I brokered a domain name recently which I hardly ever do. I have 100% success rate in the dozen or so I’ve done over the last decade because when people ask, they usually come to me with a lead that they’d rather have me work. I don’t have a lot of time to outbound a name so if that’s the expectation then I won’t be able to help. But when the name has a lead I’ll take it although like I said, I believe I’ve closed every one of them. Why don’t they just do it themselves? Usually its they have no idea what to ask or really just don’t enjoy the negotiation part. Feeling that my 15% will usually be paid for by my getting at least 15% more than they would have asked or gotten. In this case its a Meta name. A great name that probably would have eventually sold either way. The person that asked I had never met but he was familiar with me through this blog and on Sherpa. So he felt he knew me and realistically he does with as much as I’ve shared over the years. I don’t know him but I see the name and the lead and tell him I’d handle it.
I got his thread of previous correspondence to this point and its not great. Actually he said all the wrong things but we all had to become good negotiators so it’s all part of the learning curve. It made it a bit more difficult but I could see they really wanted the name. The result was a sale for more than he expected and honestly probably less than what the buyer was willing to pay. The best part is everyone was great to work with and great communication. That’s where I’m pretty good. I am good at communicating why this is valuable and why it should be to them. I am not giving them a course but a conversation that exudes we ARE willing to sell but we are going to get close to a price that we want. It’s our asset and we get to determine price. Willing to negotiate but within reason. I’ve gotten lucky that the buyers were ready to move and our numbers were in their wheelhouse. I don’t see myself brokering anything soon but it was nice to work someone else’s assets and see what I can do. I had just closed my own that day so I was feeling confident and maybe that came across in my negotiations.
