Umbrella up before Follow up
You can command a significantly higher price by presenting yourself (and your domain name) as "inclusive". If you are uncomfortable with that (inclusive) you should work on acquiring relevant knowledge about specific company and niche. What they do not like is people who truly don't have a grasp of what their company or niche is about.
By going blind the only difference lies in the buyer's "feeling" about the domain name. The more price elasticity exist, more differences than similarities arise.
De-linking knowledge will lead your own mind to: substantially lower price.
It's better to "know" than just to believe it, even if your belief is based on indications, it's not enough.
The deeper the commitment to learn something about the niche or company culture, the less price matters.
Over the last 10+ years the majority of my domain sales have come from outbound marketing or auctions. Only around 15-20% have come from inbound enquiries. So for me outbound has been essential.
Much the same over the years, 90% plus of sales have been inbound, well over 1,000 names totaling just under 7 figures.Since 2003 over 90% of all of my offers/sales have been from inbound inquiries to my own sales landers. Have I done a few outbound for others and been successful=yes but I prefer patience/inbound leads on my personal domains as they lead to insane profit margins. $84 into 16k, $16 into 7.5k, $8 into 3.5k etc... basically every inbound sale is an $8 domain with a few years renewals turned into x,xxx-xx,xxx.

but again,, how do you deliver the mail to the right hands for large companies.

A few via Sedo,the majority of the sales were in years gone by numbers reducing dramatically over the past 3-4 years. Perhaps more attention to outbound may improve the situation. Trying a few using Undeveloped.com landers will probably combine that with more selective emails to prospects and see what happens.Surprising numbers here. 90% of all sales from inbound? Have you guys never used auction sites or bulk email outbound with a link to a landing page?
I once held a domain name for 3 years before doing any outbound on it. The buyer was really happy it came up for sale. When I told him I had it parked for sale for 3 years he couldn't believe it. He told me he had once checked it and it was a developed site, so never bothered to check again.
This is why I now prefer outbound. The buyers may not even know it is for sale otherwise.

Could you give an example of one of your landers linking to your developed site Jay?I've been profitable and increasing every year since 2003 so I don't sell a ton of domains but I haven't needed to. My last 2 sales produced over 19k in profit and those were both $8 acquisitions and a few years of renewals. If that wasn't the case then I would look to outbound more but in the limited outbound I've done return has been much higher on inbound leads as they are already 100% confirmed buyers if the price can align. Guy walks into a car dealership he's there to buy a car, guy gets an email about a car sale not so much as ya have to convince him why he needs a new car and adjust the price to make him want to buy.
I list all my domains at Sedo, Afternic, Uniregistry etc... but most leads/sales 90%+ come to me direct as that's where I point them all which also leads to sales on my other sites as I link my developed sites from related domain sales landers.
@Dave would you say you are getting good prices with outbound ?
I'm leaning more towards @SpareDomains approach, and I'm beginning to believe there is a lot more potential in hand regs than meets the eye.

I have news...
For four months, all my domains redirected to a for sale landing page, time in which there was not a single offer did not occur, so I decided to move them to the parking with a contact form ( typical body page ) now, in 2 days I have received three contact, two ask for price, and a third one offers directly.
What am i missing here
I have never had any inbound inquiries and ive never had offers via my landing pages.
Not to sure how to explain that one...weird. I would keep going with it and see your results in the next few months.
This may indicate the quality of the domains you're buying. Good quality domain names usually get a few inquires per year at least.
