If Media Options closes deal 20% commission not 9%.

@NickB Reza just informed me

You can assign Media Options to your entire portfolio, part of your portfolio or per lead basis to broker your lead. They’ll take over from A to Z and make sure to close the sale.

Was just writing a question about this - any word on minimum prices?

It is an intriguing feature to add and probably worth a go, I mean 20% for a seasoned brokerage to handle your affairs seems a decent deal - to me at least

It sounds like they only handle incoming leads. With a portfolio of 9M domains, I'd say this is a win for MediaOptions.

Or both + customers ?

Last question - will DAN put in a contact number option so the brokers can speak to the person?

And DAN - picking up those extra commissions.........must be a 50/50 split on the 20% surely - so DAN get's an extra 1% and more deals get closed = win win

Yeah if you're a newbie and you don't know how to negotiate. But I used to broker domains, so I can handle all inbounds myself.

Yeah it can be a win for all, but I think some customers would prefer to work their own deals and keep that 11%.

Definitely - but it is always nice to have options (no pun intended)

Majority can't negotiate, most who can not as good as Rosener. People pay Afternic 20% on a buy it now for doing no work, someone just clicked a buy now button.

According to something I read this morning they expect it to be in operation by about end of January 2021.

Not a bad combination, but I wonder how MediaOptions will handle the flood of inquiries. If you can can set all your names to be brokered, we could be talking about hundreds of thousands of leads I guess.

 

[dirk]

Impressive. They're teaming up with the best. Bodis, dnwe, IBM, efty and now MediaOptions. They're on a roll.

Agreed media options always dealt in premium names, niche boutique brokerage house .:.how are they going to outsource large portfolios of mediocre domains... call center type outsource ?

Another question why would they take on this headache of millions of pigeon sh*t names? Everyone wants to be in the business model of smaller portfolios of higher quality names, not vice versa.

 

[twiki]

I think this is worth on a per case basis and only from mid xxxx values and up.

Most domain buyers can't negotiate. But for higher prices things are different.

Yeah it's great business.

Although having an experienced broker handling the inbound leads is a valuable service to have, but in my opinion most domainers are in need of someone who can actually help promote their domains to a narrowly targeted group of end users who might see value in those domains and who might find them to be useful and suitable for their business.

If an experienced broker can analyze a portfolio and identify the domains that he or she can easily promote to a specific group of end users for a quick sale then in my opinion that is as important or perhaps even more important than handling the inbound leads alone.

IMO
