How do you disrupt the domain industry? Frank Schilling will unveil his much awaited new sales platform that will change how we all buy and sell domain names. Just 17 months after Frank and his team disrupted parking, they are now poised to do the same thing with the sale of domain names on the secondary market.

Frank says:

"So what if I told you that your friends at InternetTraffic.com have been building a system over the past 9 months that doesn’t just rival, but exceeds the best sales platforms available to sell on the secondary market today."

"I imagine a world like iTunes, where any individual or organization can join and profit. A Universe where the walled gardens of existing marketplaces are distilled down to just domain names and the people in this industry who make things happen. I imagine a World where you control the leads, get market information on the buyer (live), select brokers, control the transaction and have discretion surrounding which escrow you will use to handle the money. I imagine a world where you can empower multiple brokers from different domain sales platforms to work for you – and all the better if that service is free."
