“How likely is it that you would recommend [company name] to a friend or colleague?”

Let’s be honest here, we all need a helping hand.

A few weeks ago nearly 70,000 customers were without power in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas after storms swept through the area. While this wasn't the first time, and it certainly won't be the last time in that area, what was different was that Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell realized an issue. Campbell wanted those affected customers to be aware of the situation and to receive continuing information about the outages and estimated resolution.

The latest amendments to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), are nearing their one year anniversary. Yet, we still field questions from staffing companies about the legalities of using automated calling to contact their associates. We are happy to report that YES, you can contact employees and associates with group messages. Brad did a great job laying out the legalities of calling last year when TCPA went into effect, so we encourage you to read that article.  In particular, the paragraph titled “Telemarketing and Informational Calls – Different rules apply!” usually hits home for staffing firms.

Early last week, the news came that Best Buy chose to settle their TCPA class action for $4.55 million. When the case was initially filed, Best Buy attempted to defend their use of an automated calling system as purely informational, and thus exempt from TCPA. They argued that alerting their customers of their rewards balance did not constitute a sales call. However, the Ninth Circuit determined that the calls were "dual purpose" in that while Best Buy was informing reward members of expiring rewards, they were also stressing that those rewards to be used. The court found that using rewards was equivalent to the purchase of a good or service. Following this line of thinking, Best Buy's calls were also sales calls, which are enforceable under the TCPA.
