I am guilty of not reporting sales.

Outbound


All this sales are from August till date. Purchased all of them during netsol $1 promo.

Funny how, days after purchasing each of this names, I did outbound for them, no response whatsoever.
Then months after, I decided to repeat outbound for them, before they sell. Not allike name get interests on first try.I would advise not given up after a first few outbound.You could give it time then do outbound again, this time with price. Sweet price between $150 - $350. And who knows, you might just be lucky.

I use bing as my search engine, and I try as much as possible to get to page 14 before giving up.

You can just take it slow, may be one name per day. A neutral person might say outbound it's easy, shebi it's just to be sending ordinary mail. But that shit is actually tiring. But just a single purchase notification mail from Simon. And you forget the stress you went through �
So the cash prize ahead should be the motivating factor.

I think i need like two people for outbound sef. You do the outbound, the name would be for sale on dan.com under private seller. You take 35% of the sale price after dan commission.
Any interests, send me a message through my profile.

And thanks to the ogas in the house, you guys have helped alot of us without even knowing sef.

More sales to us all.

With all the complains made about dan.com and which I personally experienced in the sale of a domain this very month, I then mailed and asked Jessica if it was possible listing external domains brought from other registrar on Epik. Below was her reply which could be useful to you guys;

Our Marketplace was initially designed to allow only domains held at Epik to be listed. However, we do allow customers to list EXTERNAL domains with the Make Offer option as well as a Buy It Now price once they validate their account with us (Account - View Profile - Account Validation). With that being said, if your account is approved- ONLY domains that are older than 60 days should be listed in our Marketplace. If you sale a domain through Epik and the domain cannot be transferred immediately to complete the delivery to the buyer within Epik, the sale will get cancelled. Also note, the commission % for selling an external domain outside of Epik is 10%, not the standard 9%.

If you wish to proceed please log into your account and follow the above to validate your Epik account. Once you are done, please alert me here in this email thread. Thanks!

I bought it two months back ...today makes it exactly 2 months sold it after 2 weeks, via push could it be Dan will have to wait another 2 weeks for them to initiate the transfer since the domain will start counting from the time of push?

I have sent a screenshot of the mail to lazlo

But Dan is spoiling show with these transfer processing stuff


Even names that has auth code and was sold , the nameserver still points to Dan whenever I check which means The name is not yet with buyer...

Why na

Me am switching to Sedo o

Or I use registra marketplace

Because if am in the buyer shoe I would be angry still

Even the first name i sold with Dan is still pointing to there nameserver

Mustiboy:
Hello, I think I've read enough to kick-start this hustle.

However, as a newbie, I need to know where to buy domains on discount. I see people have been buying domains at prices way below $10.

I want to get my first 3 domains, but I need discounts.

I'll appreciate anyone helping with links.

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!
