If you don’t build a personal network, you limit your ability to sell domain names.

Today’s Sherpa describes how his personal network was critical to his professional success selling .com.au domain names. Without a network, he wouldn’t have been able to acquire customers or close deals.

All investors focused on ccTLDs should watch this show.

Thanks to the live streaming prowess of Marc Gawith, we will be live streaming DNSeattle this Thursday, May 25th from 6-9pm Pacific.

While you won’t receive all of the personal and professional benefits of attending DNSeattle in person — which is the main purpose of this networking event — you can still watch the action, listen to the educational program, and even ask a question.

“Selling Ice to Eskimos” is the topic and I’ll be interviewing Andrew Rosener, CEO of Media Options. If you have questions about sales, negotiations, getting deals done, and creative solutions for tough problems — now is your chance. Tweet to me with your question and the hashtag #AskSherpa.

When I started investing in domain names, I knew others were paying less in domain name registrations and renewals but I didn’t know how. I hunted high and low for discount codes and coupons, mostly wasting my time when they didn’t work at checkout.

What’s worse is that the time I wasted could have been better spent on education, research or outreach to find and acquire better domain name investment opportunities.

Today I’m pleased to share some exciting news with you. DNAcademy is leveling the playing field between those who are in the know and those who are new to the game.
