How are you handling Call Suppression?
As well as the issues surrounding TPS, companies increasingly
have to deal with the problem of Do Not Call (DNC) suppression.
Legislation clearly states that if an individual asks you not to
contact them again by phone, then you must action this request
and prevent further marketing calls.
Current Legislation means heavy fines for companies that do
not have tight control of their internal Do Not Call records.
Coming under Ofcom’s nuisance call legislation fines can be
imposed directly from Ofcom and can be much higher than the
maximum £5,000 for TPS transgression.
Customer dispute, bad debt or credit risks are just some of the
factors effecting who you call, when you call and what you call
about. Marketing campaigns to customers with bad debt or
who are in dispute can be a fruitless and expensive exercise.

How does CallGard work?
CallGard is an automatic call screening solution which screens
outbound calls against your internal Do Not Call records and the
most recent TPS and CTPS files as the call is made.
Should an attempt be made to contact an individual who is on any of
the records a message will advise the caller that the number dialed
does not wish to receive marketing calls, and the call is barred.
CallGard is hosted in the telephone network and is available in
Analogue, ISDN and Voip connections There is no need for customer
premise equipment. It can be implemented within days and is
scalable from the smallest contact centre up to large multi site
operations.
