Active Solicitation

Active solicitation of existing ACD customers is prohibited by ACD Agents or Wholesalers.

  • Contacting a customer to switch service to switch to the Agent or Wholesaler's provided service, when it is known or when it is discovered through the sales process with the customer, is considered active solicitation.
  • Targeting specific customers or specific groups of customer that are known to have service with ACD, is considered active solicitation.
  • Marketing that targets (if you are with ACD, we can get you a better price), is considered active solicitation.

Passive Solicitation

  • TV, Radio, or other mass media ads.
  • Mass call campaigns.
  • Cold Call activities performed by a company's sales persons attempting to get general business, where it is never revealed by the end-user customer that they have existing ACD service.
  • Cold Call activities performed by a company's sales person attempting to get general business, where it is revealed that they have the Agent or Wholesaler Services that are not provided by ACD.


Application of Policy

  • This policy shall apply only to agents or wholesale customers whom are in good standing with ACD. Good standing means that the fees are not in arrears (over 60 days) and have an active agent or wholesale agreement that is not in violation with ACD.
  • If the agent or wholesaler is not in good standing, then this policy does not apply.
