Need your opinion - Inbound inquiry from fortune 500 company

[Joshh71390]

Hello, so I got an email from Neilson Group today - Inquiring about one of my keyword domains. I mean they basicly control anything you watch on tv, and this seems like a domain which will be a category killer.

Only issue was I was in class and asked for an offer. The man responded a few times and then but a very low xxx range. Do I take the money and run, or do I send somthing crazy back? They made i think 6billion profit last year, am I going to lose the sale if I try to counter?

Or maybe I should speak to a broker?

What do you guys think?

In my humble opinions, if the name is highly related to Neilson and they are the only potential end user I would suggest you accept the offer and run. However, if you think the name can attract some other end users besides Neilson, you should atleast counter with mid xxx.

 

[Joshh71390]

Well it is not related to neilson it's related to live stream events.

 

[Joshh71390]

I don't want to be the fool that misses out on somthing they are willing to spend a lot more on. However I don't want to be greedy and lose it. Who knew this could get so stressful

low xxxx firm.

 

[Jman92]

if its live stream related then I would definitely counter with a high xxx or low xxxx.

Hard question to answer without knowing the domain. If it can be used by someone other than them then shoot back a price you're wanting.

If it has to do with "dance" then do not let it go cheap.

"Very low xxx", cheap multi-billion dollar corporation. As others said, not knowing the domain makes it hard to give you advice, but very low xxx could be even $100. Not good... If you do not need $100 or $200, of course you should not take it. Even if the domain is not premium, but barely decent, a mid $X,XXX is what I would ask for or even higher in this case.

I would remain polite and professional at all times and my counter offer would always leave room for negotiations.

P.S. - Are you sure it is from Nielsen? Is it coming from an official email address? Just asking...

 

[Joshh71390]

Offer through email but it has neilson in his title, but you would have to be crazy to put a billion dollar Corp as your job title I don't see how it would possibly help him.

But, again, is the email an official email address, as [email protected] (just and example and not a specific email address)?

The title means nothing. I receive emails every week from guys telling me they are CEOs and they are not...

The only reason they would want a domain is to have a survey on it. If you have Billions in your head you wont get a sale. They do two things. Record what people watch, and record what they buy. They dont need a domain for traffic, they make their own traffic. Good luck

I unable to understand the purpose this kind of threads on Namepros and experts who are giving their valuable advice.

How can you share advice without even knowing the domain name.

 

[RJ]

$xxx offer? That's just a feeler to get things started. You need to counter back.

$10,000

 

[hugegrowth]

Ask $25,000 and see what happens. Might as well go for it.

 

[forge]

How many words is it? Is it generic? I think that's a starting point for determining worth.

 

[Joshh71390]

I sent back 2k well see if they respond, or if they are even real, because as someone pointed out and I checked its a gmail not their company email. I really hope not =/...

 

[forge]

Majority of inbound inquiries use gmail.

At least it's very common.

 

[Joshh71390]

weve got the fingers crossed!

 

[namerav]

Provide them BIN sale link.

 

[deez007]

Without knowing that the domain name is it's a difficult one to call....

Only tip I could provide is that when dealing with an end user and not a domainer, Estibot can help you IF it pulls up a decent estimate price. Obviously when selling to another domainer Estibot prices won't make a difference but to an end user you could use it as a way to attract a better offer from them.

Okay so i guess to clear it up he said somthing along the lines of it was his work computer and he purchased / he started 200 he went 250 and I just took it / but lets just hope i dont see it come across the weekly sales reports..

 

[martinrussell]

EDM?

So you accepted the low offer?

If you invest in the right domains you never should be afraid in losing a deal IMHO.
