Two new TLD consulting companies enter into referral agreement.
New top level domains consultancy and registry provider Minds+Machines has entered into a relationship with new TLD sales consulting group Right Of The Dot.
Right Of The Dot was founded by Moniker founder Monte Cahn and Michael Berkens (of TheDomains.com) to help new TLD applicants make the best use of their premium second level domain names and sales to domain investors.
There’s not a whole lot of substance to this new agreement, as it basically says that both parties will non-exclusively refer clients to each other.
Still, I think it shows the niche Right Of The Dot has created for itself in the new TLD rollout. There are plenty of consultants helping applicants handle their technical and marketing requirements, but few that have a strong knowledge of how to make money beyond standard registrations.
Samit Madan says
Aren’t they both competitors?
As in both of them offer essentially the same services – to assist new registry owners process their applications.
More to it than meets the eye I think.
Andrew Allemann says
@ Samit – no. Right Of The Dot helps new gTLD applicants market their domain names later on down the road.
Samit Madan says
Thanks Andrew, didn’t realise the distinction.
Makes sense though with MHB & Monte’s depth of knowledge about the aftermarket.
So then its a perfectly logical tie up.

One gtld sucker for you…one gtld sucker for me. One sucker for you, one sucker for me. One sucker for you, one sucker for me. One sucker for you…one sucker for me. One sucker for you, one sucker for me. One sucker for you, one sucker for me. (sinister laugh goes here)
