What's new

Hi everyone it's Nichola here

Hi everyone! :p

My name is Nichola Kelly. I am from England but living in Perth, WA as the weather is much better here. I got up at 6.30am today so I could go to the gym before work, just so I could have some wine later and not feel guilty! I am a Marketing Manager for the Domain Broker; Houghton Richards.

Any questions then feel free to drop me a message.

Happy Friday! :)

Hi Nichola - welcome.

I'm intrigued - I've been around a long time and think that I know most of the "domain brokers" in Australia.

I have to admit I've never ever heard of Houghton Richards. Particularly given that you portray yourselves as "Australia's Leading Domain Brokerage House". :)

How long have you guys been in business? Who is your principal? What Aussie domains have you sold?

some of the claims from a domain sales course advertisement
  1. You don't need any technical skills, marketing know-how or even your own website.
  2. You can make a small fortune trading domains (part-time or full-time) with very little working capital and an Internet connection!
  3. Domaining is an "underground" online business that even the smartest Internet marketers hardly know about.
  4. It sounds unbelievable, but thousands of dollars will be exchanged between Domain Traders throughout the world as you're reviewing this!

Hi Neddy,
Houghton Richards have been in business since early 2014. Simply for privacy of our clients, we do not disclose specific sales on open forums but we would be more than happy if ever required to validate the numbers we quote as they are infact conservative.
Regards,
Nichola
 
Hmm. Another graduate of a domain sales course?
Hi Andrew,
I, myself actually hold a BA Honours Marketing Degree and am not qualified in Domain Sales, but I do specialise in Marketing Communications. :) In terms of the business, we have over 50 employees based in offices in Australia, America, China and are soon to open an office in London, UK.
Regards,
Nichola

Hi Sasha,
I would agree that we are a very successful company. :) Simply for privacy of our clients, we do not disclose specific sales or client information on open forums but we would be more than happy if ever required to validate the numbers we quote as they are infact conservative.

Nichola

Hi Tim,
I am originally from Essex, just outside of London in the South East of England. As you know the weather is much better here so it may just steal me away from moving back home!
Thanks,
Nichola
