discuss Professional Outbound

[Windoms]

Someone could make a website where a domain owner can post his domains, then a broker or outbound artist posts a request on one domain, owner accepts, broker with active request at time of sale receives a commission.
This can be done on established platforms.

For example if it sells privately through Afternic fast transfer, broker won't know. So Afternic would be a good platform to offer that type of service because you'd be able to post a request on any domain with Fast Transfer active and receive your commission from Afternic at time of sale.
If domain sells elsewhere like on Sedo, broker doesn't get a commission.
Domain DNS has to point to Afternic. Broker with active request receives an alert if domain points elsewhere. All can be stated in Terms.
From my non-technical knowledge point of view, all this seems easy to implement.
I think that would be interesting @Joe Styler

@Undeveloped could also make this, broker posts a request on a domain on Undeveloped, owner accepts, owner and broker share the listing, both see the messages, broker handles communication and receives commission at time of sale. If domain points elsewhere, broker receives an alert.
If it sells on Sedo, no commission. Terms can state that domain has to be removed from Afternic DLS and Sedo MLS, for example.

The Undeveloped model can also be applied to registrars. @Rob Monster

I thought about it after ready these posts below from @Ali , basically outbound for professionals.
So no, if you own a nice domain, it doesn't necessarily have to be a hoard of brand new inexperienced spammers disgracing your domain as you publicly own it. You can view requests and select the broker you want.

For example I have

Its on Afternic Fast Transfer $5,500.
20% afternic commission, $1,100.
15% to broker with active request. $825.
I get 65%, it's low, but it's my choice since I'm the owner.

Undeveloped.
9% Undeveloped commission, $495.
15% broker commission $825.
I get 76%, it's low, but etc..

I think that would be a great idea.

If you have a premium domain and there's a way to feature your domain on the platform, and select among the the top brokers (collaborators ) , some people won't be going to brokerage firms anymore.

The collaborators (top collaborators), they can also communicate and make use of each others knowledge.
Collaboration is cool.

 

[Tatiana Bonneau]

It sure is but then what is the difference between the collaborators and brokers? Seems like it is just the level of experience so as soon as they get good at what they don you fall into the same thing - why bother selling $5k domains if it takes the same effort to sell $150k? So you will basically facilitate some service for beginners in the industry which is cool as they get to practice and the domain owners get some chance at selling their domains (not counting the possible negative outcomes though, spamming, bad reputation etc) but don't know if it warrants a full on platform to do it.

Creating a feature out of your proposal at Undeveloped will be a bit hard since the outreach methods can't be offered on scale legally due to anti-spam and privacy regulations just to name two

Bingo! Outbound hell, here it comes. A very dangerous road to travel. There are enough outbound cowboys as it is.

 

[Windoms]

Smart barriers to entry can manage all the issues regarding quality of outreach.
And 15% commission limit is nonsense on a collaborative platform.
It's my right to give 50% to someone who is able to explain why he/she can sell my domain instantly.
Especially when I know I paid $xxx.
In case someone ever decides to go ahead with this.

Only lower-tier and self-proclaimed brokers would work for lower priced domains and they could do irreversible damage to marketplaces--and to the domain owner.

Give me a top one word domain and I'll sell it for a 2% fee, assuming price is reasonable...a cheesy domain cannot even be given away. Top names sell themselves is the idea.

Look at this perfect example.
@uglydork has pacemakers.com, he's been trying to sell it.
Maybe someone, somewhere, because of his connections or environment, has a chance of selling it.
.

Look for companies making pacemakers and for lawyers suing them. But companies don't advertise to "ask your doctor for x pacemaker," so on top of my head, law firms would be best. Maybe write 2-3 articles about pacemakers and then have a live feed of lawsuits. And email lawfirms and their web managers.

These things you are mentioning are happening in all industries, no need to be scared/fearful.
Seller is responsible for due diligence before working with someone.
Broker is only hurting his reviews/reputation if he misbehaves.
Owner-broker can negotiate the commission, whatever it is. 2%, 50%, they decide.

This is not about being famous or low-tier broker working with random names. It's about adding features.
Many are acquiring xxx xxxx$ domains and go about selling them.
Those can certainly benefit from a list of readily available domains.

Marketplace is providing a service, they have their TOS, vast majority of users are happy and benefiting, if someone wants to misbehave, let it be. Happens everywhere, all the time, no need to be fearful.

what I'm saying is that no serious, existing marketplace is going to do that, because of what I and others said. Nothing is broken. Good names attract brokers. Post a "broker wanted" here or fiverr or FB for lower tiers.
