Self-Brokering Benefits at GoDaddy
The self-brokering feature on GoDaddy's AfterNik platform allows domain investors to have greater control over their sales, enabling them to manage leads directly rather than relying solely on brokers. This approach appeals particularly to experienced sellers who prefer to negotiate prices and strengthen relationships with potential buyers. By implementing self-brokering, GoDaddy aims to cater to sellers who might feel restricted by traditional brokerage methods. The requirement of a premium Domain Discount Club membership ensures that only seasoned investors utilize this feature, thereby maintaining professionalism and accountability in transactions.
