However, you have posted that Product Development Corporation is part of a group “known to be solicitors.” This is not correct. Product Development Corporation (PDC) is a national distributor of telephone directories. PDC utilizes phone calls to confirm delivery of telephone directories. The Federal Do-Not-Call legislation does not appy to organizations that are not soliciting (selling or marketing something). <br/><br/>PDC uses delivery verification through phone calls because of the cost and quality of this quality control method. This type of quality control process is done by all the major companies in the distribution of telephone directories. Having said this, PDC is aware and respects that there are individuals that would not like to be part of this type of survey. As a result, PDC has created its own internal Do-No-Call list. If you or anyone else would like to have their phone number removed from our calling lists, please email the phone number you wish to be removed to DoNotCall@teampdc.com. <br/><br/>I would like to reiterate that delivery verification calling is a quality control standard in our industry and that each company that does this type of quality control is responsible for their own list. As such, even though PDC will no longer contact all numbers that are requested to be on our DoNoCall list, you may be contacted by others that do not have this capability.<br/><br/>Product Development Corporation I appreciate the intent of your blog page here.

A lot of you are curious why we call in the first place. So many of our customers are thrilled to hear from us because they know they will get the best deal when they speak with a person (I can get you internet specials, mailing specials, phone specials, and store specials all in one place). On average, I sell something to one in every 10 people I talk to. So a lot of people are very happy when I say I am from Omaha Steaks.<br/><br/>And believe me, we don't like doing second efforts any more than you like hearing them. But we get in trouble if we don't continue to sell even if you've said no (and we do get a lot of orders after someone has said no) Oh - by the way.

Listen - The best thing you can do is answer the phone. We're taught from day one in training that if you don't answer, we hit Shift + F12 and that says answering machine, call back in 3-5 hours. So ignoring us only gets you more calls. Answer the phone, and just politely ask to be removed from the calling list. There are some common misconceptions people seem to have about this - <br/>1. You have to be extremely firm, rude, or agitated when you ask to be removed from the list. - The majority of people in our calling center are either college kids trying to pay tuition or single parents working a second job. We didn't control that we would call you (a computer randomly picked you as our next call). Wouldn't you be much more receptive and polite (removing someone from the calling list) if the person asking is polite?<br/>2. That we will get agitated when you ask and be rude about getting you off the list. - I could care less if I'm calling you or not, so I have no problem putting you on the do not call list.<br/>3. For some reason no one reads what the National "Do Not Call List" is. We cannot call you unless you've done business with us in the last 18 months. If we're calling you, odds are you've done some kind of business with us.<br/><br/>By the way, we're required to keep on selling to you until you've said "No" a number of times (unless you immediately ask to be taken off the list, then we don't continue to sell). So saying "let me save you some time, i'm not interested" doesn't really save anyone any time. I get fired if I don't continue to sell to you.<br/><br/>Finally - pick up the phone. We're just going to keep on calling every 3-5 hours until you do (it's way beyond my control - I have no idea how many times you've ignored this number on your caller ID).
