Is outbound dead?

Recently 0 response on outbound , is it over exploited ? And is it dead?

No I don't think so, It is just about sending to more buyers. The thing is buyers need education to actually get them interested.

I write as the resident outbound specialist at Starfire Holdings.

And that doesn't make me know everything about outbound. By no means; I do not. But I do have a high open rate and high response rate from all companies big and small; from Google and Microsoft to the lil mom and pop companies.

I'll tell you just three of the basic keys to outbound:

- Have a premium domain name, or at least one that the company you're contacting would definitely have an interest in (even if they are using the .net or .org, and you have the .com). If your domain is of no benefit to them; they won't ever respond. And btw, whenever they do, if your domain is not premium please don't quote a premium price....no matter the company. Just because someone at Google responded, doesn't mean that your domain is suddenly worth $1M, when it's really a $10 domain name. They are not stupid.

- Contact the right person. Truth is if you contact the customer service rep, or even the whois email address; a lot of times the people you are contacting have absolutely no power when it comes to making a decision about the domain name. So that does you no good at all; sometimes they forward the email to the right decision maker, most times they do not. Also, be aware that the CEO is not always the best person to contact either. Many times he either has an assistant sift through his emails, he might be too busy to check all emails, or he does not know anything about the domains the company owns or about buying/selling them. You've gotta figure out the right person. And that comes by trial and error and by reasoning.

- Follow up, but not to many times. After about 2 rounds of follow ups, it's okay to move on to another person within a company, or just move on to another company all together.

Just my 2 cents.

Happy Outbounding (great domains only)!
