Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Telemarketing Sales Rule prohibits calls before 8:00 AM or after 9:00 PM in the consumer's time zone, so calling a consumer's residence at 9:30 PM violates this rule.

B, C, and D are not likely to violate the TSR. Soliciting sales through mailed catalogs and receiving orders by phone is a common practice and does not violate the rule. Making phone calls to get an appointment for a face-to-face sales presentation is also allowed, as long as the salesperson complies with all the other requirements of the TSR. Similarly, completing a transaction in a face-to-face meeting after making an initial call of solicitation is also allowed under the TSR.
