I'm going to start sending some emails to potential end users that might be interested in buying my domain, but I'm afraid that my emails will be marked as spam.

Is there any way to not make my email marked as spam? What can I do to avoid this?

^Do you actually only put 'Shoe Doctor' for title subject? Have you tried, say, "Shoe doctor name on sale at reputable marketplace", or along that line.

Like I said originally

THE BEST WAY TO SELL A DOMAIN

IS DIRECT CONTACT WITH END USERS

I prefer targeted TM with my reps and they use what I told OP to use

SG which you can get for free 3 day trial

unsolicited email is SPAM and no one gets 75% open rates

but IF you think you do, great

you want to sell a premium domain you go use SG for free for 3 days and learn how to QUALIFY the owners by

Industry
Employees size
Sales Volume
Biz credit rating
CEO/Owners only

That gets anyone qualified targeted END USERS that can buy a domain at an EU price

Unsolicited email is SPAM you do it you get caught eventually

I see that subject line in so many spam eMails, someone must have advised that somewhere; it's horrible. I would not go that route because it sounds spammy, and the recipient would know what the message is about right then and there.

If I have done my lead research right, the intended recipient has an interest in the name "Shoe Doctor"; it is what they call their business or what they refer to themselves as. So when they see that, it's enough to open the eMail.

With all sales you want to walk someone through a 'process'. If your lead deletes the email upon reading the subject, then they don't get to go through your process at all and miss your trigger words to motivate the sale.

In my opinion using the term "reputable marketplace" is like when someone tells you, "look I'm being honest here." It brings into thought that there are dishonest marketplaces, and it's not even a topic that needs to be discussed during the sale.

What To Include In an eMail:
1. Who you are
2. the domain
3. considering it's sale
4. One brief selling point
5. create a light sense of urgency
6. let's talk about it.

That's it. However you would like to word it is up to you, but that's all that should be in any message, and should take no more than 20 - 30 seconds to read.

^I did read on the longer thread (contacting endusers) that some directly put their intent on subject line (or half the idea what email's about) but yours is a useful perspective. I haven't contacted endusers and looks like I will have to try different approaches.

well my open rate is 75%, I'm not sending bulk UCE to some eMail list I'm sending a b2b email contacting very qualified points of contact.

If I eMail 4 people about a specific domain, 3 will definitely open if not all of them - and I make sure that those are the 4 best people to contact about the domain.

You don't need Sales Genie for anything, if you cant qualify a business via Google or Bing then they aren't worth your time; regardless of employee size or sales volume. If a business isn't online, then it's highly likely they aren't even going to understand a domain acquisition for the price you are looking for.

If you don't mind waiting for a sale then you can just kick your feet up and someone might approach to you eventually, but if you want to keep sales coming in you must start contacting potential end users.

Most of my sales have been through outreach. It will only benefit you.

that's the only thing you said that is valid

the rest is PUSHING SPAM through whois

learn to use GD and you will find every call you make is to a qualified owner that can give you more than some low end tech guy on a whois

but then I doubt you have any industry keywords

Do you also use free email like gmail for your outbound mails?

You're the only one talking about whois eMail broski - the only one.

All social marketers are so behind the times... please tell us more about Twitter and how you are using it to not convert sales.

You've never sold a business.

No the rest of us are too. You may have missed it because you were to busy telling us how great you are. Frankly selling domains is not the same as selling shoes. Many of my customers fall into two groups, both very easily reached through simple social media. Neither are overly sophisticated, so it works fine. As for Twitter, I probably sell a domain every 2 to 3 weeks where the lead came directly from Twitter. I'm not sure what part of Twitter you didn't understand, but I'll take the time and explain it all.

Twitter Strategy:

I send out a Tweet announcing a new name, or at least a name I haven't tweeted about recently if its an old name. I Tweet exactly 6 times a day on autopilot, and occasionally throw another in manually. Now here is where it gets tricky. The reader sees the domain and says to themselves, "damm that's a good name, it's exactly what i have been looking for". Then he replies back to me and the negotiation starts.

Hopefully you followed that, its pretty obscure and dry. Also, to be clear I am NOT the worlds best at anything related to the Internet. In fact how I have managed to be successful is a mystery compared to your knowledge. Anyway, that's how I use Social Media to sell domains. As with everything I post, feel free to use it exactly as I do, or change it up to match your own goals and strengths.

I'm here to help you.

Folks, let's get this thread back on topic. It's about how to do email outreach. Not how to rank something on Twitter..
It's fine to disagree, but please do so respectfully. Disparaging remarks and personal attacks are not OK.

Thank you!

The question that arises to me here is what is your email list? Is it a random one? Or you have a list of people that might be really interested in buying a domain? If you will send your message to random people - there are many chances that you will be marked as a spammer, but if the message will seem related for those people - then you might get succeed.

Hello, does the number of followers one have determine the/your success of selling domains via twitter?

Of course, but whats more important is how many eyes get on each name. So retweets and favorites are very important.

I find that tracking in Streak is not very accurate. The view count increases every time I open the mail to monitor the tracking. This could be the reason why some of us think we have extremely high open rate. I'll only consider a mail as read when the tracking showed that it's read from a different location as mine.

Nice tips mate.

One thing. What are your key sources of finding, researching, and shortlisting potential buyers?

By sources, I mean other than Google, Bing, Zoominfo of course; if any.

Thanks,

Join salesgenie.com

they give you 3 day trials liberally

then you put in industry keyword and how many employees size and sales and credit rating and only owner or ceo names

bingo

you have the most targeted list of phone numbers and owner names there is

after 3 days it's 150 bucks a month and if you have good names it's worth 150 a month since you can get a lot from major end users

but then again 99.9% of domains aren't worth anything to potential end users

the site salesgenie.com is not accessible right now

nope, you are missing it. That email is track and therefore you get notification when you or the receiver open it.
