Didn't want to talk but i had to.
Aside one dictionary word, any name u see was either combination of 2 or more dict words or playing on the words.
I see no fault in following the track, knowing what sells, tapping on sold names and creating your own name, if that's not creativity, what is?
So because someone sold on SH or BB, we shouldn't go and "rearrange" or own SH or BB?
It just like saying if someone sold Promo/king i shouldnt look into that sale and come up with Promio/king. Or if some one sold Geo+Taxi we shouldn't use another Geo? That is what is called creativity FYI.

To those that have been getting negative comments here, don't let that discourage you especially if u are yet to make a sale.
Do what works for you, just that read read and read. my first ever sold name got "laughing reviews" here the day registered it , but i didn't let that hinder me.
And i can remember when one of the Ogas here was saying we should go to SH and see New arrivals, that will give u clue on to what is selling. I'll suggest the same too, go there, look at the names, "play on them" and come up with your own name.

Be creative, tap on names, words, blend them, play on them and more sales to us all.

Peace.

Okay my able Oga but can you kindly give me the dan number. I don't exactly know which one it will be on their website. I really need it and will be ever grateful. Thanks Ikhalifah.

Gurus in the noble house. how do I respond to this would be buyer. I actually have no foreign phone number to give him and I dare not risk my naija number with. Here is what they asked me "May I have your number. Plus I would need my web guy to check out these numbers.

Thanks,

Samantha".

Able gurus kindly advice me. Thank You.

Someone here once gave them Dan.com number and he came back wit a sales report. U can do that MAYBE (if u are using Dan)

Oga's, I need advice Abeg.
Are these names too overpriced? Are they good names?

$507 Senior // Care// Ottawa //com ...about 30 outbound messages sent. Ottawa/senior/care/com is also developed. I mailed them but I got no response.

$499 Newark// Martial// Arts //com About 50 outbound messages sent.
Newark is a city in the US also a city/location in UK. Almost all USCity+MartialArts are registered and developed.

$499 ($300 now) Miami // luxury // Tours //com ...about 50 outbound messages sent.
Miami is one of the top 10 most toured cities in the world.


After doing outbound for those names I get about %10 response. Out of that 10%, I get many 'not interested' response.
Some ask for the price and when I give them, they don't reply again.

Are these names good and is it worth the price I set?

I'll advice u reduce price to $250-350 range.
And honestly 30-40 user emails is too low. Try 60-100+ if possible

jidowu84:
Why has SH refused all my 16 names?

rejected 10 of my names b4 accepting one.
It's quite frustrating, but they know better i guess.
Though nonetheless i plan to register over half of the names myself and see wat happens. I have quite a huge hope on some of the names

Branduche:
stay Around that price u quoted yourself
If u want to sell much much higher, u will need to hold the domainmuch much longer

I'm not a GURU.
@gentlewind i go with this say.

Favour196:
Yes na is painful

You know say our own na make we just sell sell sell

Anybody that sell go jump dey happy, but what about the buyer that coughed out that money no one cares agian after sell.

And most times the might really need it, that was why paid money for it...

Me I just tire

Almost all the Domain sale we report here, just cave 2 mins and check if they buyer have received it. You will notice what am telling you..

Even the ones that one sold since 5-6 months

If you where to be the buyer how will you feel na?

Me I have landed to sedo or Afternic
Abeg if you pay me get what you paid for

Exactly. DAN need to buckle up honestly.
Like u said, as we are in need of the money, likewise buyer is in need of domain, if not he wouldn't have coughed out the money.
Also i believe it will give us the sellers more satisfaction knowing that wat we sold is being put into something useful. It will give us more zeal to take business serious

Favour196:
Dan dey fall hands o
That is why most customers prefer direct services

These client has contacted me twice for these domain and I told Dan yet nothing happened, but the said the will look into it..

Everyday Netsol sends me emails telling me my information is listed online and I should activate privacy. I'm always tempted to reply them their mates in the industry have privacy for free and they don't have two heads

If that won't result in negativity, abeg help us tell them

Osnami:
Hello. Please I want to get a foreign number to follow up with my client. Which service is the best to use: TextMe or Dingtone

I use dingtone and it's excellent for me

cyriletifit:
I am having difficulty paying for dingtone USA number with my credit card. I am getting error in card details, try another card.

I have tried different cards still not working.
Please help.

Encountered same problem.
But used PayPal

cdor777:

Does it work offline?

Negative.

Adv is it's quite cheap. Esp call to US numbers

schullten:
List it.
But don't put any BIN, just allow for Make Offer.

I'll, and sit back and watch

Promxy94:
I am also quilty of having some, which I plan to drop and never renew.

My advice don't Outbound for it, if they come for it, give them, if the domain also sells by them clicking Bin that's wonderful.

It takes over $2500 getting a counsel for Udrp lawsuit. Unless you want to represent yourself.

Alright then. I'll sit and see wat happens.
Thanks

Promxy94:
Oga u are holding a trademarked name.
My advice is be careful.

How to make follow-up calls to close a deal

You can't call all your end users, No! You'll even put them off by calling first, I say this from experience, so first off, drop the phone, don't make the call just yet. So whats my method, I do the traditional mailing.

First, make contacts by emails, I know most of us already know this but I'll like to drop a few hints. Use the corporate mailing search tool hunter (dot) io to search for end users, It reveals mails rather than relying on only Google to show you end users. Before you forward that mail, read it, Is it convincing enough? Here is my mail checklist

-Subject line: "Redirect Your Customers To You, Yolanda Clinic" is more in astute than "BostonDentist.com", taking BostonDentist.com a domain example. Make it personal while making it profound.

- Short and plain language: Do not use any grammar a ten year old wouldn't understand, Also, make sure your mail fits the screen of your phone, don't make your buyer scroll

- Positive Energy: Don't be boring. Make the mail interesting and them looking forward to having the domain

- Requests/Keypoints bold: What is noticed at first glance should be all the positives of the domain, make sure to bolden this

- This is the point you raise a possible phone call if they're interested, Always end your mail with a statement on possible follow-up with a call or mail, this is what lets you know if you'll make a call or let them be. But before you let them go, you still throw in a possible follow-up mail in case they didn't get the first mail (note this in the follow-up mail), sometimes the follow-up mail gets you the response.
Don't forget to put your contact and name in the last line of the mail.


OK, Now lets make the call; Not yet, No, still not yet Have you made your research?
Before putting a call through, think of all you'll say. Are you sure you're ready? The second step is to make a thorough research, this takes me weeks sometimes. Don't make a sales call unless you have seen every page of Estibot, Majestic, SEMRush, SimilarWeb and maybe DomainIndex(I no know wetin do them), and others. Some of the data on the pages (e.g. price) are useless though, don't follow blindly, just harvest the ones you need into a note and note the domain strength (s).
Also, make sure to research your domain value by checking on recently closed deals of similar domains, and the niche the domain is. A car repairs company will likely not pay the same as a car sales company, their revenue isn't the same.
Do well to also track your mails to know which was read, forwarded, starred etc. this is what lets you send follow-up mails to those unsure.

Now, shall we make the call? Yes, by now you should feel comfortable and ready. Why are we making a call instead of finishing up in the mail? You are 70% likely to close a deal on the phone than in the mail. Have you ever gotten a response and the interested person disappears from there? This won't happen on the phone. You can also turn around a likely objection on a phone call than in an email.

Call at the right time, schedule yourself to make calls at receiver's best time. Don't call on a Monday morning or night when they are off to bed or Friday Evening you get what I mean, read their location timezone and project what they may be doing at the time. I prefer making calls at my receiver's work break (12PM-1PM) on Wednesday/Thursday. Most likely they are already preparing to close for the week but still have a day or two in the week to think of work stuffs.

How do you best start a sales phone calls? It is very likely your receiver is onto something and is being interrupted, so I go "Hello Martin Daniel, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I'm bla bla (name used in the mail)" - This makes them relax that its not a spam call while chiselling a soft spot that you're not trying to barge into their time so... your first door is open.

Next, Thank them for their interest in the domain, this is little but it has a way of opening a discussion (sometimes) and/or make them more welcoming.

Now is the time, Discuss Business, refer to whatever they said on the mail and use what I call, purpose-benefit-check. Let me give an example

"I'm calling to let you know that I am currently letting go of the domain bla bla bla [purpose], the domain was used by ... for six years and we still get a ton of visitors weekly, about ten thousand to be specific, I'm sure this are organic visitors from previous marketings bla bla bla [benefit].... we are very certain this will bring more customers to your business, Would you be interested in acquiring this domain?" [check]

It usually gets them to come to the table to discuss a possible deal. I have used this several times and it either comes with a Yes, or further enquiries and questions (to clear doubts), be sure to address this questions correctly.

Later tonight, If I am free, I will talk about handling objections. In Sales, objections are inevitable, so prepare for it at every stage of the sales process and get comfortable with someone having questions or saying No. In the meantime, let me crawl back to where I came from.

Thank You!

Thank you sir, God bless
