Saw.com’s screening questions make responding to inquiries easier.
As I mentioned on yesterday’s podcast, I closed my first sale transaction on Saw.com last month.
Saw launched its domain sales platform in August. I’ve added about 30 domains during the past few months and pointed them to Saw’s landers.
What I like the most about Saw is how it handles initial inquiries. A bot asks the buyer questions after they submit an offer:
- What is your budget?
- Have you tried to buy this domain before?
- What is your timeline?
Asking these questions helps in two ways.
First, it gets more information from the buyer, which can be helpful in negotiations.
Second, it weeds out confused buyers. Anyone who has used a self-brokerage platform before knows that many people who submit an inquiry aren’t trying to buy the domain. By asking these screening questions, you can verify actual interest before spending time responding.
Saw lets you self-broker for a 9% commission or kick the lead over to its brokers for a 15% commission.
In this case, I handled the transaction myself. Saw dealt with a complicated payment setup from the buyer (they had daily limits on how much they could send internationally) and quickly paid out the transaction.
Overall, I like what Saw has created. I plan to continue using it for my higher-end domains.
