Are your sales reps ready to handle the FTC’s new cancellation rules? Do they understand what’s required to comply and keep consumers satisfied? ?????? "They recognize that if someone signed up online, it has to just be by the same method. Isn't going to work." – Linda Goldstein Join our host Tedd Huff as he discusses the FTC’s new Click-to-Cancel rule with legal expert Linda Goldstein (BakerHostetler), Carl DAgostino (CEO, solvpath?), and Jayare Charron (VP of Partnerships, solvpath?). The FTC has made it clear—cancellation should be as easy as sign-up. Whether customers enroll online or in-store, businesses must offer an online or phone cancellation option. These updates mean businesses can no longer rely on the "inconvenience factor" to retain customers. The days of making people return to the store just to cancel are over, and companies need to adapt quickly. ?? Want to keep up with these critical changes? Sign up for our newsletter now. 1?? Online or phone cancellations are a must. 2?? Customers can’t be forced back in-store. 3?? Reps must know the rules well. With phone, in-person, and online transactions now involved, companies must train their sales teams to handle cancellations appropriately. Reps need a clear understanding of what’s allowed in these conversations and what isn’t, or the consequences could be costly. Your reps are on the front lines, and the FTC expects businesses to take responsibility for ensuring they’re up to speed. The result? A customer experience that’s not just complaint-free but also fully compliant with the latest standards.
