Is Your New AI Voice Tool TSR Compliant?
The rise of Voice AI tools, like TwinsAI, has revolutionized sales by automating outreach and increasing productivity. However, this innovation must navigate a complex regulatory landscape to ensure compliance with global outbound calling rules, including the FCC's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) and ETSI standards in the EU.
For companies employing Voice AI, compliance risks loom large. Missteps, such as non-compliance with consent laws, failure to disclose AI use, or improper call handling; can lead to hefty fines and reputational damage. Beyond TSR, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) governs similar practices in the EU, emphasizing human oversight and consent for AI-driven communication.
The FCC Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) was designed to protect consumers from deceptive practices in telemarketing, and expanded in March of 2024 to include business-to-business calls. It sets strict guidelines on how and when businesses can contact prospects, including rules for disclosures, call recording, and opt-out mechanisms. In 2024, the TSR was also updated to address the use of artificial intelligence in telemarketing, requiring businesses to ensure that AI tools maintain transparency and comply with consent-based practices.
Regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) further complicate the landscape. These laws enforce stringent data privacy standards, particularly when personal information is processed during calls.
To navigate this regulatory web, Voice AI tools must prioritize "human-in-the-loop" designs, as TwinsAI does. By ensuring AI-driven calls comply with global laws and regulations, businesses can unlock the benefits of automation while minimizing legal risks. Adherence to these rules is not just a legal necessity, it’s a competitive advantage in maintaining trust and driving innovation responsibly.
Beyond ensuring compliance, TwinsAI unlocks significant productivity gains for sales teams. By automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks such as cold calling, lead qualification, and CRM updates, TwinsAI enables sales representatives to focus on higher-value activities like relationship-building and closing deals. Features like real-time transcription, sentiment analysis, and next-step summaries streamline the sales process, reducing administrative overhead and minimizing errors. Sales teams using TwinsAI have reported a 6-11x increase in daily call volumes, allowing organizations to scale outreach without adding headcount. The integration with CRMs ensures seamless data synchronization, empowering sales managers to make data-driven decisions and optimize team performance.
