If you're cold calling potential prospects, you must scrub those numbers against the current DNC database or you may face heavy penalties. You can disregard the DNC database when calling legitimate leads or businesses as they are not subject to the DNC registry, even if their number is in the DNC database.

Using the phone effectively with a speed dialer is how I beat my competitors in my current field.

Pete Xavier has given you excellent advice. I myself never did cold call on the phone because even though it seems the DNC laws are NEVER enforced they would be the very first time I tried to cold call kennith Frazier .

If the rule is "DO NOT CALL" -- that is your answer. Do Not Call. It could result in expensive penalties. Not worth it.

My best advice is not to call anyone who you don't have a current relationship with or who has not given you permission to do so. There are other ways to contact people and to encourage them to call you.

That these are the people who don't want your call. Or you could use the  logic that these are the people no one is calling, no competition! So you actually might get the listing if you go for it.

There are RULES!!!!

You wouldn't know it by how my phone blows up.

What important? Do the Zdevil thing. Pay someone else to do the dastarly thing for you.Agents pay Zdevil to misrepresent on their behalf, it just a tiny step to put a 3rd party between the DNC phone and the one paying the off-shore operator.

Inman News just reported that Coldwell Banker is being sued because their agents called expired listings who were on the NO CALL list. Here's a excerpt:

Tustin, California, homeowner Jorge Valdes filed a class-action lawsuit against the companies in an April 3 complaint, alleging they violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) which prohibits making unsolicited autodialed calls to consumers without their consent, including calls to consumers registered on the national Do Not Call registry. Valdes put his cell number on the DNC list in 2010.

After Valdes’s former agent withdrew his listing from the multiple listing service without the home’s sale on May 15, 2018, Valdes received unsolicited, autodialed calls from three different Coldwell Banker and NRT agents to his DNC-listed cell number, according to the complaint. This was despite the listing not including any of Valdes’s phone numbers when it was in the MLS.
