I am very pleased to be here. I was one of those people that was skeptical that Organic Prospects would deliver, but a convert I am! I just wrote a pretty long review about my experience here:

Organic Prospects: Is It TRASH, Or the Real Deal?
Lots of people have been asking me about Organic Prospects, so I decided that I was going to go ahead and give it a try myself. One of the people I spoke with seemed almost certain that it was a waste, so I came into this experience ready to be disappointed. In this review, I'll explore my experience and let you know my ultimate thoughts. If you read on, I'll answer the question: “will Organic Prospects work for me?”
What Is It Anyway?
Organic Prospects is a company that acquires prospects for home business owners. The use a proprietary method to collect these prospects from about 15 different sources, then they go ahead and grade them from 0-100% to determine the quality and genuine interest of these prospects, and finally, they filter out the ones that don't rank highly enough, and distribute them at a rate of 70 per customer per day. Tailored to your particular business, these prospects are chosen for their likelihood to be interested in business opportunities. Its basically a matchmaking service for businesses looking for customers.
Where Did This Company Come From?
Organic prospects is a company founded by two guys; Greg and Aaron. They came up with the concept in 2003 at the peak of pay per click advertising when they were both doing Google AdWords—something sure to be familiar to most people interested in online marketing. Having done Google AdWords marketing back in 2009, this resonated with me. I too spent my AdWords days hoping I could find or create a better marketing method. The fact that they have been around for 12 years made them seem a little more promising.
Who Can Benefit From Organic Prospects?
According to Organic Prospects, any online or home business can benefit from this platform. Got an online store? Check. Do you provide a non-tangible or digital service? Check. What about a local business with an online presence? Yes, you too. If you're a website owner looking to connect with people who will be interested in what you're posting, or to boost ad revenue? Organic Prospects will work for you.
What You WON'T get from Organic Prospects
Organic Prospects won't reach out to your customers for you. They won't do your copy writing or create flawless emails for you to engage your customers (however many members in the Organic Prospects Forum are more than willing to help) Think of it this way: as the old saying goes, you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. In this scenario, you're the horse. (A horse with a business) and drinking is a metaphor for having your marketing and customer outreach plan on point. I know its not perfect, but hey, its a metaphor. The point being: this tool isn't going to solve all of your problems without you needing to raise a finger. You still need to actually do something. As with any marketing tool worth what you pay for it, it doesn't promise to do everything for you. Lets be realistic here!
How Much Does it Cost to Sign Up?
I paid $59.95 to sign up and $29.95 on an ongoing basis every 30 days after you joined. You can cancel when you want, which is good, because I was ready to cancel right away if it didn't work the way it was supposed to. Thankfully, I actually like it and I'm still signed up. Whenever I try new things like this, I'm ready to call my credit card company if things go south or get sketchy, but this has been a non-concern for me this time around.
What Are The Features?
Like I mentioned earlier, when you sign up and set your account up, you get 70 prospects each and every day after that. But what else does Organic Prospects offer? The Organic Mailer, which allows you to contact your prospects. While you can download them and use your own software or normal email to reach out to your prospects, the Organic Mailer has lots of interesting features that allow you to track your progress—and your success—with certain customers and certain mailings. You can see the data that you would want to see; how many people opened it, who clicked the link in your mailings, and more information that helps you see the effectiveness of your marketing strategies. You can also view the data collected about each prospect.
Do Others Get The Same Prospects as Me?
This was one of the questions I saw a lot; many people were reluctant that these would genuinely be prospects that were picked for them, and others assumed that they send the same daily list to everyone, or at least shared the same prospects with members in the same industry. This is not the case. Organic Prospects collects, grades, filters, and distributes a different list to every single member. I compared my list with a friend in the same industry each day, and I never got any of his prospects from current or past groups of prospects. You are the only person getting these prospects. You aren't receiving recycled prospects that other members are getting. Period.
How is the Member Support?
Once you become a member, Organic Prospects stays focused on keeping customers happy. I haven't had any reason to reach out to customer support, but I opened a ticket in the Support Desk area to see how fast the response would be, and sure enough I received a personalized response to my question. They have tools and FAQs available if you run into an issue.
So... Is It Legit?
Now that I've seen every aspect as a member and seen that the prospects are indeed of high quality, I can easily say “no”. Ultimately, they deliver what they promise, and I have not had any payment issues or service issues that would suggest that they abandon their customers or sneak in extra charges. I've found a couple of people that have been using it for a few years, and I've heard positive feedback there as well.
What Were Your Results?
Once I confirmed that Organic Prospects was legit, I took the time to compare my results with Organic Prospects to my results emailing randomly collected prospects before signing up. I noticed that I was seeing between 30%-73% response or interest rate after signing up, whereas the list I collected had about 0.5% response rate on a good day. What does this mean? Better conversions and more connections with future customers.
So before anyone asks the questions I anticipate hearing: “will you remain a member after your experiment is over?” and “is it really worth it?” my answer is a resounding “yes!” to both. The $30 cost is negligible, and this service has delivered on everything it said it would.
