Default Re: How to Approach an End User?

I've never actually done a cold call to an end user, but I thought that Morgan's post here was very well done:

Taking to End-Users*|*Domainvestors.tv


Quote:
Me: Hello, I’m looking for someone from your web marketing team.


Company X: Sure, let me transfer you.


Me: Thank you very much.


*Ring* *Ring*


Web Marketing Dept: Hello this is [Name]


Me: Hi this is Morgan from Linton Investments I’m looking for the person responsible for your Google Advertising


Web Marketing Dept: Sure, that’s [Name] – let me transfer you to him


Google Ad Specialist: Hello this is [Name], how can I help you?


Me: Hi, my name is Morgan and I work for a domain name investment company in California. I have a domain name very closely-related to your business that I thought you might be interested in.


Google Ad Specialist: Okay, what’s the name?


Me: The domain is [Domain Name] and it is currently ranked #3 in Google for [Keywords] which I noticed are keyword you are paying to advertise for.


Google Ad Specialist: We do advertise for those keywords but we have a pretty limited ad budget.


Me: I completely understand – I have a number of other companies that I’m contacting but I really thought this would be the best fit for your business. I’ve done some quick analysis of how much I think you could save this year on marketing costs just by owning this domain, can I send it over to you?


Google Ad Specialist: Well we’re always looking for a way to save money so I’d be willing to have a look at it.


Me: Great – what is your email address? I’ll send this over and you can contact me if it looks interesting to you.


Google Ad Specialist: Okay, will do. My email address is [Email Address]. Thanks Morgan I’ll be looking for your email.


Me: No problem – have a great day.
