There are my results ..

Hi Scott,
I found your xxxx service on merchant circle today and noticed that your site is not mobile friendly.
I use merchant circle on my smart phone just like the majority of people do these days so you could be missing out on those potential customers.
I have a quick fix that will get you mobile ready for 25.00. I've attached some before and after screen shots for your reference.
Contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks for your time.
Prospect Response -
Hi (My Name Here) :)
Thanks for the call and email. I actually have a guy who manages my website and I forwarded this onto him. His name is Ryan and he might be contacting you..
Thanks,
Scott
I didn't get the sale right away but that's ok since this was the only prospect I contacted so far. I'm going to be scaling this method up now and I'll try to keep you guys updated on my results.
Dude!
I love your post and I've read a few of your others. You know a few things about lead gen! (Only I know a lot more.)
Repped you and the OP! This isn't a bad product. Mobile is so hot right now, you can burn your hands on it!
This is one of those storybook products. I stumbled into this - you should do it too - da - da - da!
In this case, $30k is very doable - even reasonable to the right company. (Regardless of what pinhead naysayers are babbling about - I do deals that size and bigger every week!)
And I can see you guys closing even bigger deals with this one thing - way bigger.
LUCK HAS ZERO TO DO WITH IT!
BUT
You are bringing ole Quasar to tears! (And that ain't easy!)
You don't sell hundred dollar bills for nickels dude!
$25?!
Really?!
And then you devalue your services by telling them it is a "quick fix?!"
Man Oh Man!
Never! Never! Never!
You are shitting in your own pond!
What are you delivering to the buyers?
More customers, right? That is a BIG deal!
You trying to tell me a customer is only worth $25 to an offliner?!
Bullshit!
That customer you are bringing them has what you know as "lifetime customer value!"
You did research what that is to your target market, right? Hell, anything bigger than a pizza joint will pay more for leads and the expression: "quick fix" - should not exist in your lexicon when communicating with offliners!
Most of them don't know and can't tell an intricate IM job or fix from a simple one.
Why would you volunteer that anything is a quick fix and make yourself sound like a minimum wage Geek Squad flunkie?
That is GOLD dude!
At best - you are selling your services - whatever they are - for a fraction (10% or less) of what they are worth!
PLEASE STOP!
Or I will have to find you and then I will have to kill you! 
I thought exactly the same thing when I read the post.
My company starts at 497GBP for a static HTML mobile site up to 1500 GBP for full cms.
Selling at $25 is just crazy. I don't do any of this free site and make hosting commission either.
People are killing the market doing such stuff.

LOL .. Quasar ... Please don't kill me! :) Thanks man, I agree with you 100% For the record the "Quick Fix" is just a singe mobile landing page with the business contact info, not a full site and I do have a back end set up. And yes ... I wasted too much time debating weather or not to put that in the email and when i realized what I was doing ( NOT TAKING ACTION ) I had to kick myself IN THE ASS and HIT SEND!
You see, like most people just starting out .. I did too much procrastinating and second guessing myself last year which is why I struggled to keep my business up and running. I promised myself From now on I'm going to take action, test and tweek until I get the results I want ... PERIOD ... NO EXCEPTIONS.
I've set a modest goal of 54,750 in sales for my mobile consulting business this year, that comes out to six 25$ websites a day and since I have plenty to sell on the back end .. I know I will make a lot more :)
So thanks to Quasar and everyone else for their feedback, keep it coming PLEASE! .. I'm soaking it up like a sponge, and using it to make those necessary tweaks to improve my results!
Those of you who are just saying that it's the same old crap are missing the point. The lead gen method he is teaching is your golden goose not creating the mobile site itself all of us in this business understand that process never changes.
But what does change is what tools you use to get the leads.
Thanks for sharing rep+ OP
Thanks so much for the share.
I've been selling mobile sites for quite sometime,
and I really like this new way for lead generation.
Reps added!
PQ
Thanks for sharing "BigDaddy" rep+ !
Pretty smart lead gen method.
Anyone have the OTO?
and can anyone recommend a way to make mobile mockups?
I left you a PM.. Go big...
If you sell yourself short to people such as a lawyer, they WILL laugh at you.. you can count on it..
Get paid what you are worth and what it is worth to your client! Don't be afraid of the negative or rejection, so what, don't take it persona, they are the ones missing out!.. if the client can't see the value that you've giving them then move on, others will see it.. give them that value.. all the best..
Man, sorry for the bad spelling.. been going to much here.. take care..
(01-09-2015 12:33 AM)DataPimp Wrote: [ -> ]Just to elaborate on this. One of the methods I use for finding mobile clients is finding business using PPC
who don't have a mobile/responsive landing page. Not only are they losing customers they are also paying through the nose for clicks due to bad site quality.
In fact you can get clients all day long finding business whos PPC ads land strait on their corporate site
rather than a dedicated landing page.

When we talk to the clients, most of them will agreed to let us do the mobile version of their website.
But we need their web hosting to edit their index file.
And most of them already have their normal style website and hosting with other designer.
It is very hard to ask their website designer to give us their ftp password or info.
Sometimes if the designer know their client want to do mobile website, their cut our business too.
Anyone have the same issue???
Bump for OTO.. Thanks and max reps added..
Best,
