CTPS Corporate Telephone Preference Service
The CTPS aims to stop small businesses being inundated with telephone sales calls. Businesses can register their telephone numbers with the CTPS with the aim of cutting the sales calls they receive. Calls updating information and undertaking research are not covered. If you are making cold calls you need to check that the numbers you are calling have not registered with the CTPS.
Businesses and public organisations ie schools, hospitals,
government can register their phone numbers, in writing, with the CTPS. Telesales operators have one month from the date of registration to remove the phone numbers from their databases and stop calling them.
Electric Marketing subscribes to the CTPS 'do not call list' and all our lists have the letters CTPS before a phone number that is on the 'do not call' register.
