[ISD Domains]

Had an inquiry a couple of days ago. Are these new detailed descriptions? I'm used to seeing "email sent to buyer" or "email received from buyer" - are the messages some sort of Chat interface (instead of email)?

The broker sent a message
The buyer sent a message

Here is an explanation from a broker:

“The broker sent a message" is me directly reaching out to the buyer through their GoDaddy account where the offer was submitted. “email sent to buyer” is me sending them an email. I alternate between the two incase they are not seeing one or the other. If they had a phone number, I would call as well but they did not provide one.

This was the case with an offer received from Custom Lander.

Do these Afternic brokers ever close a sale? I wonder what they are saying in the emails.

Do these Afternic brokers ever close a sale? I wonder what they are saying in the emails.

Every month they pick up some domains from our portfolio and send the copy paste emails that endup stalled to create a show infornt of afternic head of sales department, ''That we are doing our job with evidences'' .
So when sales manager evaluating this brokers het get image that our boys are good and doing their best .
This scenarios not happing only in afternic, its a common practice/games played by some companies staff to survive at work and not lose job .
