Maybe I’m just not that good of a salesperson. But I have exactly a zero percent sell rate when the “offers” come through my landing page with full data but no offer. I also have zero percent sale rate when the info is from anywhere in the Middle East or India. That doesn’t mean I ignore them. It merely means I don’t get too excited when I see an inquiry that falls into those categories. Domain Name Sales says they convert those no offer leads regularly. I seem to only convert my productive time into wasted time when I answer them. My opinion is that if putting in a $200 offer keeps some bidders from entering the negotiation phase its something I’m willing to trade in exchange for getting rid of the dozens and dozens of leads that go nowhere. And this isn’t just DNS, its pretty much all the landers I use that don’t require an offer of some sort. That will be changing unless someone can convince me otherwise. Here are today’s names.

I had a $200,000 domain sale once, that started with an email inquiry from somebody in India, and although she sounded very real (I ended up talking to her by phone a few times also), her financial situation was odd and I did not really think it was something that would ever close, but the deal went fine. So, you never know.
Eric,
Thanks for sharing. I know that a great sale can come from anywhere in the world. I don’t mean to say that someone from India or any other country are bad people. Just sharing that my percentages are much lower in regards to filled out contact sheet and actual sales. Some of the nicest people I have ever met are from India and the middle east
The sales team at Uniregistry appears to be pulling gold from mud.
unfucktheworld.com for $3k?????? Amazing.
Shane, same thing here. I’ve been doing this for years, have had dozens of good sales but not one of them has ever come from a lander where the buyer didn’t submit an initial offer with their inquiry, dozens and dozens of those no-offer inquiries through landers = all 100% duds. I’ve even went as far as quoting cheap $xxx prices out of curiosity to see if it would better convert them, and still no reply. Every one of my successful sales had some type of initial offer entered, whether it be $50 – $1000 or more. I also noticed when using a lander that required an offer, I got far less inquiries, landers where no offers are required I get a lot more but they’ve been all worthless. I’m beginning to think that as a rule someone who doesn’t enter an offer was just curious, kicking-tires, or confused, but I still respond to them all because it will be the day you choose to ignore a no-offer inquiry that could’ve been the one to turn into 4 or 5 figure sale. G’luck. PS – this rule doesn’t hold true for direct email inquiries without an offer. I’ve converted the majority of those into sales.
