advice Who do you contact?- Outbound sales

[uglydork]

I have been selling my decent names almost exclusivity using outbound for a couple of years. maybe I am doing it wrong but sometimes it takes forever to get to the decision maker. I usually target the Marketing Directors and Managers. I am dealing with a HUGE medical device manufacturer now and after 2 months I am still not getting to the right person.

Who do you target and why?

I do target usually ceo founders and directors by sponsor ads on linkedin text ad and sold two domains there ...spent on ads 75 usd total ....
Sponsored mails are expensive as if they reply or not we still charged by linkedin
In text ad it works like whenever ur targetted ceo will come to linkedin they will see domain on top thats marketing

I've been looking into ads but not linkedin. Thanks for the idea. I have a couple of my own ideas that I want to test.

Can you answer me how much you bought and sold the two domains for, so that I can evaluate my pricing model?

Hi.
well this method is risky in linkedin as if you have done wrong targetting you can lose money alot.
i will pm you how to do it safe and sound.
my two sales total amount was 4750 USD
Acquisition cost was 79 USD total
Holding for both approx 2-3 months

I use Hunter.io, do a Google search for domain name plus CEO email address. I also use LinkedIn to find the CEO. Once I find who the CEO is then I can sent the email to them or preferably the marketing manager/director. I used to not try to take so much time trying to find the decision maker but I found out that was a bad idea and it hurt my sales. Now, some GEO domains I market arent big enough to have CEO's so I just try to find the owner. I would be interested to know your strategy in pm @Riz M.

actually finding email is headache now a days plus too many spam filters are working so we are limited on that option so i do paid ads and target endusers like whenever they wll login to linkedin they will see our ad on top
suppose if i am selling healthanalysis.com then i have targetted all health institutes and hospitals owners who have atleadt 500+ employees so whenever they will come to linkedin they see my ad on top saying 20 years old domain HealthAnalysis.com for sale Price 7999 USD
now why i mentioned here price because if i dont show then some users click just to know price and we have to pay for that click if they see price name and age everything on ad they usually dont click but they keep seeing the ad ..and domain name installed in brain of owners and now suppose if some health company owner dont want any domain like this but maybe his friend is interested to find he can tell them so this is what is marketing in my point of view...

Holy sh*t, how is it that cheap??? Your CPM is very low. I'm doing it wrong then. I'm doing some custom, good targeting but it's much more expensive.

And 8 sales in 2 months is great if they were $xxxx. You really know your stuff.

my 8 sales amount total is approx 15k usd

 

[EmpireNames.com]

No, I think it's a great method, that's why I'm asking. I wish to know how much you spent, on average, to get how much. It would give me an idea to see how profitable this is.

I also wish to know how much you paid for those names. I'm asking because you seem to know what you are doing.

I'm experimenting with ads on a different platform, we will see how that goes.

88 domains marketing 522 usd spent in total 18 million impressions with approx 300 clicks
What is good here???in 500 usd i marketed my domains to all ceos founders endusers and 18 million times my domains saw by them
Thats what i call marketing

Business development manager
Marketing manager/director
CEO / CTO
General Counsel (depending how big they are)

Check their website, bloomberg, yahoo finance

Google "company name executive team", often easy to locate them, work out their email from other people who work there

 

[gilescoley]

It easy to find the persons email, for example, googling "cisco email format"

@Riz M. Sir I have a question related with outbound. Like I have found the linkedin profile of my targets but how to send them a message there as I am not in their connected list? Also I can't see their email.
Thanks

If you have tried to add linkedin alot of contacts without knowing them then the person you are adding they can report you and linkedin take it very seriously and they restrict you to add them and then u must have email of the person to add them in your linkedin list.if you dont have email of that person you cant add so most prolly you are already in restricted zone and linkedin never remove this limitation as soon they caught you are adding contacts without knowing them.
if you are not in restricted zone then just add slowww ... like find extreme targetted enduser and send them request and mention in message the purpose of adding but still have high chances of report so i dont add anyone in my linkedin as its risky ..
i do marketing through paid ads so no restrictions on paid ads

 

[EmpireNames.com]

This is today ad results 8 clicks with 35k impressions so here its not important to have sale same day but shoutout is happening when i m sleeping my domains are going to different ceos one more thing saturday and sunday you will see big drop in impressions if u have on working day 50k ipressionns on sat and sun max will be 5k impression obviously without clicks

Rizwan has a lot of unique ways to generate leads and sales. LinkedIn, Twitter, the list goes on... Maybe he could write a book in his free time or so on his unique ways to close deals. Plus he also use automation techniques, the cherry on the cake.

but dont do that straight without reading alot about this else you can lose alot of money for junk clicks..like this happened to me when i targetted broad audience for brightserver.com bunch of users clicked on ad wthout any reason as my targetting was not only owner who have 500+ employees and then i saw stats all clicks came from owners who has 1 or 5 employees so then i started filter and target only big company owners as they dnt click if they are not interested

Finding emails is easy as pie! I have been using the below in my various sales in other sectors - it gives you email and direct contact numbers (I have no affiliation with them) If your willing to put your hand in your pocket

ok thank you for the clarification, I rarely get a email request, I will do the test, and I am confident you are right with your experience, mine is limited for sure. your super helpful, I actually did not use a linkedin helper though, I will tell you so you can have a laugh but I have couple girlfriends, and were building 3 profiles in 3 broad sectors literally hitting the buttons individually via phone app, I found a way to hit about 100-200 per minute, and due to a duplicate annoyance, i figure it gets 20-30% added connections. lots of hours, the guy with 25,000 received multiple xxxx sales via linkedin., I dont doubt your method may be the best way, but just wanted anyone new to know what else is being done to give them a open mind.

the way you have done ...i have done it through linkedhelper but my id then went restricted and started asking email on every new add contact and then i did same like you providing random emails but then what happened i notice no body is accepting my request then i tried it on myself and came to know that now invitations are not going through then i emailed apologize to linkedin and they rejected and from that id was spending on paid ads monthly 2000-3000 usd for my himalayan salt business still they didnt accepted my apologize then i made new id and then i never did mass contact adding
so i am running now only linkedin ads , twitter paid ads, using famous pinterest boards with beautiful pins.

Very interesting thread, thank you for posting Interesting information about LinkedIn campaigns, never thought about it.

I have now 9600 connections at Linkedin, and when I post anything there (for free), the post usually gets from 500-5000 views. And I do not need to pay anything. So it is also important to build the network, really connect with people, and have solid and transparent profile there - then people are usually connecting quickly, particularly when you introduce yourself and write them in message why you are connecting them.

But those compaigns are very good info as well, for few dollars it is even bigger audience once can reach it seems.

 

[Brands.International]

Very useful thread - I have just today started my first paid campaign at LinkedIn ... it took me around 1 hour to learn how to setup everything, so it is not that difficult it seems.

Very curious what results it will bring to me, I am ready to test it for a week or two.

Thanks @Riz M.

Thanks @Riz M.

if you are using cpc please set 2 usd per click and target specific industry with only ceo and founders with 500+ employees in this way you will not hve junk clicks...
still if you are getting useless clicks dont hesitate to pm me
Thanks

 

[Scotty205]

I also think this is a solid method. I have almost 2,000 connections. I have a lot of them in the real estate industry and I do have some real estate domains. So, connect with people that would be interested in any of the domains you are buying. I will be working on doing that. I love LinkedIn and think it can be a great marketing tool. 8 sales in 2 months is just killing it, so great job!

Great absorption, please update us all on your observations after it completes

now that we see offer details from our marketplace across tens of thousands of names we noticed that for smaller companies its the CEO /owner contacting us for the sale...larger companies could be marketing or IT dept...I guess the idea may originate in marketing but they still go to the IT guy to try and buy the name.

one thing you cant predict is we see future biz ideas names making offers. so unless you work at the company you could never know what direction they are moving in. example the marketing dept just named their app x so they want x app. com

but whats even better is if the domain they want has a crazy high offer price, that is way out of their budget and you have thousands or tens of thousands of names to offer them, you can also suggest a ton of other options once they reject the counter....nothing better than the warm glen gary leads...

I use clearbit and a new one to me - snov.io

Twitter is great for marketing as cpc is very low there and they have great data but for usa targetting twitter is expensive ...for european region twitter is a darling

Sorry!!. new to linkedin & was unaware that there is something like account upgradation. Now got it...Thank you!!

Upgrading and paid ads are totally different..
sales navigator is good for b2b marketing not for domain sales.

Before I say this, I will clarify I am new to domaining this year, and Riz is obviously very experienced and extremely kind to be so helpful. But two small notes so all have a varied concept of what has been done by myself and others on LinkedIn is we have built between 10000 and 30000 connections on profiles of all people we dont know and never had any issues. This and when a pop up for email before connection happens you only have to enter your email. I assume as that person collects emails. It's a networking site and adding like an insane mad man and not even messaging those people in my opinion will not do any harm and just try to keep to UK and north America for .com and the sectors your into with domains. This will than broaden your 1st 2nd & 3rd connections huge and on top of Riz's awesome ad strategy which I am going to use now. THANK YOU RIZ , you will also have a broad network of tens of thousands for free advertising via posts and your profile banner. Good luck all.
