It goes to Rick's credit...

According to the National Sales Association, where sales occur in the sales cycle is as follows:

2% of sales are made on the 1st contact
3% of sales are made on the 2nd contact
5% of sales are made on the 3rd contact
10% of sales are made on the 4th contact
80% of sales are made on the 5th-12th contact

Congrats again!

Rick is managing the name/website... He doesn't own the domain. Still an awesome deal.

Manage the site ?

So basically the owner is giving a cut to Rick for his services of what exactly ? Putting up adds

Great gig if you can get it. I think it explains why nothing was ever done with the name prior . Maybe I can get a job tying this guys shoe laces.

I have reached this agreement with a few premium name owners who did not previously monetize their domains until I showed them the "light"

Good job Rick, I miss the cat though

Great story - being born in Germany I should have thought of this... errr, acted on this

Rob

p.s. I'd be interested in seeing the server logs prior to the Rickization of the site - all that bandwidth for that cat!
