No, making a call to a person who has never solicited your services or contacted your company is not illegal, in the UK or the US. However, in both countries, there are strict laws and regulations that cover when and to whom they can be placed.nnOne of the biggest ways that businesses inexperienced in cold calling get into trouble is when they violate – even if the violation is unintentional – these standards, resulting in damage to their business’ image and even potentially leading to fines. It’s for this reason that it’s imperative that cold calls are made within the legal guidelines. The team at Pearl Lemon knows these rules and inside out and can ensure that every cold call made won’t get you and your business into trouble.
