Be careful though because this admission could be used against you in UDRP if you don't have legitimate use or rights to the domain.
This EXACT scenario happened with a domain I sold for 12k. They definitely responded to it, though they responded more after they'd decided to put it off, and I decided to begin development in their same sphere. :hehe: I wasn't even trying for a sale at that point, I legitimately had to get on with my business.
Here's another idea:
Have a webpage page up when the domain is typed-in. Send an anonymous tip to them from an innocuous e-mail address (maybe Yahoo), and put in the subject "DOMAINNAME.COM - this may be of interest to you." In the body of the message, have "I saw this on the Internet, and I thought it might benefit your company to see the listing for this name", and provide the URL. Do not say "I am selling this." Make it an anonymous tip.
If the company is publicly traded, go through their records, and find the president, CEO or CTO. Figure out which is more likely to follow up. In a company I worked for, though it took a while, our president was the one persuing a domain name that the company should have gotten. Otherwise, try other methods of determing to deal with. Perhaps use the whois record, or even try their website. The last resort is a guessing game, but pick your shot carefully I think. You shouldn't have to make a "second pass". Putting yourself in the shoes of perhaps I concerned customer providing an Internet tip, might be the best approach if that first scenario doesn't quite fit your situation.
Best,
