advice Please Don't Contact Potential Buyers Like This!

[Eric Lyon]

I'm sure others have received messages like this in various places. I blanked out the name and email for privacy, that way (Since they might be a member here) they can anonymously receive constructive criticism without being publicly flogged by anyone.

If there is one thing my toddler taught me at his 3 years of age, it's "Always ask why and keep asking until they tell you or they walk away"! lol... Ya, picture a 3 year old asking why over and over a few times, then look at the screenshot:

They never responded again.

Tip: If you can't give a brief overview of the reason you are contacting someone, wait until you can give a reason, instead of blankly tossing out phrases like "Very Important", "If interest contact me" or even "Please contact me".

Note: We were already in contact, in real time actually.

Opinion: If you are shy and email works better for you, just be honest about it, but also include a reason for me to want to contact you via email.

Assumption: I'm assuming it was domain related since they might be a member and show most interests in domain related events, groups, and memberships. Regardless what the end-message was they wanted to deliver, they lost the opportunity for beating around the bush and not being more outgoing and proactive in their initial contact.

At any rate. I just wanted to point out 1 way NOT to contact people to see if they will buy one of your domain assets.

I wonder if this is like a more interactive start to a nigera letter.

You could potentially have millions waiting for you in some deceased long lost relative's bank account.

Happens all the time. I have loads of dead relatives everywhere.
