate.

What can DNC Manager do for you?

DNC Manager provides a system for companies needing to manage their Do Not Call requirements using GoldMine. Currently DNC Manager is targeted at United States companies seeking to comply with the Federal Do Not Call legislation.
