unsolicited offers
Approaches without asking
Unsolicited offers are proposals made without being requested or invited.
The phrase appears most often in contexts where someone receives offers they didn't ask for—job recruiters reaching out, companies proposing to buy property, or strangers offering services: We've been getting unsolicited offers on the house since prices went up.
The term often carries a note of intrusion or annoyance, though unsolicited offers can sometimes be welcome.
