Any help to this?

[hafdol]

Hi please I need a solution to this, got some Domain last week and have been sending mails to end users, sent about 30 already and I didn't even get one reply,not even a thank you I don't want. Could it be my mail is going to spam also what should be the subject of the mail am sending, would appreciate if I get a reply. Thanks

it might have something to do with sending them 30 emails. if you email someone, wait at least a couple of weeks before following up.

Who did you email at the company? That is the most important thing.

Why would they thank you for spamming them? You have to offer people something better then they already have, if you are not then, your just wasting their time.

Let's see some examples that you were sending out?

No I didn't email just a particular person 30 times, I mean 30 different people and it was the email I saw on their website in the contact us page.

This is the problem , using the contact page is not the way to sell domains, it will just be deleted most of the time. You need to email a decision maker that knows the value of a domain name, some like the CEO, marketing manager or business development manager.

without knowing the quality of the name you are trying to sell it is very hard to gauge if you will have any success. With a good Geo name it can take more than 30 emails sent to get a reply, let alone a deal.

I would share the name and people can give you honest feedback if you have a chance of selling it

good thread below:

I recommend to use a SMTP service from a third party that deliver emails to Inbox not spam. Address those person my their name in subject. They will notice your email for sure.

Yes, this is the only one proper way.
And even better way: to call them by phone.

Can I use Hunter to get the CEO or marketing manager

Most companies have profile on linkedin where you can see employees of the business then you can contact them directly on linkedin or look for other contact details for the right person. It is useful when looking for the right person to contact as often you would have all the CEO, marketing directors etc etc.

Also, I am new-ish to domains but not to sales and leadgen, 30 is not a huge number so not sure you can put your hands down and say it's not working after 30 mails sent. Should make sure you are targeting the right company and the right person in that company, write honest, not screaming-sales-spam emails/messages. That should help. Also, in any sales as much as I don't like it, when selling to the western market, they like their western names. I myself have issues with people taking me seriously with my Eastern European name so chances are a lot of people are ignoring your mails just because it's signed "Fadlullah". In just about any sales offices I've ran over the years the top sales people had to change their names to something more western sounding.

Also, can try widen your circle of potential buyers by looking for companies that are not directly related to that domain name (so their name/s don't include any of the words in the domain) but can benefit from the sort of traffic a domain like that can get/is getting. For example your Dallasweddingreception dot com - looking for wedding related businesses in Dallas is one thing, you can also look for nation wide or even international businesses who can benefit from some Dallas traffic - total random example TheKnot.com comes up on top for searches for wedding related stuff, they are nation wide so that domain can be of interest to them https://www.theknot.com/more/about-us

Hope that helps

Find out who the decision makers are (CEO, Business development manager etc)

Check the company exec team on their website, Google, Bloomberg, yahoo finance etc and find someone who can make the call on whether to buy the domain from you.

Don't just contact the WHOIS address of a company and think you will always get a reply, there are ways (Google, LinkedIn, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance etc) you can find out who the top execs are and contact the right person

Once you have found that out, find out the company's email format (ie [email protected]) then its easy to work out their email address

It doesn't matter how good your name is or how perfect it is for the company, if you send it to someone who doesn't see the immediate value or doesn't bother forwarding the email to the correct person, it will end up the trash folder and the time and effort you have put in is wasted.

I stop emailing prospects. I never got a reply back. What I do instead is find out who the decision makers are for a company. Find their contact info. This could be challenging. You may even have to call the company and talk very nicely to "Guardian of accounts."
Get as much info including their address, names of those who have authority to purchase for the company and mail each of them a letter.
Give as much info about you including a phone number and best time to call with your time zone and theirs if it is different. This way they don't have to think about whether or not they should contact you. Rinse and repeat until they email you or send a letter back. That could be a "cease" mailing us were not interested type of letter.

Can you please name a few smtp service which are really good, Thank you!

 

[viniproject09]

Also make sure your SMTP server is working fine. or your provider is not stopping your emails due to bilk messaging.

The problem is the quality of the domains. Frankly, they are not good enough.

The first one seems brand infringement and the second one is too general.

In addition, in my experience doing GEO sales, Dallas is not hot for domain sales.

Focus on getting better names.

There are a few other factors to consider, such as pricing, your email address, what country you are writing from, how you are signing your message, etc.
