What Is A "Prospecting" List?

[rapidscc]

I recently encountered this term via salespage of a paid membership site. If my memory serves me right, I think they said they'll give members 500 prospecting list each month.

Any idea what's this all about?

Thanks,

Really don't have enough information how they gathered those names for them to pass them along to their members

most times these types of list are not too focused could be co-registration types of list which from what I understand do not covert well,

maybe after you try to develop a relationship with that list and find out which ones will stick and which will never convert is what they mean by prospecting type of list

without more information tough to say

If they're free, they can sometimes turn out to be just people who offered their details in exchange for a free entry to a prize-draw or to get some other kind of freebie, or whatever. Or you can turn out to be one of 50 people who has been given them. Don't assume they'll be people with any interest in whatever it is you'll be promoting. Difficult to say more without knowing more. But bear in mind that a "prospect" is someone who has already expressed interest in something the type of which you're promoting. Anything else isn't really a list of prospects, though it's often described that way: it's just a list of people's contact details.
