When I looked into it to run a campaign, I made calls to both the MN and MI attorney generals office.
MN - illegal for both residences and businesses
MI - illegal for residences, fine for businesses
There are state laws and federal laws. What's legal on the federal level may not be at the state level. Do some checking first.

Direct Mail Co-Op with an auto call blast prior to the mailing for the home owner to be "looking for the big red envelope containing special offers and sweepstakes" - then an auto call a few days after specific to your company and offer . . .

I tried a similar system in the 80s before they were outlawed in Connecticut. I owned 3 auto dialers. They worked for a while. I think that a for a short period people found the experience of being called by a robot to be novel.
That got old quickly! After a fairly short period of time, the return got lower and lower.
You have to spend time listening to the taped responses of the people who were called. Eventually this was more time consuming and less productive than making cold calls.

Actually - they press 1 to be connected live to the next available agent. If on hold - they get to hear testamonies from current clients.
If they respond to an answering machine message - they dial an 800# and are connected live to a gatekeeper, who filters out the hard asses and then forwards the call live to the next available agent.
It works. Well - except in the States that don't allow it.

Cold calling has ZERO costs ?.25 and 1%, cold calling offers better returns at zero cost*
*This opinion on cold calling is based on a salesperson knowing what they're doing.
(I've found we need disclaimers on here, lol)
