Business Lines and DNC?

[Indiana_Adam]

Some business numbers listed are also personal(home & cell) lines registered to a business.

Does the DNC apply to these numbers if they are listed as a business?

I'm cold calling for commercial P&C using a business list I generated from a business database (Demographics Now) through the public library.

Just got off the phone with a slightly upset woman(marking her off the list) who stated she is on every No Call list there is. Though she did acknowledge her and her husband own the business. I apologized and told her I would take her off my list.

DNC is part of the TCPA. Telephone Consumer Protection Act. B2B calls are exempt. Sure, a business can add themselves to the DNC, but that doesn't mean anything other than they felt like being on it. Odds of you making a sale with them? Probably beyond low, but you're not violating any laws.

Thank you Josh! I thought that would be the answer, but wanted to make sure.

To add to that, it's best NOT to tell them it is legal. No use making them more upset----just simply (as you said) apologize and tell them you will add them to your internal DNC list.
