If you are the only surgeon in town, your name does not have to be easy to pronouce. This guys company definately did not need the LLL though it will look nice. What I do not understand is why they did not get the LLLgroup.com since that spelt there company out. Believe me as hard as it will be for us domainers to accept not everyone needs a killer URL. This company I assure you does not need or desire type-in traffic. Micheal,

We should be explaining the power of type-in traffic to businesses every chance we get. When he said "we don't need it that bad" you should have jumped on him and told him he can't afford not to own the LLL.com, and explained to him why. Every time we accept a lame excuse for why a business is fine with a crappy reg-fee domain, we are hurting ourselves and our industry.

In recent weeks I have been targeting companies with hyphenated domains, 2-3 word .net/.biz/.org domains, and brand names which do not describe their product or service. The response after more than 300 letters thus far has been practically nil and these names are NOT priced for thousands of dollars. One response I did receive perhaps summarizes it well, "...what we have already (a two-word .org) is sufficient..." Yes.

I can understand your situation, the company was developed and has been using that domain for some time i imagine. So why would they change. Domains are only good to end users trying to get into domaining or trying to start out a domain but there are the few developed businesses that purchase domains that are linked to there product they have or are building. I guess some buy and some do not care. I have not had many encounters with end-users, but they do not know the value of the domain you are trying to sell then.
