It’s interesting to ponder what’s going on through the head of a complete stranger, who contacts me out of the blue for a domain name in my portfolio.
Social skills are being tested when having a voice conversation; one can easily slip up and say things they would not say in person.
In other words, when you call to inquire about a domain, watch your attitude with me.
For starters, I didn’t call, you did. I’ve better things to do than discuss why the asking price isn’t “ten bucks“, and little intention to help you diffuse your frustration, that stems from your inability to hold a business discussion for five minutes.
When you’re cool and well-behaved, I can spend time educating you and perhaps even, pointing you to an alternate direction per your non-existing budget. I’m nice like that.
However, you give me lip, boy, and I will lash out on you like you’ve never heard a British sailor in your life.
In a nutshell: think before you speak, and do some reading before you call. It will save us both time and aggravation.
Now that’s what I am talking about! Someone who says it like it is! Being real is what I am all about..and….too, if buyers/investors would like to inquire do not waste your time with a $10 price tag in mind…it is not going to happen and with a zillion emails to sift through and sellers waiting to sell…I feel your frustration…. Thanks for the nice article…Kev
Kev 😀 I don’t mind lowball offers, inquiries or purely uneducated queries.
What I do mind, is when the other party jumps on me when they can’t get what they want, at the price they want it!
Happy new year, best of success in your life and business.
Interesting post, Theo 🙂 I normally reply to people who acts like a college student like this. “I am open so maybe just send me your best offer and I will consider it. No need to sell me on your budget – trust me, I don’t believe anything and have heard every story 100 times” 😀
