People get a lot fewer responses on DealStream than they get on other web sites. That’s because, unlike other sites, DealStream requires people to purchase a Pro membership before they can contact sellers. However, this is not  necessarily a bad thing. According to business brokers who use the site a lot, DealStream produces the same number of high quality responses as other sites. That’s because DealStream attracts higher quality buyers. A listing on another site might get 100 responses, but only 5 of those responses are from qualified buyers who have the funds needed to complete a purchase. The other 95 come from window shoppers, tire kickers, and unqualified buyers. The same listing on DealStream might only produce 6 responses, but 5 come from qualified buyers.
