Date Coaching – Dating coaches offer coaching to improve their clients’ success in dating, relationships and eventual marriage. This is done through conversations, behavior modeling, and role playing. Basically a dating coach trains their clients to meet, interact and attract other romantic partners.
Dating Site Profile Creation – Creating the right profile is essential. Just as much as the photo that your members will put on your site. It’s critical that to be effective and get the best possible matches that the profile be created the right way. Offering these services will help your members feel comfortable with other members as well as help your dating site overall in its reputation and revenue.
Public Introductions – This is where you can offer your matchmaking services to help people meet other people in public settings. This involves ensuring that the member is not wearing cutoff shorts and a tank top. Professional matchmakers ensure that their clients are properly dressed for the occasion. They will also help pick the meeting place. Don’t let your members pick a dive bar unless both parties are interested in dive bars. It’s all in who the client is and of course the type of dating site you’re running. A Harley motorcycle lovers dating site won’t want to meet for high tea if you know what I mean.
Feedback Analyzing – This is a crucial part of the matchmaking process. In order for your members and you to be able to adjust the matchmaking service you have to have feedback from your clients. If they bombed on the first date due to how they were dressed or what they said then you need to know that. If your client said the wrong thing then you need to know that. Analyze everything that happened on the date and adjust your tactics for the next date. It’s all in the feedback.
The idea here as a matchmaker is that you need to keep doing it hence the term rinse and repeat. Your customer is paying you a lot of money so don’t let them down. Keep on getting busy.
