Targeted prospects are coming to you each and everyday, but from a very unlikely place. You probably do not recognize these potential customers /subscribers. You are most likely dismissing these targeted prospects as an annoyance. They cost you NOTHING, but could be costing you in LOST SALES. Here is how I discovered this hidden treasure.

Everyday I receive a never ending stream of unsolicited email offers, thank goodness for Spam filters. However, many of these unsolicited offers land into my IN BOX. These messages have been verified that they originated from legitimate email addresses and other criteria that makes them borderline or questionable SPAM.

At first, I was annoyed that my SPAM filter would let these messages pass into my IN BOX. Then one day I decided to REPLY back to each of these messages with my own offer. Let these guys/gals see how annoying it is to get unsolicited email in their IN BOX. To my surprise, 3 out of 5 actually ACCEPTED my offer. Now, I value these unsolicited offers that "squeak" through my SPAM filter.

I began to consider just how much time and money I spend ...
... each day trying to find new prospects, when targeted prospects are coming to me. Each day, I was DELETING these highly targeted prospects and curse them for sending their offers. When, I could easily, reply back with a note of appreciation and include my own offer. The senders of these offers are promoting online businesses and would be perfect prospects for my offer. I can send a reply offer-message with just a few key strokes, it doesn't take but a couple of seconds to do.

Step 1: I composed my "reply" offer that I would send:

Thank you very much for sending your great offer, I appreciate your thinking of me. I have a very special invitation that you will find valuable.
