Any advice on how to avoid all of the first contact legal issues? (Cold leads)

Good morning…

I’m trying to figure out how to make first contact with cold leads without running into legal issues. Obviously, it would be ideal if people reached out to you first, but let’s be honest, that doesn’t happen much. I know you can’t just text or email without permission, but I think I’ve overthought this so much that now I’m not sure what’s allowed.
:nerd_face:
Are phone calls really the only safe way to reach out initially? Or is it just that you can’t send out mass emails or texts?

Hoping for your assistance…

2

Obtain people’s express consent before contacting them. This can be done using a website form, a physical sign-up, or verbally. :grinning:
Simple and Easy to Understand: Make sure the consent procedure is simple to comprehend.

3

Verify email addresses and phone numbers two times to make sure you’re not contacting the wrong individual.
:yawning_face:To keep your contact information up to date, spend money on data cleansing technologies.

4

Maintain your DNC list up to date, and don’t call any of the numbers in it.
:sweat: To cross-reference numbers with DNC lists, think about utilizing third-party services.

5

Respect requests to unsubscribe right away.
:grimacing: Give unambiguous directions on how to remove oneself from your correspondence.

6

Verify that live agents are placing every call.
:face_with_raised_eyebrow: Respect the TCPA’s rules for robocalls.
