Press Release Author - Jason Breakey and Barrett Stone

 

There is a lot of concern about safety when it comes to Internetdating. How does the company handle this issue?

Barrett Stone? When you charge a premium for a service, likewe do, it screens out a lot of people who shouldn't be there. We are selectivein who we will enroll. The person has to qualify physically, emotionally,mentally and financially. This company is well aware of the fraud issues thathave plagued on line dating over the years. That's why our model is basedaround communication, interaction and good old-fashioned personal service.

Jason Breakey? We do our absolute best to verify all theinformation members put on their data sheets. Now, could someone with a hiddenagenda slip through the cracks ? of course they could. Internet dating sitesare ideal places for dishonest people to pull scams. Our company has built-insystems and protocols in place that help identify any suspicious behavior.Member feedback is also vital in helping us keep our service a safe haven forsingles to meet. We are a very ?hands-on? company. The safety of our clientshas been, and always will be, a top priority for us.

Why are more and more singles turning to the Internet in hopes offinding ?the one? for them?

Breakey? There's a very big disconnect between males andfemales today, especially for older people. Where does a single 35 or 40-yearold go nowadays to meet people their own age? You're not going to have successin a bar environment, it just won't happen. People are especially tired of thegames people play when it comes to attracting the opposite sex.

You say you screen people to see if they are right for your datingservice. Are you sure you won't just take anyone off the street who is willingto pay cash on the spot?

Stone? Here is what you have to understand. Premiere Singlesdoesn't franchise its concept to different cities around the country. We openup branches, or divisions of the company, like Omaha Singles, Raleigh Singles,Tulsa Singles etc., so that we can maintain total control over how we marketourselves. Each city has a presence on the Internet, and has its own domainname so that it retains a local feel to it. Now, if we franchised our conceptlike the rest of the dating industry does, we'd take your money in a heartbeatand move on. Most dating services fail because their business is engineered forpeople to come in and pay a lot of money, and in return, their customers receiveless service for them.

Breakey? The heart isn't something you play games with. Havingit broken, time and time again, is what got these people turned upside down inthe first place. Over the years, through first hand experience talking with allsorts of individuals, you come to understand the pain and frustration people gothrough hoping one day the right person walks into their life. Like Barretttouched on earlier, there's a reason we are very selective when it comes toadding new members. We just won't take anyone's money if we don't believe, inall honesty, that we can increase their odds of truly meeting someone they?llbe happy and compatible with.

Tell me what you feel the difference is between what you offer, andwhat other dating services advertise?

Breakey? Here is a dirty little secret my years in thebusiness has taught me. The less a dating service has to deal with you thebetter off it is for them. For instance, some services will have you come intotheir office and choose someone you'd like to get to know better. Well, if thatperson happens to get busy, they won't call the dating service. A lot of datingsites are set up for you to get totally frustrated with the process and quit.The major power players in the industry today are tied into an old franchisebusiness model where you get the money first, worry about the fallout later.That's why they always have the angriest clientele.

Stone? Our work doesn't stop after a sales associate signs youto our service. We have member relations personnel in each office that willhelp you with your essays, set up your photo sessions, monitor your progress,suggest meeting places for dates, suggest other members you might be interestedin. If a member hasn't logged onto the website to check their e-mail in sevendays, we call to find out if anything is wrong; is there anything we can do tohelp facilitate a meeting for them. If one of our members hasn't answered anintroduction, we call them to find out why. If they completed an introduction,we call them to find out if they went through with the date. Jason summed upour company the best the other day when he said our service is almost likebeing introduced to another person through a friend.

A lot of dating sites are long on promise, short on delivery. Whatcan I expect from you?

Stone? We offer people a platform where they can changewhatever habits they had in the past and get a fresh start. I can't emphasizethis enough when I say we are here to help you improve your social life, nottake your money and run. For that reason alone, our sales personnel thoroughlyexplain our company to clients. When you become a member, we want you to feeltotally comfortable with the decision you made.

Breakey? I would rather have an individual's expectationschecked at the door before they ever give us a dime of their money. I neverever want anyone to feel they've been misled into joining our dating service.When you take that first step to walk through our door, you are putting yourhopes and dreams into our hands. That is a huge responsibility we don't takelightly.
