CINCINNATI, OHIO (PRWEB) January 27, 2004 --CallCommand, a leading provider of web-based communication solutions to automotive retailers nationwide, today announced the release of CallScan On Demand; telemarketing compliance in a box.    CallScan On Demand is a low cost, easy to implement way of assuring compliance with FTC, FCC, State Agencies, and even Company Specific list regulations regarding new Do Not Call (DNC) legislation.

   Daily call volume makes it virtually impossible for most dealers to ensure full compliance from salespeople and service advisors. Yet non-compliance can mean hefty fines and possible lawsuits. CallScan On Demand ensures compliance and provides protection with a complete reporting and monitoring system; all without the cost of additional hardware, software or the necessity to switch phone service providers. With CallScan On Demand, telemarketing compliance is just one less thing a busy dealer has to worry about.
   
    CallCommand released CallScan On Demand in response to dealer requests for a simple, all inclusive system to monitor salesperson compliance. In todays market, business is very competitive; when salespeople get a fresh lead they want to pick up the phone and dial. Many were overwhelmed by the task of having to wade through tens of thousands of numbers in order to ensure compliance. CallScan On Demand simplifies everything by an automatic check whenever a user picks up the phone," commented Al Babbington, CallCommand CEO.

   CallScan On Demand is designed for complete ease of use. Most dealership phone systems operate by keying in a number such as 8 or 9. CallScan On Demand operates on the same basis; it integrates with the dealerships existing phone system and does not require any additional equipment.

   The dealership selects a single digit number to key into the phone system and the call is then automatically placed into the CallScan On Demand System. The system automatically checks each call against 6 lists for full dealership protection and convenience: Federal, State, Company Specific, Area Code Perimeter, Restricted Area Codes (999-900, etc.) and Predator Lists (people are trying to entrap legitimate businesses and milk them for thousands of dollars). In this way, the dealership is protected on all fronts.

   Select users are provided with a password so they can override the system. For example, a person calls and needs immediate assistance, yet their number is listed with the DNC registry and so it is blocked by CallScan On Demand. The user can enter in the password which overrides the system and enables the call. CallScan On Demand compiles a report of each user with the exact date and time of each call, providing added protection against any possible complaints. In addition to satisfying the monitoring regulation, the instant web based reporting provides a great management tool to see each salespersons outbound telephone activity.

   2003 was a year of expansive growth and new product development for CallCommand. A suite of new products that aid dealer telemarketing compliance, improve customer relations, decrease marketing costs and increase market share will be unveiled at the 2004 NADA convention and exposition in Las Vegas, Jan 31-Feb 3. Press conference will be Monday, February 2 at 10:00 a.m.
