Leadscon was really amazing this year.

Not just an opportunity to catch up with folks but really a great chance to gauge the pulse of the industry–and right now the heartbeat of leadgen is compliance. More so than ever before.

We call this the “Troutman effect” of course.

You remember 5 years ago when I first started preaching compliance to this group– it fell on deaf ears, or worse. Many folks called me a “fear monger.” Refused to receive the good word.

But now, everyone’s ears are open and the industry is actively trying to course correct. And I am going to take 100% of the credit for the change.

Like the missionaries of old, I have converted the masses to the light…

Matters are much the same I think when it comes to the treatment of women in the industry– we call this the “Amin effect.”

Since Puja came on the stage women in the industry have been much more active and vocal about advancing women within digital marketing and advertising and keeping the ecosystem fair. Indeed, several groups sprung up riding the momentum that she created.

We saw how powerful her following is in our recent spat with MEF— magazine out this week BTW, be ready–but her influence really permeates the lead generation industry with so many women looking up to her and considering her something of an icon.

Most important among her contributions was the creation of the “Report Abuse” button on the Troutman Amin, LLP website, however.

There women (and men) can report abuse or mistreatment they suffered at a conference and get whatever level of help they need. If someone wants to make an anonymous report–just so there is a record of the event and perhaps to help someone else from suffering the same fate–you can do that. If you want assistance seeking counsel or other forms of support, we can provide that too.

This is an absolutely FREE service of Troutman Amin. We do NOT take on these sorts of cases and never make a penny on any sort of referral here. We just want to help people to be taken care of in a world that can be pretty scary sometimes.

And TRUST ME we HAVE made a difference. I can’t discuss details but people HAVE lost their positions over reports that have been made on our website and we HAVE protected others from suffering similar fates. It is a VERY powerful tool–but only if it is used by people impacted by abusive or inappropriate conduct.

The button is easy to find and easy to use. Just visit TroutmanAmin.com and you will see it up in the righthand corner. Its red. Click it and you will be taken to an easy-to-use flow where you can submit as much (or as little) information as you are comfortable with.

Always here to help folks.

With love.

He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters.
