Some of them have read the email 2-10 times but I haven't gotten any reply yet

You shouldn't 100% trust these numbers... You can receive an additional notification even if your email wasn't opened. I've already found this by using another email address on my phone.

Yeah...i used streak

Yes I see this flaw on streak and contactmonkey. Boomerang is more reliable one. The downside of Boomerang is, there is no mail merge feature...

That was back in 2009...it's 2017 now.
EVERYTHING has changed, actually everything changes every couple months in the domaining world.
Back then a lot more endusers would REPLY and BUY much easier, now you have to HUSTLE for the sale, follow-up etc.

I get a lot of messages in my inbox, people asking me my sales pitch.There's a misconception that the sales template/pitch letter is what makes the sale and that is very wrong!

Here are a few tips starting from the most important:

1.Quality of domains.(if you are trying to sell crap nobody will reply, actually even if you have a decent name you may not get a reply right away....hint you have to hustle more)
2.DO NOT use mass mailing software, YES you need to send emails 1 at a time
3.Your initial pitch should be short and sweet as in 3-4max sentences and should include a PRICE always(the sweet spot is the $150-$700 range)
3.Use email tracking(mailtrack.io, bananatag etc) to pinpoint the "shy yet most likely interested" potential buyers;
4.Follow-up within 2-3 days if you get no replies the first day you sent out the email. You can followup by let's say dropping the price a bit, or get creative. You could simply say: "What can I do to make this work? Let's talk about it."
5.IF you still don't get a reply or sale DONT PANIC!(only 1-5ish domains will sell the first time), wait 20-30days and follow-up again with the people that opened your initial pitch let's say 2,3,4etc times(HINT email tracking! USE it! Don't be a caveman.)
My followups go something like this:
"I was thinking about you when I was going over some older opportunities specifically regarding XXXX.com domain name. What is stopping you? Pricing? or Do you happen to have unanswered questions regarding the domain transfer/purchase process? "
What this does is a couple of things:1.You make it personal and you try to built rapport. 2.You make them feel important, and we all want to feel important right?
SO I get a lot of replies...I like to think that I have it down to a science, and heck after 10 years of domaining I still learn, read, and improve my process every single day.

If you walk away today after you read this post I want you to remember this: sending out countless emails/trying 100s of pitch letters WITHOUT developing a process, following up and hustling will NET you 0 sales in your outbound approach.

So there you have it, that's my outbound approach and that's how I make 3-5 domain name sales every single week!


Kindly DO NOT pm me and ask me 100s of questions as I will simply point you to this post again. I gave you the tools now get to work. :))

Very informative post, thanks a ton.

I got a question, do you follow up end-users who reply or even the ones who opened the email...

How to create a escrow.com buy it now link for the buyer
If you log in, there's a "Buttons" tab, and you can create an "Express Cart" one.
Then they give you some HTML. So you can just copy the link from inside that if you don't need the HTML.

Just find a site that's got nearly the same keywords as your domain and contact your proprietor and and then offer it.

I read somewhere that you should follow up after 1 or 2 days
For those that have tried it, what's your pitch like?

What I mean is to know if the mail you sent to someone is to know if either end up in spam box of the receiver. or trashed.Can mail-tester do that?

Thanks
yeah, I understood your question. No, it can't, it just helps you to make your email clean as possible

AFAIK there is no tool to find out if email went to spam box. Only if they marked it spam and if they opened it.
Even with the open stat tho, There might be 10-20% of people that have their email set to block images, and if so then the tracking pixel won't fire and even if they open you won't see that it was opened.
