Well I've been on a high all day just from that conversation. I realize that most of us here hope to sell for big figures to other members. Getting on the phone was really hard, I had to get out of my comfort zone. I'm so much more confident now, and it really is the way to go, you really should try it.
I suggest that you sit down and write a script of what you intend to say to your prospects. Make a list of every business that would really benefit from your domain name. Then just call them and introduce yourself as the guy from ABC123.com. Ask them if they would be interested in a great on-line name for their company, expect them to say no, and if they do say no they're not interested, draw a line through their name and move on to the next number. When you get someone who says yes they would be interested, start talking, when you screw up that conversation because you' re talking to fast and nervous, don't worry, just cross out their name and call the next one and do it till you get through a hole conversation. This is called the chaining effect, where they teach lab rats the way they want them to behave, and reward them along the proper path. When they learn the process they become smooth and fast, that's all there really is to this, intestinal fortitude.
I'm getting really good at this phone thing, once I got past the fear of dialing the number. The first call is the hardest, the rest, well lets just say it's fun now. People on the other end are impressed that you're calling from a .com, I'm a believer!!!!!!
PS: make sure you have something for them to look at when they go there, even if it's just a holding page, check out
