This week’s topic is a software program I use called Scrub DNC. It is used to scrub phone lists to make sure that they are compliant with national do not call laws. The software is very good in my mind and is some of the best I have found. The Scrub DNC software can be found at the website http://www.scrubdnc.net/ they offer 3 different versions of the software to better suit an individual’s needs. Scrub DNC Pro, Standard, and One.

I personally use One DNC and it has worked great. If you are a small business One DNC will work great for you, obviously the larger you get the greater your need to purchase the more expensive software. If you find yourself in need of software to clean phone call lists I would highly recommend check out Scrub DNC.
