That they opened your mail several times may not count.
More than one person can have access to an email, or the email may just be a group mail..so any mail will reach each member of the team, and they will begin to open one by one and pass.
U can only be sure of the mail that is being read if directed to a particular person

It was directed to a prticular person. I mailed the decision maker, he refered me to someone to talk to, thats the person that keeps opening nad even asked how much but has not responded

Hi bosses

So I'm not new entirely but I am having a recurring pattern and I want to know how you deal with prospective customers that show interest, ask for price and then go into oblivion. You even notice they have read the mail severally, like opened it 30 times in two weeks but they just won't respond. This is the third time I am having this, prices aren't really outrageous and most of them, from research can afford it. Imagine offering a company that announced their revenue of millions a good domain for $2,999 or $1999, you feel they can easily pay for it and they have shown interest.

Please, how do you deal with this? What has worked for you in the past?

NB: They insisted I give them the price for it.

Add price in your sales letter then.
Automatically eliminates the "how much" part. Thanks.

PS: a company may earn more than Facebook, but may not be interested in your domain or at the price you are selling. So don't connect your mind much with that.

Regards
I like this perspective too, thanks bro

hey man... just give you perspective... I once offered Jeff Bezos a domain name, which was far better than any other ones they had previously bought from BuyDomains at that time.

Can they afford it? YES

How many related domains did they buy at that time? over 4

Was mine bad? NO, mine was even better than the previous 4 that they bought.

Did they buy mine? NO NO NO NO... Maybe because I reached out to them. Jeff referred his staff and that one instructed me to write a letter lol.

That is sad reality of domaining. It does not matter if they have the money or not.

Oh Wait what did I just read, thanks bro! Make I come cry for your WhatsApp join my tears cry
Business / Re: Why Do Digital Marketing Experts Never Advice Starters To Use Wordpress? by laykhorn(m): 7:47am On Aug 25, 2020
llaykorn:
Just recently, I started studying how digital marketing works from books and courses I found available online. One aspect that still leaves me baffled, without an explanation is the very long complex chapters written on website creation. The technical epistles about having a developer create your technical specifications, and lessons about plans on what to add and what not to and how to do those.

Why do these materials want digital marketers to go through all this stress and when websites can be built on services like Wordpress? Its paid services give a lot of customizability and the ability to add just about all a basic business website needs - from what Woedpress claims.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there any major advantage of having a team of developers work on your website over a Wordpress subscription? Digital marketers, I need help abeg.


This man, How have you been na? cool

Business / Re: Which Business Can I Do With N300k As A School Teacher? by laykhorn(m): 8:44pm On May 22, 2020
DanielIkeije:
I’ll advice you acquire a high income skill.

A high income skill will make you between $2000 to $10,000 monthly if you are really good at what you do.

Out of the 300k take out some money and pay for a course to learn a high income skill.

This will benefit you greatly trust me.

There are two catch here

1. No high income skill will get you $2000-10,000 monthly and cost only $700 to learn. Baloney!

2. Most high income requires a long learning process, it will take everyday dedication (which I summit he doesn't have the time) and take years (3-5) to become relevant enough to earn $2,000-$10,000

Branding is by far better in business communication. But to make it trust worthy too, you must have good reputation in the past (i.e. footprints). Personally, I don't use sales@domainname .com, I use dnoffer@domainname .com because no one wants to be sold from the get go. It has been working for me.

You cannot say anything about a buyer. Everyone is different until you meet your prospective buyer. There are buyers who don't even know the difference between custom domain name and a free email ID like gmail.com.

So, reach out, reach out and reach out. Your results will tell you what works for you.

Great insights, Thanks man!

Hi Everyone!

I am building a portfolio site and creating a personalised mail "sales (@) mydomainbrand dot com" for my domain portfolio and make it possible to make offer on the site just for better professional outlook. All domains are pointed to Dan.com (undeveloped) and carry this brand name but I am not sure if this move is right for a few reasons

1. I will be sending outbound mails with this brand mail, I think the general public doesn't know this as a business really. Do you think this will be sort of "Give me your money for a domain" that may be a turn off for prospective end users or they will embrace the brand better than some random somebody who sends them an email.

2. Do buyers become more open to deal with a brand or get turned off?

Has anyone tried doing this? What was the experience of mailing as a brand instead of a personality?
Is using a mail such as "sales@domainbrand.com" a good one or using "hello@...." or "name@...." more appropriate? Nobody likes to being sold and sales scream "I am here to take your money".

Is this a good move or waste of time?

Autos / Re: Toyota Corrolla 2007 Up For Grabs 950k Negotiable by laykhorn(m): 6:33pm On Jan 28, 2020
ginger100:

Hello it is a 2007 Toyota Corrolla made in Japan. It is written on the driver seat beat and car owner manual. The car was bought brand new in Nigeria in 2008. The model is also written on the car receipt. Thank you. You can also browse about it online. You ignoranus

Your reply says it all. You had to end with an insult. I have a Corolla 2006, I know what '07 looks like. Maybe you should Google a 2007 Corolla and see how one looks, while at it, don't forget to search for 2002 Corolla and educate yourself on what you have. Forget all the trash talk of on engine and on receipt, engine might have been replaced and receipt isn't verifiable with this error. Get some real education on what your drive

The picture shows a 2002 Toyota Corolla but you advertised 2007. Either you're a scam or this is a click-bait. If the later, I advice you modify, nobody does business with a dishonest person unless they want to lose their money

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 angry 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 undecided 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!

Please do u just call them using ur US number w/o sending email or them requesting for a call?
I mean do u use phone call method for outbound rather than email?

No! I don't use phone call method alone. I still use the traditional outbound mailing but close the deal with calls. I craft my mail in a way that I let them know I'll like to do a follow up call in a few days to discuss possible acquisition of the domain and should signify if they have any questions they may have. Turns out most times, people just prefer to talk over it on the phone for a minute than to craft a mail on a deal

Most buyers may get put off by high price, so its easy to read that in their tone on the phone and make them come out to know what their proposal is and a possible closure
