I was able to both park domains with substantially higher PPC revenue, and to manage my selling approach based on the source, type and background checks I can run on inquiries.<\/p>\n<p>About 10% of my sales via Domain Name Sales is performed by their <a title=\"Domain Name Sales brokers among the best professionals in the industry\" href=\"http:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/business\/domain-name-sales-brokers-among-the-best-professionals-in-the-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>highly competent domain brokers.<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The company employs educated people, that possess a great grasp of the market and its intricacies. DNS brokers are constantly trained on the job and they are great negotiators, even if I use them for sales that had reached a dead-end initially.<\/p>\n<p>So why is today&#8217;s price increase for brokered commissions, <strong>actually a good thing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To put the increase into perspective, a $10,000 dollar sale will increase from a commission of $1,250 to $1,500. That&#8217;s perfectly acceptable at that range, and if you aren&#8217;t able to get that much of a sales price for some of your domains, you&#8217;re doing something wrong.<\/li>\n<li>Increased commissions go towards infrastructure, training, and hiring of highly competent individuals. These domain brokers are also compensated at an increased rate, thus becoming more motivated about a potential sale.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, the increase is on a par with other venues that offer fewer tools and less flexibility for your commission dollars. Maximize your earnings by dealing through the most qualified professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>I strongly recommend<\/strong> that you call and introduce yourself to the domain brokers that you&#8217;ve done lots of sales through. Saying hello, and an honest<strong> thank you<\/strong>, goes a long way in any industry &#8211; even if you&#8217;ll be charged a bit more in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I started using Domain Name Sales in the fall of 2012, I&#8217;ve raved &#8211; time and again &#8211; about the incredible tools it provides to domain investors.
