View Raw llms.txtWho We Are
DealBuff is built by searchers and entrepreneurs who have actually bought businesses. Not advisors watching from the sidelines. The company was founded by Christi Loucks.
We run targeted, human outreach campaigns that put buyers in front of business owners who are ready to have a conversation. Our philosophy: off-market sourcing is a timing discipline, not a tactic. The owner you email in month 2 may respond in month 8.
The Framework
Three disciplines that work together. Not a funnel. A system.
Maintain awareness of the market. Identify the right owner profiles. Know who is out there before you reach out.
Start respectful conversations. Position yourself as a credible, long-term buyer. Earn the right to be remembered.
Track timing signals. Follow up without eroding trust. Re-engage naturally when owners are ready.
Services & Pricing
We run your entire outreach operation. Full campaign setup and execution.
The complete 17-chapter proprietary sourcing system.
Everything in Free plus tools to move faster.
