Any retailers out there help out a newbie

I was wondering how you guys make this work.
My interpretation is that you cannot run your own promotions (aside from a high level executive approval from DIRECTV) such as offering a $20 gift card for signing up. 2.6, 6.1.
You can't cold call, even though it is perfectly legal and a great method (so long as you comply with FTC/FCC). Schedule 2.6(ii)1.D.
You can't sell any other cable network. (1,1.3)
So am I right in reading that you can't run special promotions to get customers, cold call, or sell any other TV service as a retailer for DIRECTV?

I'd have this moved to the installers forum. More feedback there.

Can't cold call except for commercial.

You can sell other products unless you have an exclusive agreement, which should be easy to fix.

No issue running your own gift card promo
