discuss Outbound really does...

[DanBingham]

Pay off if you do your research and target those end users correctly. I will be the first to admit that I could do more outbound, and perhaps if you asked me now, this is certainly a focus of mine for next year. Even so, I NEVER send out loads of emails, probably 1-5 emails a day to a selective few.

Last night for example, I sent 5 emails out to a number of end users in a niche area, and it took me no more than 20 minutes. Today, I received a response from one end user offering me $400 for the name. It was a UK name.

It really does go to show that if you have the right name, do your research, and target your end users correctly, things WILL happen. How you communicate in your intro email is also vitally important - but I guess that comes naturally to me.

Perhaps, I should select another name, and do exactly the same tonight!

Would you be kind to elaborate more on this? How much info do you provide in that first mail, do you mention the price, etc?

I congratulate you for that sales mate. We will appreciate , if you don’t mind, apart that sharing your wins, more detailed info about that sales and of course the template you use and subject to email end users. Thank you.
Kind regards.

Yes, I always include a price I would be happy to accept, bearing in mind that they will nearly always counter offer. I price all my names realistically.

Did outbound for one of my domains to 7 end users, 1 of them responded and I didn’t see the first email (stupid spam folder) then they sent another one to which I responded with a price.

They make $xxxM per year so hopefully it will go well.

Good research pays off my friends

That means so don’t sell the domain, you just rent it? And how do you rent a domain? I mean what it the procedure or registar options?
Regards.

Bumping for this. Never had luck with outbound. I have had correspondence but never sealed the deal after interest on several names.

Outbound does take some time to master and get right. Knowing when to close the deal, and how you handle negotiations can be difficult. Trust in particular can be a common obstacle too, and I myself have had a small number of deals fail because of this.

 

[Jasonn]

when all your expectations are is a few hundred bucks, sure outbound is easy.

 

[Iam_leun]

I mostly do outbound too, would you mind sharing your letter template?

 

[Iam_leun]

got a buyer interested in a domain i own, but he just cant state his price he's willing to pay, but he stated he cant pay a grand. How do i go from there

I don’t even consider an offer under $399 and that’s the absolute bare minimum. I could probably unload my entire inventory at $399. in no time.

The problem with outbound is that they’ll often make lowball offers like $399. Most act like they could care less if they buy or not because you came to them. If you’re happy with $400. that’s fine but at $400. I’d let go of only my lower end names.

Outbound can work but you can’t lower your expectations. If the name is worth $3500. don’t let it go cheap just because some guy you outbound acts like he’s deigning to even make you an offer.

On the other hand if it really is worth only $400. then sure - sell it to anyone who will pay.

I use a different approach to outbound. I always have an price expectation for any domains I come to offer through outbound marketing. I always add a BIN, and position the price slightly higher allowing little room for negociation. It usually ends up being a 'meet halfway' scenario but its a win win for both parties and nearly always results in a sale.

Pricing is crucial, and I always ask myself..how much would I be happy with if I sold the name today? Making sure your price is realistic of course!

That's impressive. Do you mind sharing who you send your emails to?

That's where my detailed research comes in. I always send direct to company owners if I can, or failing that one of the company directors. If I position the email correctly, they normally reply back saying that they have forwarded my email. Never generic info@ or sales@ emails as this is unprofessional and just doesn't look good. They nearly always get binned anyway.

Thanks. Do you make use of hunter?

Yes, all the time. It certainly helps.

Good. When you find multiple names on Hunter, who do you target?

 

[DanBingham]

Good. When you find multiple names on Hunter, who do you target?

I then do a separate search for each name (through various sources) to find out role/position within the company. I spend quite a bit of time researching because actually I quite enjoy it.

What price u acquired a domain for that I can easily liquidate at 399
