Gabriel Launches Podcast with Announcement of New
Domain Sales Platform Coming from Saw.com
When
Jeff Gabriel
talks, people in the domain industry listen - and
with the launch of his new video podcast
today, they can watchtoo! More on that in a
moment but first some even bigger news. The
Co-Founder and CEO of Saw.com
has announced the company is about to roll out a new
domain sales platform that is bound to shake
things up.
One
need only look at what Gabriel has done over the past
15 years to understand why both of these
developments are cause to sit up and take notice.
Jeff is one of the most successful domain brokers
in industry history with his resume
including a legendary seven-year run as the Vice
President of DomainNameSales/Uniregistry.
Over the past four years at Saw.com alone, he and his
team of five brokers have amassed a stunning $68
million worth of domain sales that have
included names like AI.com, Virtual.com,
Bunny.com, M1.com, Cool.com,
Anatomy.com, Event.com,
Fancy.com, CO2.com, Comet.com,
Media.com and many others.
Obviously
impressive but Gabriel also wants people to know
"We are not a brokerage of just high-profile
sales. We estimate we will finish the year by
selling more than 400 domains in various
price ranges as we continue to break records and
surpass our own goals. We have also developed
an appraisal tool that is being used
thousands of

times per week, providing
valuable
insights to our customers." Another draw at Saw
has been the introduction of a buyer brokerage affiliate
program that allows registrars and third parties
to refer customers interested in purchasing specific
domains that are not currently listed for sale.
With this successful
infrastructure already in place, Saw.com didn't have
far to go to take things to another level.
"That
is why we decided to apply the lessons we have
learned over our time in the industry to build a
new sales platform that allows sellers more
control and more data than they do right
now. We are bringing sexy back!," Gabriel
declared. Saw aims to
release a beta version of the platform in December
with limited access, followed by a full rollout
in January.
To go along with the
rollout of this ambitious project, Jeff also decided
to create an industry podcast, dubbedThe
Uncomfortable Podcast, that he said
will ""encourages more professionals to
take a step out of their comfort zone so they can thrive
(not just survive!) in the modern working world.
Through open and insightful conversations with
business owners, industry experts, and thought
leaders, the podcast will share stories, secrets,
and strategies from people who've been there, done
it, and got the t-shirt when it comes to achieving
extraordinary results. We will offer training
and Q&As as well."
In the first episode,
released today (and available for you to watch below), Jeff
interviews Yoni Belousov, a wildly successful
veteran domain investor since 2005 who has amassed
an impressive portfolio of nearly 100,000 domains.
Jeff noted, "Yoni's success extends beyond
the domain industry too. He has also excelled in
crypto, NFTs, and real estate. Yoni's career began
with affiliates, transitioned to traffic domains,
and eventually evolved to focus on premium
generics. Throughout his entrepreneurial
journey, he has learned to embrace change and
failure as opportunities for personal and
professional growth."
Jeff added,
"Starting the podcast with Yoni is perfect
because I've witnessed him and his portfolio grow
into one of the industry's finest. His
journey of triumphs and setbacks is truly inspiring.
Let me warn you, I am still getting the hang of
podcasting, so have a listen and Enjoy!"

long term.
