Found a way to target domain buyer in USA for non US

[steveteva]

I've been selling domain names since 2005 and most of my biggest sales ($5000, $2000....) were made by phone for the first contact from US end users not by email, also I'm out of USA

The problem for a U.S end user (buyer) is that he have to call a INTL number if you were outside of U.S when checked the WHOIS info.

To solve this, all you have to do is to subscribe to Toll free forwarding number services you can find on Google for a small monthly fee. Add this to your Whois phone number and end users will call you more easiely than if it was a INTL number.
This can be applied to dot asia too, you can have a china number even if you live in Australia... but of course the main problem will be the language, as I don't speak chinese I won't do it but for some people who do, it's fine.

I would be interested to hear what type of people or business you sold domain names to.

I have thought about calling some people up, I have good targetted names, but I am hesitant to do so.

What about the voice clarity & quailty ? Any distortion !

You can buy a US or UK number from Skype or Yahoo and use Skype or Yahoo messenger to talk.

No Nothing that is noticeable. But well don't know if in your country the phone lines are high quality. If you have used crystal clear phone lines in past then you might feel something missing.

The cheapest callforwarding/voicemail I found was Yahoo! Phone at $29.90/yr including a free US/UK/French phone number. You can answer calls if your logged into your Yahoo! Messenger account, or they go to voicemail if you are not logged in.

Ok. I found this FREE voicemail service with a FREE number... http://www.ringcentral.com/home/freevoicemail.asp
Not all the areas were free. One which was, was areacode 305 (Miami).

Agreed! Calling em can be effective - if you're up for it.

I sold a hyphen .org last Friday for $950 on a name less than
2 hours old. Called the "right" company up, asked for sales
and bam!

Skype-In gives you a normal US based phone number is whatever area you choose. I've used it to talk to people in India and the quality is pretty good!

Normally i contact via email, but for continue negotiation i use a Yahoo massanger for deal transaction.
