Does Your IMO Say Press 1/Robo Call Leads Are Legal?

[RJT]

Josh, Thanks for sending the link.

Steve, I didn't realize. I made the wrong assumption that if I am contracted with an insurer, I thought I was, in essence, representing them. Thanks for the clarification.

Here is the best way to think of you representing an insurance company.

To determine if you a representative of an insurance company, first determine if it would benefit you to be a representative or not to be a representative. Then you are the opposite.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what that means. I can answer, "Yes, I can benefit representing an insurance company." Is that the "acid test?" How does this 'answer the question' of whether or not I represent an insurer?

You misunderstand the question.

In this situation would it benefit RJT to be considered a representative of the company? Yes. Then he is not a representative of the company.

Would it hurt RJT to be considered a representative of the company in this situation? Yes. Then he is a representative of the company.

Your agent status will almost always be used against, never to help you. If it would be of benefit for you to be a representative of the company in a situation, everyone will ignore it and act as if you aren't.

I suggest you run that by your carrier.


Hello compliance dept I wish to robocall consumers and on speaking with them let them know I represent you thereby putting your company on the hook as well for these violations.

Yes RJT please be on the lookout for our letter terminating your appointment for cause.

Apples to raspberries. A lot of folks, like Thad, are selling leads they call Press 1s, but they're not "real" press 1s, they're compliant. They're doing a live introduction and then playing the recording vs a straight up voice blast initiated by a recording. Two very different critters.

do all Thads leads so that? I thought some of them were just monitored by a human who pressed"steves" automated responses.
