As per the "National Do Not Call Registry", launched by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), telemarketers are now prohibited to dial numbers that are listed on its database. So how does this effect the telemarketing services outsourcing industry? Does it put a question mark on the prospects of telemarketing services outsourcing providers?  
Well not necessarily because even though the awareness about the "Do Not Call Registry" is quite high, not everyone has signed up for the service that has been indicated to make life easier for consumers. Here are some valid reasons that explain why the future of telemarketing services outsourcing will not get hampered by the the "National Do Not Call Registry."
 
Businesses can call existing customers 
The "National Do Not Call Registry" does not prohibit businesses to call existing customers unless  a customer personally makes a request for the same. The freedom to call existing customers is available for 18 months from the time a service relationship is created between the customer and the business. This is a win-win for both telemarketing services outsourcing providers and customers. Telemarketing services outsourcing providers benefit because it allows them to target existing markets having huge potential. Benefits to customers come in the form of special discounts, add-on packages, offers for new products & services etc .
 
Customers have started to realize the disadvantages 
The overall response to the "Do Not Call Registry" may have been overwhelming, but what is also true is that customers have started to realize its inherent disadvantages. Some of the best deals on products and services are made available to consumers through telemarketing services and the realization is fast dawning on consumers that they might be missing out on some really irresistible offers and promotions.  Some "Do Not Call" users have actually changed phone numbers in order to become eligible for receiving attractive offers from telemarketing services outsourcing providers.   
The demand for telemarketing services outsourcing has not been severely dented by the "Do Not Call Registry", which also partly explains why the future of telemarketing services outsourcing is quite secure. Telemarketing services outsourcing thus continues to be a cost-effective marketing strategy for businesses worldwide.
