Who are you calling?

Who will you be calling today?
The National Do Not Call list and your small business.

The National Do Not Call List (DNCL) will launch Today September 30, 2008. Scott Kendall, The Technology Coach sent the following e-mail. I thought it was so helpful that I asked if I could share it with you.
The Do Not Call List is designed to reduce the number of unwanted telemarketing calls and faxes Canadian consumers receive. Key facts for Small Business Owners!Telemarketers are those who make calls or send faxes to sell or promote a product or service, or to request donations. Exempt telemarketers include registered charities, newspapers, political parties, as well as organizations that conduct market research, polls and surveys.
Are YOU a telemarketer?If you make calls or send faxes to sell or promote a product or service, or to request donations, then you are a telemarketer."But I only make warm calls, Follow up when clients / customers request it or I was calling because I was given your name as a referral!"According to the CRTC "Telemarketing" means the use of telecommunications facilities to make unsolicited telecommunications for the purpose of solicitation.But you might be exempt! Click here to read my Blog this week and find out if the rules apply to you and under what circumstances.
