Telemarketing/Cold Calling

[jttripp]

I know spam is against the rules and a waste of time to boot, but is telemarketing/cold calling ok or no? Just wanting to check before I start doing so.
Thanks,
James

As long as you remain within the applicable laws, such as the "do not call list" and allowable calling times, telephoning is allowed.

Yes, I suppose you can do this - however, you would need to have access to the National Do Not Call List and also the legal rules for telemarketers from state to state. For instance, do you know that in some states, telemarketers can only telephone on certain days and between certain hours?

You'd need to do some serious research in this area. People get MAD at telemarketers - and they'll even take them to court over one phone call if they violate a law. So be careful!
