As Francois said before it's hard to sell names that don't give them an SEO advantage or contain generic terms but these are the clients domainers should start targeting and not wait for the Johnson and Johnson's and CNN's to call. Movie ads are expensive - crazy expensive and no one ever remembers them. I love the doctors who put their number up - who has a pen in the movie theater ?? .. It's always something like 779-3869 - some number you will never remember. Lazy comes to mind when I think of a lot of the missed opportunities domainers are missing. I remember when I was 19 I took a job at a call center. For the record - I did not have to do this but I wanted to. Part of my idea was to learn to speak to people over the phone and also understand what its like to cold call. Again, this is something EVERY small business owner should do. No one is above this - lessons are incredible what you learn about what gets people to listen and how many people you can actually speak to in a day. Sales is a numbers game - speak to 100 - sell to 1. Next time speak to 50 sell to 1 - your ratio will improve in time but you have to call the first 100 to develop your pitch. Also, and this is VERY important I think. ALWAYS ask the people who you know will say NO first. Don't go after the sure money right away - that will always be there. Make your mistakes and learn you lessons on those people who you never thought you had a chance with any way. The reward will come when one of them says yes - then you can move on the new people and sure things. Kelly – Great addition – it’s these small business who will easily pay money for good domains.

At our theatres it costs $1,200-$15,000++++ a month depending on how many times a day, how many screens, and in which movies you want your ads appearing! Some of the ads are so terrible (no memorable call to action, lengthy web address etc...)it makes you wonder if they are getting any responses at all. These companies would be perfect targets for keyword domains. ***Are you guys doing any brokering services????

I have a job that sends me 200-300 miles a day throughout Houston, so I see my fair share of billboards (I should sell ads on my car!). I'll have to try this out. Good info. Thanks!

What I want to add is: Except for branding companies advertise with the idea to make money, and make it now. If your domain has no type-in and/or is not based in a generic term that should give them a SEO advantage then don't dream, you will not convince such companies to buy your domains. It's not about the beauty of the names here, it's about efficiency! Great post Alan.
