frustration
over their inability to control revenues
on the parking side has shifted many
domainers outlook to focus on a revenue
stream they have control over. That
revenue stream is sales.” Schilling
also noted that hiring skilled industry
leaders who were willing to pick up and
move to DNS headquarters in the Cayman
Islands was a challenge, but Frank was
was able to persuade Jeff (and his new
bride) to relocate from their life long
home in New England to the Caribbean.
Once
in the Caymans, Jeff will be tasked with
taking sales numbers and the DNS platform
to the next level. He will focus
on increasing sales for both Frank’s
owned and operated names as well as those
of Frank's InternetTraffic.com
domain monetization clients. Gabriel will
have a lot of tools at his disposal to
make that happen, including the current
highly proficient DNS Sales Team and the
many solid relationships Jeff has
established throughout the industry, some
of the strongest of which were made during
his time as President at DomainAdvisors.
If you follow our weekly
domain sales reports you have
no doubt noticed that DomainAdvisors has
had a hand in an increasingly large number
of high dollar third party brokerage deals
completed on the DNS platform.

DomainAdvisors
Founder and CEO Tessa Holcomb said
she is looking forward to
maintaining a mutually beneficial
relationship with long time friend and
teammate Jeff Gabriel. “Jeff and I have
worked very well together over the years
and I consider him to be one of my closest
friends. His move to work directly for DNS
in the Caymans will not change that.
I genuinely wish him well!," Tessa
told us.
Group
Chairman Gregg McNair added “
Jeff is a true professional and a close
personal friend. His move to DNS in Grand
Cayman completes a circle as we
already act as a third party broker on the
DNS platform. The domain name industry is
growing but is really quite small in the
end. We have a terrific relationship
with both Frank and Jeff. None of that
will change with his move. We are
appreciative of the great team at
DomainAdvisors that Jeff has helped build.
It’s a unique opportunity for both Jeff
and Frank and we wish him the best in his
new challenge." |
