As a domain investor, I dislike one-line inquiries. If you want to ask me about a particular domain, if it’s for sale and for how much, please elaborate on your modus operandi a bit.
The more you talk about what you want to achieve with a particular domain, the easier it’ll be for me to quote a price that will suit your needs. My flexibility expands when I know more about you, not when I can’t figure out who you are and why you want to buy a particular domain name.
Having closed many domain sales over the phone, I expect that anyone with the ability to communicate first makes an introduction via email; should we then move onto a phone communication, that means you are ready to discuss the process and negotiate the price. I’m not here to consult with you, unless you pay me for my time.
In a similar fashion, to achieve more domain sales, you must expand on your responses to email inquiries. Even if the queries themselves are Spartan, your responses should expand on the copy; you must learn to ask questions and to formulate phrases that paint your domain asset in a positive, yet accurate, light.
To be a good salesman you not only need to have your numbers right, you must also have your words in order; this way, your interaction with a potential buyer will hopefully soon deliver great results.
