Reseller Guide: How to Identify High-Potential Customers
Find the right clients. Offer the right solutions. Grow your business.
As a reseller, your success depends on your ability to match your products with the people who truly need them. This guide will help you spot high-potential customers and understand which of your products (domains, hosting, websites, MSEO, email, etc.) are the best fit.
1. Who Needs a Domain Name?
Look for individuals or businesses that:
-
Don’t have a website or use a generic platform like Facebook pages
-
Have newly registered businesses (check local listings or news)
-
Own social media handles but not the matching domain
-
Are using a competitor’s TLD and could benefit from a local domain (e.g., from .com to .com.au)
Approach: I noticed your business doesn’t have a website domain yet. Securing your brand online is a great first step — I can help with that.
2. Who Needs Web Hosting?
Target customers who:
-
Already have a domain but no hosting
-
Are on free website builders with limited features (e.g., Wix, Blogger, or free WordPress.com)
-
Are currently hosted with unreliable providers or are unhappy with support/performance
-
Need custom email addresses (e.g., [email protected])
Approach: You already have your domain, let’s take the next step with a hosting plan that gives you more control and performance.
3. Who Needs a Website (Web Design Services)
Reach out to:
-
Small businesses still using only social media
-
Clients with outdated, slow, or unresponsive websites
-
Freelancers, consultants, or professionals who want a personal brand
-
Businesses that recently moved, rebranded, or expanded services
Approach: First impressions matter. Let’s get your business a modern, mobile-friendly site that drives more inquiries.
4. Who Needs SEO (MSEO)?
Great candidates include:
-
Local businesses in competitive industries (e.g., plumbing, salons, restaurants)
-
Clients with nice websites but no traffic
-
Businesses relying heavily on referrals or word-of-mouth
-
Companies asking, “How do I get found on Google?”
Approach: A good-looking website is great — but it should also be discoverable. I can help with that using a proven SEO strategy.
5. Who Needs Email Hosting or SSL?
Approach businesses that:
-
Use Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail for professional communications
-
Are collecting customer data through forms but lack SSL certificates
-
Want to build trust with secure, branded communication
Approach: Secure and professional emails (like [email protected]) help build trust. Let’s set it up along with website security.
6. Tools to Help You Identify Opportunities
-
Use a Website Audit Tool: Check performance, SEO gaps, and mobile readiness
-
Leverage Domain Lookup: See if your client’s brand name is still available
-
Ask Simple Discovery Questions:
-
“Do you have a website already?”
-
“How do your customers usually find you?”
-
“What’s your online marketing strategy like right now?”
7. Pro Tips for More Conversions
-
Start by helping, not selling — identify a pain point or opportunity first.
-
Focus on value, not just price.
-
Use bundles to increase cart size: Domain + Hosting + Design + Email.
