Question 1

Who is Pryorify primarily for?

Accepted Answer

Pryorify is built first for Contacts who want a private, controlled front door for unsolicited professional approaches. They set the threshold, keep their address hidden and decide whether to reply. Senders use the route each Contact has chosen to open.

Question 2

What commission does Pryorify take?

Accepted Answer

Pryorify keeps 10% of a completed enquiry, and nothing else. The Contact keeps 90%. There is no subscription and no listing fee. The displayed price is the total Pryorify authorises and may charge: Pryorify pays every card-processing and payment-provider conversion cost out of its own share. A sender's bank may separately impose a foreign-card or currency charge, which Pryorify neither controls nor receives.

Question 3

When is the sender actually charged?

Accepted Answer

The sender's card is authorised, not charged. The payment is only taken if the contact gives a considered reply within 72 hours. A reasoned no counts as a reply. If nothing substantive arrives, the hold is released in full and the sender pays nothing.

Question 4

Will Pryorify interfere with my real business enquiries?

Accepted Answer

No. Pryorify only handles unsolicited approaches sent to you through the platform. Your customers, clients, suppliers and job applicants carry on reaching you by your normal channels, free of charge, exactly as they do today. Nothing is redirected, nothing is blocked and your email address is never shown.

Question 5

Who should sign up as a contact on Pryorify?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who receives more cold pitches, sales outreach, recruiter messages and requests to pick their brain than they can reasonably evaluate. Pryorify gives that traffic a threshold, so only approaches somebody is serious about reach you, and pays you for the considered replies you currently give away for free.

Question 6

Why join if I might never receive an enquiry?

Accepted Answer

Because the point is having the route open before somebody needs it. A Pryorify profile is a designated contact method for serious unsolicited approaches. You might receive ten enquiries in a month, one in a year, or none at all, and all of those are fine. One serious enquiry is worth more than a hundred messages you would never have opened.

Question 7

Is Pryorify a way to make money?

Accepted Answer

No. Pryorify is not a side hustle, an income stream or passive income, and we never suggest that joining creates demand. The payment exists to filter cold outreach and to signal that a sender genuinely wants you to see something. Being paid for the consideration is the consequence, not the purpose.

Question 8

What does my price actually mean?

Accepted Answer

It is a threshold rather than a valuation. Setting £10 does not say your attention is worth £10, it says that if somebody is not willing to put £10 behind an enquiry, it probably does not need you. The amount filters low-value outreach, signals the sender's intent, and compensates you for the time proper consideration takes.

Question 9

Is Pryorify an expert or consulting marketplace?

Accepted Answer

No. You are not selling advice, consultations, meetings or your time. Pryorify is professional access: somebody puts an enquiry in front of you, you give it proper consideration and you answer it properly. Where there is interest, the two of you carry on privately off the platform.

Question 10

What sorts of enquiries arrive through Pryorify?

Accepted Answer

Business pitches, investor approaches, partnership proposals, sales enquiries, approaches about a role, invitations to join a project, licensing discussions, charitable proposals and media enquiries from journalists or creators. The common denominator is that somebody genuinely needs one particular person to consider something.

Question 11

Where should I share my Pryorify link?

Accepted Answer

Wherever unsolicited professional approaches usually begin: LinkedIn, your personal website, a company bio, a social profile, an email signature or a contact page. One line is enough: "For serious professional enquiries: pryorify.com/yourname".

Question 12

How do I stop spam and sales emails without missing the messages that matter?

Accepted Answer

Filtering by keyword or sender only ever guesses, which is why it buries useful messages alongside the junk. Pryorify filters cold approaches by intent: a stranger must put money behind an enquiry, and you are paid only when you choose to give a considered reply.

Question 13

Can you get paid to answer professional enquiries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With Pryorify, you set one threshold for a considered reply, receive only screened enquiries and keep 90% of each completed payment. The sender is charged only once you have answered properly.

Question 14

Why does charging for access filter out noise?

Accepted Answer

Charging for access works because it moves the cost of a message from the person reading it to the person sending it, and only someone with a genuine reason will accept that cost. A spam filter guesses at intent from wording, whereas a price makes the sender demonstrate it.

Question 15

Will Pryorify get in the way of my real business enquiries?

Accepted Answer

No. Pryorify only handles unsolicited approaches sent to you through the platform, so your customers, clients, suppliers and job applicants carry on reaching you by your normal channels, free of charge. Nothing is redirected, nothing is blocked and your email address is never shown.

Question 16

How do I contact someone whose email address is not public?

Accepted Answer

If a person has not published an address for cold approaches, the honest options are an introduction from somebody they trust, their employer's own enquiry channel where the matter is genuinely business, or Pryorify if they have chosen to accept paid enquiries there. Guessing addresses, scraping them or buying a list is unreliable and, in the United Kingdom and the European Union, frequently unlawful.

Question 17

Cold outreach has stopped working. What replaces it?

Accepted Answer

Cold outreach stopped working because sending a message became free while reading one never did, so recipients defend their attention by ignoring almost everything. Pryorify offers a different route: you send one screened enquiry to a named person and pay only if they give you a considered reply.

Question 18

How do I reach a decision maker without buying a contact list?

Accepted Answer

Buying a contact list gets you a stale address and no permission, which is why response rates keep falling and complaints keep rising. With Pryorify, you send one screened enquiry to a named person and payment is taken only if they give a considered reply.

Question 19

Is buying an email list legal in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Buying a list is not automatically unlawful in the UK, but using it almost always is unless the data was collected with valid, specific consent that names you, and you meet UK GDPR transparency duties on top. For individual subscribers and sole traders PECR requires consent or a genuine existing customer relationship, which a purchased list cannot give you.

Question 20

What are the alternatives to cold email, LinkedIn InMail and lead databases?

Accepted Answer

The realistic options are cold email, LinkedIn InMail, a contact database, a warm introduction or Pryorify, and they differ mainly in who carries the cost of attention. With Pryorify, the recipient is compensated and the sender pays nothing unless a considered reply arrives.

Question 21

Why does paying for someone's attention make my enquiry more credible?

Accepted Answer

Ordinary cold outreach costs nothing to send, so a recipient has no way of telling a serious approach from a bulk campaign. Putting money behind a single enquiry is a cost only somebody who genuinely wants that person to see it will accept, and that fact is visible before the message is even read.
