I wanted to share a situation that happened to me last year, in the hope that it may just help you close a sale. I was contacting a number of end users to sell a two-word domain name I owned, when one of these leads replied, asking how much I wanted to sell the domain name.
The price I wanted was just over $1,000 but after several emails back and forth, they were not willing to offer that much - in fact, their highest offer was around $750. This is when I went to Twitter.com and checked whether the domain name's keywords were registered as a Twitter username.
The username wasn't registered, so I quickly registered the free username and replied to the lead to let them know that I would be willing to give them the matching Twitter username if they met my asking price. A deal was then agreed to at my asking price, and we both walked away very happy.
A Twitter username cannot be sold by itself, as per Twitter's terms & conditions, but it can be included within a domain name sale, and it may just help to close a sale - especially if your lead is already an active social media user.
