Is a business allowed to just call every number out of the phone book for marketing?
By
????? ????? questioned:
The company I work at (small business) came up with this brilliant thought for ME to call EVERYONE out of the phone book, starting with letter A and ending with letter Z. Is this legal? Or is this violating the Do-Not-Call-List? I can’t find a whole lot of information for businesses and what their limits are, and what the law entails. I’m thinking it’s not legal.
So basically I call everyone out of the phone book and question them if they are interested in doing a mortgage with us.
By the way, I was being sarcastic when I said the thought was “brilliant.” I reckon it’s utterly ridiculous.

yes that violates the do not call law. the company can be fined.
there is a Federal law & also State laws
You must **** your job. Whose bright thought was that?
I did sales for a minute. Yes, you will be in huge distress. Tell your company to either build a web page, twitter or face book page… It is free, fun..:-) They will get a lot of people online looking for help with their mortgage.
Yeah, thats not too smart of them.
I suggest they build a website and place lots of key words in it…
Low rates, quick closing, mortgage rate, blah blah blah… if they need help have them call a web developor or better yet look at thier competition and see what they are putting on their sites… see what works for you and Presto!
but have them lay off the phone book the only thing that is excellent for is when a midget needs to see over the steeringwheel…
