What is an unsolicited offer?

There is a frequent question that Bundy Group receives from business owners today:

I keep getting phone calls from buyers, and I just received an unsolicited offer. What should I do? Is this a legitimate offer or am I leaving money on the table? Does it make more sense to try and sell on my own or hire someone to run a competitive process?
