Automotive Dealership SMS Compliance Playbook
The Operator's Guide to 10DLC Registration, TCPA Consent, and Carrier Rules for Dealerships
Book 2 of the MyTCRPlus Industry Solutions book series. Dealerships send more automated texts than almost any other business: lead follow-up, test-drive reminders, service and recall notices, lease-maturation offers. Each one crosses three separate rulebooks, and a single unregistered campaign or undocumented opt-in can block delivery or put millions in statutory damages on the table. This 102-page book gives dealerships a step-by-step path through registration, consent, opt-outs, and rejection fixes. You receive the complete book as a print-quality PDF file, downloadable immediately after purchase.
