Hi Pros,

I own a 7 letter domain name. While I was researching potential prospects for the name, I came across an Austria company that looks like a potential suitor. I reached out to the company social media manager but didn't get a reply ( she read it ). They're the first suitor I had reached out to.

About the domain:

The domain I own is 7L.com (e.g Bxxxxxx.com) and the company main website 7L + the industry.com ( Bxxxxxx-automotive.com ) also, the company owns two other extensions of my own domain .de and .at of which one redirects to the main company website and the other is under construction.

From what I can see, there seems to be a potential market for the company outside Europe. Also, the company doesn't have consistency with their brand name. They use automotive, cars and other related words interchangeably in their marketing.


My questions:

1. Do you think I should send them another email.
2. Does it mean they don't have a use for the domain?
3. Should I just keep the domain for some time and wait till they contact me?

I look forward to learning from you all.

Thanks

Sure no problem.

Thanks, I'll do that.

Social media employees are as about as uninvolved as human resources...avoid them at all costs.

You have to ask yourself who makes the executive decisions and directs the overall vision of the company?

The executive suite. Everyone else just does what they're told and tries not to overstep their decision-making authority.

Think about it...if I'm stuck in a cubicle all day, worried about deadlines and rumors of my department being outsourced overseas...do I care about some random email that would involve research and going to the boss who may shoot the idea down? Answer is probably not.

Remember...executives control vision...your domain is part of that.

Have an upright business posture...you have a name (presumably) that would solidify their online presence--which is crucial for doing business.

Some social media guy or gal is just posting click-bait drivel on Twitter and Instagram, worried about when their lunch break is so they can go pick up a pumpkin-spiced latte'. These are not business people.

If I owned a company that is serious about establishing an online presence, I WANT that .com!

Business people understand that you have to pay to do business--so don't be timid. They pay lawyers, brokers, insurance agents...stupid amounts of money. You're $2,000 or whatever is hardly going to break the bank.

The boss probably just paid that much to service his BMW at the dealer. Then he/she writes it off as a business expense.

Product. Price. Place. Promotion. You got one shot...do it right.

I thought of that too. The company registered the .de and .at of my 7L.com domain but had to get another of the 7L + hyphen + automotive.com since they could'nt acquire the dot com domain.


I appreciate your feedback. This is really valuable, I'll keep this in mind from now on.

The best thing to do is to just list the name for sale and wait. It will market itself.

Brings up Trusting the universe for me vs. fear. AND, too, I want to stay active with things like check my listings to make sure everything is correct etc etc... Thank you Dande (thank you for reminding me of dandy)
