Three-Way Domain Name Deal — A Creative

Pair strikes a creative deal to get recruiting domain names.

I’ve written ahead of regarding Harry Joiner and Jason Davis. Davis, who has one of the world’s finest collections of jobs.com domain names, sold CEOJobs.com to Joiner a couple months ago.

The two have struck another deal, and it shows how a little creativity in a deal can help get things done. The story goes like this:

-Joiner recently bought DirectorJobs.com, and Davis thought it was a great domain
-Joiner decided he ought to get CEOsearch.com to complement his CEOJobs.com domain
-Following negotiating unsuccessfully for CEOsearch.com, Joiner asks Davis to negotiate for him
-Davis purchases CEOsearch.com from its owner, and then trades it to Joiner for DirectorJobs.com

Joiner got a domain he wanted and Davis got one he wanted. Everyone is happy.

Next time you’re working on a domain deal and can’t pull everything together, consider creative thinking.
