“The leads from reporters are highly targeted and state exactly what the reporter is looking for. I’ve already been interviewed by the BBC for a profile they are doing on Oprah. Since I wrote ‘The Ultimate Guide to Getting Booked on Oprah,’ that was an exact match for me.
You can be as specific as you like to insure you’ll only get the responses you’re looking for. It’s different from other “PR wire services” in that it’s highly personalized. Dan really spends the time to interview each subscriber for their key search words and publicity goals, teaches them how to respond, and coaches them along the way if they need it.
I have found it to be a godsend.”
Susan Harrow, Author, “Sell Yourself without Selling Your Soul”
You do. We’ll send the actual lead to you by email. You’ll see the reporter’s name, contact information, 100-word description of the article and what material they need. You own the relationship.
“Because of your instructions in how to structure my pitch, the reporter was very attuned to what I had to tell him and seemed to go out of his way to get me to describe my target market and a way they could get in touch with me. I’ve been a reporter, editor, press release writer and self-promoter for more than three decades, and I’ve never had such a good interview before. You’ve got a winner with PR Leads!”
David Garfinkel, NSA Memeber, Author, “Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich”

“PR Leads so far has been fascinating and fun to respond to! Thanks again for making it possible for me to participate.”
Gabrielle Alizay , Feng Shui Consultations
“This is the most amazingly simple and productive way to get PR. It took me only one minute to respond. A major target market editor immediately emailed me.”
Roxanne Emmerich CSP, CMC, NSA MEMBER
Remember, reporters don’t want you to write articles; they want to find sources. So you need to send them info that establishes you as an authority who can provide the information they need! If you have expertise and passion, you should do fine!
“I have been using your system for less than three months now and I’ve already been quoted in Investors Business Daily! There’s no way I could create that result just from sending press releases. Your service helps me target my PR and gets big-time results fast. I’m a fan for life!”
Vickie Sullivan, Sullivan Speaker Services, NSA MEMBER
It varies, but some people have had immediate success.
“I had an interview today for a Glamour article. Thanks for the great pr leads service. I haven’t been subscribing long, but am definitely seeing some results.”
Karla Erovick, Dating Expert, Speaker, and Author of “Love to Date – Date to Love: Unlocking the Secrets of Dating”

“I saved thousand of dollars by using PR Leads! And I made my money back the first day when the Wall Street Journal interviewed me. Imagine not wasting time writing press releases or spending a fortune on a PR firm. You’ve imagined PR Leads. It’s a dream come true for speakers and authors who need publicity to sell more books and speeches!”

“Without lifting a finger, I’m getting 1-2 media interviews a week, including a great interview with ‘Entrepreneur’ magazine. I know I will get a return on investment of at least 10 times what I paid. You should charge more!”
Kevin Donlin, Author “Follow-up Marketing”
“In my first year as an author, seeking publicity, I found many people with their hands out who were willing to take my money and deliver only promises. Then I found Dan and PR Leads. Dan was willing to work with me individually and give PR Leads a trial run. His concern was whether I was happy with his service and if it was working for me, BEFORE he ever asked for the sale. In the span of one month, I have been interviewed by several journalists and will be quoted in a major publication in Spring 2002. PR Leads is the best game in town!”
Susan L. Gilbert, Author, “The Land of I Can, An Adventure in Life”
“Since I signed up three months ago, I’ve gotten about 50 requests from reporters for interviews on my topic — and I was actually interviewed by 42 of them. That’s an 80% hit rate — great shootin’. No other service has even come close.
These are high-quality leads too. I’ve been interviewed by Newsweek, Business Week, BrandChannel.com, and Fortune Small Business.
One more thing: You should know that I paid full price for this. No trade. No barter. That’s how good I think it is!
Rob Frankel, Author, “Revenge of Brand X”
“The ROI metrics of PR Leads is simplistic. It just takes one mention in the media to pay for itself! You cannot buy that type of individualistic branding elsewhere, and you can use the story over and over in many formats for marketing and branding. PR Leads is a must for competitive advantage.”
Steve Koss, Sports marketing expert, StadiaNet
