As businesses gear up to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations for 2024, Buyers and Publishers in the lead generation industry face new challenges in securing consumer consent.
The FCC ruling, which aims to “close the lead generation loophole,” mandates one-to-one express written consent from consumers before they can be contacted by businesses via calls or texts.
This change requires a shift in how brands manage consumer data and consent, leading to a pressing need for innovative, compliant solutions for technology and overall approach.
Here’s where Phonexa comes in with its Consent Branch, designed to simplify this compliance process and provide significant benefits to businesses navigating these new regulations.
A Quick Look at How 2024 FCC Regulations Impact Industries
The FCC’s recent ruling on lead generation significantly alters how businesses can contact consumers. Under the new guidelines, companies must secure express written consent from consumers before reaching out, except in cases of manual dialing.
This change aims to protect consumer privacy and reduce excessive communications, especially in cases where consumers provide their information online, leading to multiple outreach efforts after their data is shared with various sources.
