Famous Four VP goes solo, claims $400,000 sale
Former Famous Four Media VP of sales Richard Downs has launched a new consultancy business aimed at new gTLD registry operators.
The new company, GTLD Systems is offering a multitude of services but is mainly a way for smaller registries to outsource their sales and marketing operations.
Downs told DI an early success was a recent $400,000 deal, selling a few FFM premiums (in .review and .download) to a single end user. He says he has a pipeline that he hopes will bring his total sales to $1 million before the end of the year.
He said he’s sold over $3 million in premiums over the last few years at FFM.
Spain-based Downs said that he has three employees, one a Chinese-speaker, in three different western-European countries.
Among the services on offer are premium list creation and sales, registrar channel management, Chinese regulatory approval consulting, supplier negotiations and marketing consulting.
Downs was with FFM for about three years. Before that, he was in digital recruitment.
