It's the question I get most, usually right after someone opens their report. They see the number they want sitting at a phone company and think: you're the expert, can I hire you to go get it? Here's my honest answer.
I do. That's exactly why I built DIY.
But here's the thing. When I track down a number like the one you want, I usually sell it for several thousand dollars. Chasing one great number at a time, for every person who asks, just isn't something one person can do.
What I'm really working on is connections with the phone companies themselves, the kind that open up thousands of numbers at a time instead of one. That's where my time goes, because it's the only way I'll ever be able to offer far more good numbers than I can today.
That's why I really can't try to get every good number customers want. (There's more on that on my Why I do this page.)
So rather than do nothing, I give you the ammunition.
It only costs me a few cents per customer to run the queries behind your report: every working number that spells your word, which phone company carries each one right now, and which ones look quiet. That report is your ammunition.
The calls are yours to make, and a polite, prepared person gets further than you'd think. The Number Hunting Guide shows you who to call first and exactly what to say.
You probably have a go-getter in your organization already, the person who never takes the first no as the last word. Hand them the report and the guide.
If you're a bigger company, you may even have people whose whole job is negotiating on your behalf. The last person who asked me this was an attorney. I had to laugh. They were already the right person for the job.
Not yet, but maybe soon. I'm looking at a way to connect you with people who are good at this and will make the calls for you, either on a platform like Upwork or one of my own.
If that's something you'd use, reply to the email your report came in and tell me. It helps me decide whether to build it.
Type your word. I'll show you who has it, and how to go get it.
