TCPA Compliance Consulting
TCPA Compliance Consulting
Outbound calling regulations are detailed, constantly evolving, and expensive to get wrong. The TCPA, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, state-level mini-TCPA laws, 10DLC registration requirements, DNC obligations — each one carries its own rules, and they interact in ways that aren’t always obvious. We provide the operational compliance infrastructure to keep your campaigns on the right side of all of them: campaign audits, script review, consent documentation, DNC scrubbing, call recording compliance, agent training, and ongoing monitoring.
This is operational compliance consulting — not legal advice. We help you build and maintain the processes, systems, and documentation that keep campaigns compliant day to day. For legal counsel, we recommend working with a qualified TCPA attorney alongside our operational support.
Compliance isn't a checklist you complete once. It's an ongoing operational discipline.
Most companies underestimate the operational weight of telemarketing compliance. The rules themselves are learnable — the challenge is building and maintaining the systems that enforce them across every campaign, every agent, every dial. DNC lists need scrubbing before every campaign launch. Consent records need to meet specific documentation standards. Scripts need to include required disclosures that vary by state and industry. Call recording rules change depending on where you’re calling from and where you’re calling to.
That’s before you account for regulatory changes. The FCC issues new rulings, states pass mini-TCPA laws, carrier-level 10DLC requirements evolve — and each change ripples through your campaign operations. We handle this ongoing compliance burden so your team can focus on running the campaigns themselves.
The compliance risks that bring companies to us
Select a challenge to see how we address it.
Problem
You’re running outbound campaigns and you know the TCPA applies, but you’re not confident your scripts, processes, and documentation would hold up under scrutiny. Maybe you’ve grown fast and compliance didn’t scale with you. Maybe you inherited a program that was set up by someone else. Either way, the gap between “probably fine” and “provably compliant” is where violations happen — and at $500–$1,500 per violation, the exposure adds up fast.
Solution
We start every engagement with a full campaign compliance audit: scripts, call flows, consent collection processes, DNC procedures, call recording practices, and agent training documentation. We identify gaps, prioritize them by risk, and build the remediation plan. Most audits take 5–10 business days depending on the number of active campaigns.
Greg Bloom
Problem
DNC compliance requires more than downloading the federal registry once. You need to scrub against the national DNC list, state-specific DNC lists, your own internal DNC list, and any entity-specific suppression files — before every campaign. The timing, frequency, and documentation of scrubbing are all specified by regulation, and the penalties for calling someone on a DNC list are among the most commonly enforced TCPA violations.
Solution
We set up and manage your DNC scrubbing infrastructure: federal and state list integration, internal DNC management, scrubbing schedules tied to campaign launches, and full audit trails documenting every scrub. If you’re already scrubbing, we audit your current process for gaps — timing issues, missing state lists, and suppression file management are the most common ones we find.
Don Legg
Problem
Prior express written consent (PEWC) is the regulatory foundation for most outbound calling and texting. If you can’t produce timestamped, documented proof of consent for every contact on your list, you’re exposed — regardless of whether the person actually agreed. Consent records get lost, forms don’t meet technical requirements, and the chain of custody from collection to campaign execution breaks down more often than most companies realize.
Solution
We design and implement consent collection and documentation systems that meet TCPA requirements: proper disclosure language, compliant opt-in mechanisms, timestamped records, and secure storage with retrieval capability. For existing lists, we audit your current consent documentation and flag records that don’t meet the standard. We also build the ongoing processes to keep consent records current as regulations evolve.
Rich Hamilton
Problem
Federal TCPA rules are just the baseline. States like Florida, California, Oklahoma, and Washington have their own mini-TCPA statutes with requirements that go beyond federal law — different calling hours, stricter consent requirements, additional registration obligations. If you’re running campaigns across multiple states, the compliance matrix gets complex quickly, and a single rule you didn’t know about can create liability across an entire campaign.
Solution
We maintain state-by-state regulatory tracking across all 50 states and map those requirements to your specific campaign footprint. When you expand to a new state, we identify the incremental compliance requirements before you start dialing. We also monitor for legislative changes and flag when new state-level rules affect your active campaigns.
Greg Bloom
Problem
10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) registration is now required for A2P business texting, and the compliance landscape is still evolving. Carrier registration, campaign vetting, content guidelines, throughput limits, and CTIA standards all interact with TCPA consent requirements. Companies running SMS outreach often find that their texting program is compliant with one set of rules but not another — and the penalties include having your messages filtered or your numbers blocked entirely.
Solution
We handle the full 10DLC compliance stack: brand registration, campaign registration, content compliance review, TCPA consent alignment, and ongoing monitoring. We make sure your SMS outreach meets both the carrier-level requirements and the federal and state regulatory requirements simultaneously — because a message that gets delivered but violates the TCPA is worse than one that gets filtered.

How a compliance consulting engagement works
Scoping call and campaign inventory
We start with a scoping conversation to understand your outbound program: how many campaigns you're running, which channels (voice, SMS, or both), which states you're calling into, your current compliance processes, and what triggered the need for help. We build a campaign inventory that maps every active program to its regulatory requirements. This typically takes one call and a few days of documentation review.
Full campaign compliance audit
We audit every layer of your compliance posture: scripts and required disclosures, consent collection and documentation, DNC scrubbing processes, call recording practices, calling time windows, agent training records, and suppression file management. For SMS programs, we also review 10DLC registration, carrier compliance, and content guidelines. The audit typically takes 5–10 business days depending on the number of active campaigns.
Gap analysis and risk report
We deliver a detailed gap report that identifies every compliance issue found during the audit, prioritized by risk level and potential financial exposure. Each finding includes a specific recommendation for remediation, the regulatory citation it relates to, and a realistic timeline for fixing it. This becomes your compliance roadmap — whether you implement it with us or on your own.
Remediation and process buildout
For companies that want hands-on help, we implement the remediation plan directly: rewriting scripts for compliance, setting up DNC scrubbing infrastructure, building consent documentation systems, configuring call recording processes, and establishing state-by-state compliance protocols. We work with your existing technology stack wherever possible.
Agent compliance training
We develop and deliver compliance training programs tailored to your campaigns: what agents need to know about consent, DNC, required disclosures, calling hours, and documentation. Training is role-specific — what a dialer needs to know is different from what a campaign manager needs to know. We provide training materials, run live sessions, and build the ongoing cadence for refresher training as regulations change.
Ongoing monitoring and regulatory updates
Compliance isn't a one-time project. We provide ongoing monitoring of your campaigns, regular compliance reviews, and proactive alerts when regulatory changes affect your operations. When the FCC issues a new ruling, when a state passes a mini-TCPA amendment, when carrier 10DLC requirements update — we flag the impact to your specific campaigns and recommend the operational changes needed.
Two ways to engage: project-based or ongoing
Project-based audit
A one-time compliance audit with gap report and remediation recommendations. Best for companies that have internal compliance resources but need an outside assessment of their current posture. Typical engagement: 2–4 weeks.
Ongoing compliance partner
Continuous monitoring, regulatory tracking, periodic re-audits, and on-call compliance support. Best for companies running high-volume or multi-state campaigns that need a dedicated compliance resource. Engagement is month-to-month after initial audit.

Compliance requirements vary by industry. We know the specifics.
Every industry that uses outbound calling faces the baseline TCPA and TSR requirements — but many face additional regulations that layer on top. Insurance, healthcare, financial services, and others each have sector-specific rules that affect consent requirements, calling hours, disclosure language, and permissible contact methods. We tailor compliance programs to the regulatory environment your campaigns actually operate in.

Not sure what a qualification program would look like for your leads?
A short conversation is usually enough to map your lead sources, define qualification criteria, and figure out whether outsourced qualification is a fit. No pitch — just an honest look at your pipeline and where the gaps are.
The infrastructure behind reliable customer survey data
115 million+ third-party verifications
Our compliance infrastructure was built for regulated outbound calling at scale. Customer survey programs benefit from the same verification, consent management, and audit trail systems that govern our telemarketing operations.
Real-time QA on every calling session
Survey data quality depends on interviewer technique. We monitor calls in real time—not after the fact—so question framing, probing behavior, and neutrality are corrected within the same session, not the next one.
CRM and BI tool integration
Survey results push directly into your existing systems—Salesforce, HubSpot, or custom BI dashboards. Customer satisfaction scores live alongside account data, support history, and renewal timelines so your team sees the full picture in one place.
Structured data capture with verbatim coding
Every survey response is captured in structured format during the call. Open-ended responses are coded into themes for trend analysis. You receive both the raw data and the interpretation—not just a spreadsheet of numbers without context.
TCPA/PEWC/10DLC compliance monitoring
Outbound survey calls are subject to the same regulatory framework as any other outbound campaign. We manage consent, time-of-day restrictions, DNC compliance, and state-level regulations so your survey program never creates a compliance liability.

Frequently asked questions about outsourcing appointment setting
What does outsourced appointment setting cost?
It depends on campaign scope, agent model, and volume targets. As a benchmark: healthcare appointment setting programs typically run $176 to $264 per qualified appointment, based on 160-hour blocks delivering 20 to 30 confirmed meetings. Legal services campaigns have benchmarked at 1.13 appointments per hour. Enterprise-scale programs (800+ hours) bring the per-appointment cost down further. We publish ranges because we think you should know what this costs before you call us. We’re happy to model the numbers for your specific vertical and deal economics.
Do you offer pay-per-appointment pricing?
We understand the appeal of a pay-per-appointment model, and some buyers specifically search for it. In practice, hourly or block-based pricing tends to produce better results for both sides. Pay-per-appointment models create incentives to pad calendars with marginally qualified meetings to hit volume targets. Our block-based model aligns incentives around meeting quality, not meeting count. That said, we’re happy to discuss pricing structures during scoping and find the model that fits your situation.
What show rates should I expect?
Our clients typically see show rates between 70% and 85%, compared to the 50% to 60% that most internal programs produce. The difference comes from three things: stricter upfront qualification (decision-maker title, budget authority, timeline, and need all confirmed before a meeting is booked), a confirmation sequence within 24 hours of every booking, and the quality of meeting context we provide to your closers so the prospect feels prepared and committed.
How quickly can a campaign start producing meetings?
Most campaigns begin producing qualified meetings within 48 to 72 hours of going live. The full setup process, including list development, script writing, agent training, CRM integration, and dialing platform configuration, typically takes 5 to 7 business days. A one-time setup fee covers this infrastructure so the program is built to produce from day one.
Can you bundle appointment setting with lead generation?
Most campaigns begin producing qualified meetings within 48 to 72 hours of going live. The fullYes, and many of our clients do. Appointment setting campaigns naturally generate pipeline value beyond the booked meetings themselves. Prospects who say “send me more information” aren’t failures; they’re warm leads that enter a nurture queue. Our reporting captures both hard appointments (confirmed calendar bookings) and soft leads (interested decision-makers not yet ready to meet). If you need both lead generation and appointment setting, we can structure a single program that delivers both. Learn more about our B2B lead generation services. setup process, including list development, script writing, agent training, CRM integration, and dialing platform configuration, typically takes 5 to 7 business days. A one-time setup fee covers this infrastructure so the program is built to produce from day one.
How do booked meetings get on my team's calendar?
Meetings land directly on your sales team’s calendar with full context: who the prospect is, what was discussed, which qualification criteria they met, and any specific questions or concerns they raised. We integrate with Salesforce, HubSpot, and most major CRM and calendar platforms. For clients with custom scheduling systems, we support native API integration so agents book directly into your system with no manual handoff required.
Our clients speak for us, and the results speak for themselves
From appointment setting to full-cycle lead generation, our clients consistently highlight the professionalism, responsiveness, and real-world impact of our outbound programs.
