Approximately what percentage of the 'Price requests' for your domains end in sale?

In terms of Afternic or any other marketplaces.

Just got a doubt as I have recently received two price requests in a short period but it's just in 'Buyer callback' status (seems the person didn't pickup the phone after the initial enquiry).

Whats the reason behind these enquiries and is there a good strategy to make it successful?

 

[DediRock]

Most price requests don’t convert—many are just curious clicks. You can boost chances with quick follow-ups and adding a BIN price to reduce friction.

I did the math on Abdul Basit’s public data (~10k portfolio) and from memory it was around 1% which is similar to what I had using PR lander.

 

[BaileyUK]

I know this goes against the grain, but I actually convert around 90% of inquiries, Sure it's only a few sales a year but they are all good and fair prices to my mind

The best way to increase your price request to sale ratio and be more efficient, is to use a healthy minimum bid in the $1K-$2K range.

Price request is just that, there is no initial offer involved.

Any Bin / Make offer lander data in n comparison to PR lander?

That's great. What strategies do you follow? Is it just setting the right price? What landers did you use for them? Venue?

I roughly doubled sales moving to BIN landers.

But I've got a relatively small portfolio that's always increasing in quality so it's not great data.

Seeing how poorly most leads are handled by GD it's definitely worth testing BIN landers IMO.

I've never had a fixed strategy and tend to try different approaches. Things have become much easier for me since reducing my total domains from a peak of 2000 domains 10 to 15 years ago, to between 200 to 300 these days. Virtually all my domains are of the very short brandable appeal. All .com or .co.uk

I'm happy to spend several days searching for a best fit for a specific market, then expect to hold them for ten years or more. I now take a analysing approach to parking stats and even delete sales landers, thereby just featuring the homepage of the registration service. It all depends on how active I want to be in bringing in funds. My bread and butter sales are either from Sedo landers or broker enquiries. If I'm getting an unusual number of hits on a domain then quite often I'll pull it off any sales platform but keep it clear that the domain is unused.

I've realised there is nothing to be gained by featuring any type of sales text or promotion. either the buyer sees what I see or they don't, there's no point in adding to the domain as is. Virtually all my sales are in the 3 to 4k range. The coms move the .co.uk's are very slow and I'm generally happy to sell them at 1k or less.

I consider myself a good negotiator with a lot of patience, I'm never pushed to complete a sale and I've had quite a few sales that can take a year or two before the buyer commits. I consider my background is Sales and Marketing to be my biggest asset

Obviously I was speaking in general terms.

For example, when an Afternic broker gets an offer on one of my Make Offer landers, the response is always "Price request for domain.com", where I need to send them a Buy Price.

Now if you and others had properly capitalized it as Price Request (like I did with Make Offer), rather than colloquially as "price request", then I would have known what you had intended to convey.

What I responded to in my comment (I skimmed by your comment as usual), and I can find more of your overly-anal mind requires it:

Most price requests don’t convert

And here's the link to my response if you are still confused as to the original comment I responded to, as you clearly are:

I'm done here, so have arguing with yourself over semantics.

No way this is at AFTERNIC not with their low quality Crappy system ,if outbound I do believe it.
I’ve been selling domains for years, and I can tell you—outbound sales is a numbers game. It’s not about waiting for buyers to come to you. It’s about reaching out, making connections, and closing deals.


When I make calls, I approach them like I’m a social worker—I’m here to help, not to push. I don’t even mention price unless they ask. That mindset builds trust and keeps the conversation genuine.


One thing that really helps is knowing if the company already owns other domains. If they do, they’re usually more open to grabbing another one that fits. There’s a tool I use for this—check out:
analyzeid .com
It shows you if a company owns multiple domains or has a web presence tied to other names. Super helpful when you’re planning your pitch.


Bottom line: this is all about building real relationships and offering value. With the right mindset and a few smart tools, outbound can absolutely work.

Hi

the actual domains in question, always make the difference for each individual seller.

as one seller could be at 90%, and another could be at 10%,
but the ROI that each earns per sale could be vastly different.

ie: i get more incoming price requests via email than on afternic, but if those seeking a price can't pay the amount i'm asking for the name, then the % will be low.
on sedo, it's different because you either get an offer to negotiate from or a BIN sale.

imo...

1-2 %

I've become aware that the closer to $5,000 or thereabouts asking price, the much more likely the potential buyer is to reach out to a broker service as first step, First, the buyer doesn't have access to the whois and secondly they are strongly of the opinion that they can achieve at least a !0% reduction, (possibly much more, needed to offset the commission payment switching to the buyer ) So a even an additional $500 discount covers the $100 broker service fees.

Brokers are much more willing to use the 'No commission charge to you' angle to push for large discounts, thesedays. The other advantage being a Broker does have a real-world domain view of your asking price, Far far better to be talking to a real person these days.

It's depend on your asking price, last month i received 6 inquiries which all are fail because i asked high prices and i can convert atleast into two sales if my asking price comes into buyer budget.
