Q

Do you have group rates? Discounts?

A

Let me guess… You’re the guinea pig for your friends right? We don’t negotiate our prices – everyone pays the same. But, if any of your friends join, you’ll get an extra date for each one!!

Q

What is your success rate?

A

I am VERY good at what I do, the majority of the time my clients will exchange numbers so they can go out again.

Q

I only want to date doctors… No sales people. Do you have people like that?

A

Are you a salesperson? Why would you only want to date doctors? If you want to date successful people… We have all sorts! From traditional professions like doctors, lawyers, and bankers to entrepreneurs, people in publishing, marketing, the arts… We have a really diverse group! We’ll talk more about this when I meet you.

Q

Do you have attractive people?

A

Absolutely! We see everyone and they arrange from attractive to VERY attractive! It’s funny because men always ask, “Do you really get attractive women?” and I always laugh and say YES… They come to me because they do go out on lots of dates, but not with the types of people they would like to meet. They want us to be very picky for them. But that’s something we’ll talk more about later today during our interview – exactly what your idea of attractive is.

Q

Can we be set up for dinner dates?

A

Oh, no! We can either do lunch or a drink after work… I even have lots of clients on Saturdays and Sunday’s at lunch, brunch, or even a late afternoon drink… That’s our job. Juggling everyone’s hectic schedules!

Q

Do women and men pay the same price?

A

Absolutely! Everyone pays the same thing – which our clients appreciate. (You never have to worry that you’ll be sitting across the table from your date feeling like you paid one price and he/she paid something different.

Q

Why don’t we do dinner?

A

It’s just lunch or a drink after work – no pressure dating! Obviously, most of my drinks turn into dinner, but that’s up to you.

Q

I’ll do the interview but I’m not joining today. I want to think about it.

A

Oh, I don’t even know if I’ll have matches for you and whether I’ll be able to take you on as a client! All we’re going to do is talk for an hour. You’ll see if you’re comfortable with me and how I work, and I’ll see if I have the types of people you’ll like. It’s really fun!

Q

Two of my friends have done this before. One met someone, and the other thought that the service was horrible.

A

Oh, most of my clients are referred to me. One thing I’ve noticed is that our clients who have the most fun and seem to end up meeting people they really like, are the ones who are good at contacting us right after each date with feedback. That’s what really makes this work for our clients.

Q

It’s really expensive!!!

A

My clients look at this as an investment because they hire me because they are selective, and want to go on quality dates. Who wants to date just for the sake of dating, right?

Q

I’m thinking of joining a dating service and am calling around. How are you different?

A

You know… I really don’t know about other services. My clients love how we work because we are really personalized. We are confidential and discrete; we don’t use videos or computer. We work with very upscale, busy people here in Austin/San Antonio and they love that we do all the work for them. I do think it’s a great idea that you’re calling around and talking to others because the most important thing is that you feel really comfortable and that you like the person you’ll be working with. But let me tell you about our clients and how the process works.

Q

How much does it cost?

A

The membership is for a year, it’s $2,400 and you will have a minimum of 12 dates, but I’ll have a better feel about how often you will be going out when I meet you.

Q

How old are you?

A

You know a woman never tells her age!

…I am in my very late 20’s!

19
Q

What is the ratio of men to women?

A

Our goal is to keep our ratio right around 50/50. So, we control who we take.

20
Q

I find it hard to believe normal men would do this.

A

That’s funny because men always ask that. Do normal, attractive women do this… Yes! We get to see everyone… And I am normal and our clients are definitely normal. Our men are busy, attractive, well educated and are definitely dating a lot… But they want me to be more selective about the types of people that they date.

21
Q

I’d like to speak to some of your clients as a reference before I join.

A

Oh, I’d never do that. We work with a really high profile group of people here in Austin/San Antonio and they join because we are discrete and confidential.

22
Q

What if I don’t have a degree?

A

Well, are you fine with dating someone who has a degree?

(When they say yes, they usually ask, “but will they want to date me?”)

Oh, lots of people are open to that… That’s something we’ll talk more about that when we meet… We’ll also talk a lot of other things too, like types of people you find attractive, how athletic you are, what your interests are…

23
Q

What method of payment do you take?

A

Either a credit card or a check is fine.

24
Q

Can I buy a one month membership?

A

No! We would NEVER take you as a client for one month– it wouldn’t work. The reason this service works for our clients is because we really get to know them and what they are looking for. It’s a fine tuning process and they love that they get to meet a lot of people and give us feedback on what is working the best for them!

25
Q

What if I am not happy?

A

Oh, you have to contact us after each and every date and let us know exactly what you thought. That’s how we know what to focus on for your next date. In really good at this, but I can only do a great job for you if you give us good feedback!

26
Q

I only want to date Jewish men.

A

Ok, well that’s something that we will talk more about when I meet you.

27
Q

I’d like to check out the newsletter you’re sending me first, and then call in and make an appointment.

A

I’m going to send you the newsletter… It’s fun and interesting, but it doesn’t tell you what being an It’s Just Lunch client is like or why this works for our clients, it’s just a fun thing to read with dating tips and trends but the first step is for us…

28
Q

What’s the difference between this and Internet dating?

A

Most of our clients who have tried Internet dating, tell me that they like us so much more… They like that we meet everyone face to face and that our clients are serious about dating… We are a personalized matchmaking service! It’s not a second job like online dating!

29
Q

How do you know what your clients look like?

A

Oh, we meet each of our clients face to face and we get feedback from our clients after each date so we always know what our clients look like and any changes they make during the time we work with them. We are very personalized and my clients love it!

30
Q

How many offices do you have?

A

We just keep growing! We operate in over 100 cities in the U.S. and internationally as well.

32
Q

Can I talk to him/her before the date?

A

Oh no, we take the awkward part. We make it easy for you… We tell you everything about him/her before your date…what he looks like, his interests, his profession, etc. our clients love that we do all the arrangements and make it easy for you to meet!

33
Q

I can’t do this week… Next week is better.

A

Oh, so you’re more open next week? Good! Let’s figure out a time we can meet today – while I have time since my trip was canceled, that way, if we have what you’re looking for, I’ll schedule your first date for next week when you are more open.
