poll Why doesn't outbounding work

[topdom]

I'm not sure, but outbounding never seems to work.
Wondering why.

A lot of those reasons could apply. If a business really wanted the domain you're offering, they'd be knocking on your door, than the other way around. The belief that they haven't thought about it, or you're giving them some miraculous new information about their brand, is often wrong (it likely has crossed their mind, and not interested)

Because offering worse name than company is trading with. Eg SouthEnd doesnt need SouthenEnding.
Try this offer exact match domain to their business or keywords.

If I do outbounding, probably that company must get that domain (or at least, it would be good for them if they did), so I didn't even consider adding "they are not interested in that low quality domain" to the poll.
For example they use potatomachinellc.net and I offer potatomachine.com . Still ignored. or if not , they still don't buy at reasonable affrodable price. My purpose would be to wake them up, rather than selling right away (they need time to think about it). Still doing it rarely (maybe because, it doesn't seem to work).

End users often don't think like domainers too. You could be technically right with good intentions, with a technically better domain, and still fail to convince

Good arvo,

Imagine you need a new TV. You're old one is finished. What do you do? Go online and compare prices etc etc. Maybe visit a local shop to see it in person.

Now, imagine I have the perfect TV, one I know you just have to have. I send you a random email telling you why you need/have to have my TV. Sounds simple...right!!! What do you do next? After deleting my email of course. You go back to choosing a TV the way you've always done it even though I had the perfect TV for you.

Also, imagine that 5 people (domainers) have owned this domain name within the last 5 to 10 years. It is likely that all of them may have approached the company to tell them that they have the perfect name for their business and the reasons why they should own it. Now, the business owner may not understand domaining and is trying to figure out how 5 different people can own the same domain name. It would make them sceptical to say the least.

Most people will look for something themselves if and when they need it and don't always like to be approached.

I have a local hearing aid company that write to me every 4-6 months without fail and at some cost to themselves offering me hearing aids that I said I didn't want/need from them. P.s...If someone needs hearing aids they will probably always need hearing aids and if they haven't bought from you then they have probably bought them from someone else so there is no need to hound me for five years.

Some people just don't get it LOL.

Rgrds,

Redd

One thing is if they say no they aren't likely to change mind eg trading on net and have com over time. If they continue to grow then might come knocking if not burnt lead.

I did but will add another. You buy a domain to try to get some top ceo to see it when sole trader is real market.
