WHY HER CLIENTS LOVE MICHELE FIELDS, DENVER’S MOST ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONAL MATCHMAKER

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

Do you want the truth?  I’ll tell you the truth.  How else can you correct mistakes, fix misconceptions and get the inside scoop unless you work with a well established Denver Matchmaker?  For 34 years I have been facilitating matches in collaboration with my clients and have stepped in when necessary to bridge gaps in communication.

If you feel like you’ve been making dating mistakes but cannot figure out what they are, as your Matchmaker I give clients feedback as to what my clients like and dislike, feedback on something(s) that may have turned the other person off when they first met.  During the interview and profile viewing, feedback on being too narrow or even too open is shared with each client.  Zeroing in on who you want and how you need to present yourself to make a successful partnership/marriage.

I have a client who used to be focused on…

FAVORITE DENVER MATCHMAKER SINCE 1989

As a veteran matchmaker I do not consider matchmaking a numbers game.  You will never see me sell a certain number of matches for an unreasonably excessive fee with no profile or photos to assist you in your selection.  As your matchmaker I offer clients as many matches as they feel are the best fit with an open-ended contract

I also disagree with the “It’s Just Lunch” premise in that I specifically advise my clients NOT to meet during a workday at lunch.  There are several reasons for this…if you are having a bad day at work, you sometimes can’t turn that off to be charming for the lunch hour.  You may be preoccupied with what’s going on back at the office, tracking the time so that you don’t return back to work late and business attire is normally not very flattering for women.  I have come to many conclusions about the BEST way to make a match successful after being in this business for 34 years!

During the one-on-one privately conducted interview I gather information in-between the questions as we discuss your desires, preferences and background.  There are no computers, no testing, no videos and no socials involved in the process.  No client is ever left alone to read a profile and perhaps jump to the wrong conclusions by something they misread.  I am there at all times to redirect, correct and clarify the information presented about each client.  Although matchmaking and dating service terms are used interchangeably there is a clear distinction between the two When you phone Bon Jour Matchmaking for information this is merely an exchange of information on both sides to see whether it is a fit.  I never meet with a prospect to “size them up” and give them the “hard sell”. 

After 34 years this Matchmaker is adept at discerning in an extended phone consultation whether this is the appropriate service structure for a prospect, whether that person will fit in with the rest of the clientele and whether they fit the majority of the criteria that my exclusive clientele expects.  Not all prospects who call about the service are a good fit and I have no problem saving a person money who might not be appropriate for the service.  Yes, I am an ethical Matchmaker.  The bottom line is not money, it is assisting professionals in attaining their romantic goals in the best way for them.

Developed in 1989 I am a matchmaker who not only puts introductions together, but also goes the extra mile to give every match the best chance it has to succeed by straightening out any miscommunications, misinterpretations and other complications that may impede the success of a potential relationship.  

All interviews are conducted privately in my home office, not in a public forum such as Starbucks like several other local services.  I respect each client’s reasonable expectation of privacy and will never do an interview in a public forum.

This unique structure has had a 70% success rate! Bon Jour Matchmaking Service is the original matchmaker for the Front Range since 1989!

WHAT MAKES MICHELE FIELDS SUCH A GREAT MATCHMAKER?

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

I was recently asked what makes me a good matchmaker.  I took that question very seriously and gave it some thought before responding.  Looking back over 34 years of Denver matchmaking I don’t think it’s just the matching that is my strength or the strength of this Denver matchmaking service.

  • Giving all clients the time for their best match to present in the service by virtue of my open-ended contract has something to do with it;
  • Being a good listener;
  • Interviewing each and every client face-to-face;
  • The amount of information shared with each client contributes to making the best choices;
  • Not choosing for my clients, but deciding collaboratively their best matches;
  • Following the criteria and preferences set forth by each client and not wasting their time with people who don’t fit for them;
  • Allowing clients to meet as many people as they feel could be their best mate;
  • The reasonable…

OMG LOOK WHAT DENVER MATCHMAKERS ARE CHARGING!

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

This information was taken directly from the VIDA website in 2020(Those fees have probably increased since this posting):

THE DENVER DATING COMPANY:https://kdvr.com/news/local/denver-singles-site-had-barely-any-women-on-it-lawsuit-claims/embed/#?secret=MXVyUZsDwo

Just received a call from a woman who went in to do a consultation with them. She expressed that they were disorganized and lied about a number of things such as length of time in business stating they’ve been in business 22 years. So I went on the BBB site and they have anF ratingand have onlybeen in business ONE YEAR! Also on the BBB they listed the owner as Mrs. Owner so they won’t disclose who owns and operates that service. I’m surprised the BBB accepted that!DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (OR ANY COMPANY). THEY DO NOT NEED IT TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK!!!

YOU CAN COUNT ON BON JOUR MATCHMAKING CLIENTS TO WALK THE TALK!

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

As mentioned in previous posts I have a Behavioral Agreement that each client signs at the time of their interview.  The reason for this is two-fold.

The first reason for this Agreement is that clients are viewing or hearing a 6 page profile and viewing pictures.  If they get excited about meeting someone that excitement is only going to last, maybe, a couple of weeks.  After that it starts to wain, and they start thinking of other things and other people.  They lose interest.  So, to keep them excited the follow through needs to happen in a specific period of time.  If not, you run the risk of having them lose interest.

The second reason is feedback from clients who have used the Internet dating sites and local Denver matchmaking services that people just disappear with no explanation.  Or they don’t follow through on phone calls or making plans.  I…

CLIENTS WHO WITHHOLD INFORMATION ARE DROPPED FROM BON JOUR MATCHMAKING

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

This year I have had two women under forty withhold the most important information a client can give me…what’s that?  One told me that she had a baby when the baby was 5 months old during a call I happened to make to her.  So she went 9 months and then 5 months and who knows how much longer she would have gone without disclosing this while I was presenting her profile to possible matches.  I write regular mass emails to my clients and remind them to update me with any new information.  She never did so.

Today, after receiving a number of emails from another female client under forty over the past month, I received a new narrative she wrote for her profile and a couple of updated photos.  I looked at the photos first and she was holding a newborn baby.  I assumed it was a friend’s or…

COLORADO MATCHMAKING/DATING SERVICES SPREADING THEMSELVES THIN

There are services, one in particular, that are branching off in many directions basically to make more money. These services cannot possibly be focusing on matchmaking their singles when they are branching out into other business ventures.

Also, singles, don’t confuse Denver matchmaking services with Denver dating services. There is a definite difference between the two. Click on the above link for an explanation.

The first thing a single should decide when considering hiring a professional is…are you looking for a dating service or a matchmaking service. When someone calls me and asks how many people they will meet a week or a month, I know instantly they are really looking for a dating service. That is NOT Bon Jour Matchmaking.

The goal of Bon Jour clients is marriage or a lifetime partner. They are not looking to “date” a ton of people, they have likely already done that either through dating apps or other local dating services.

If you go to the HOME page on this site, there are several links that will assist you in deciding whether Bon Jour Matchmaking is what you are looking for. I am focused on each and every client because matchmaking is what I’ve done for 34 years!

Class action lawsuit claims It’s Just Lunch defrauded customers

Local matchmaker service faces legal action as many of its customers call It's Just Lunch a waste of money

By:Jennifer KovaleskiPosted at6:00 PM, Feb 15, 2021and last updated10:51 PM, Feb 15, 2021

DENVER — Elizabeth Young first saw ads for It’s Just Lunch in airplane magazines.

After not having luck with other online dating apps, Young, a 41-year-old school counselor, said she decided to write a check to It’s Just Lunch Denver. It cost Young $2,700 for a lifetime membership and then a fee of roughly $90 per month.

The dating service sells itself as an elite international matching service that has offices across the country, including in Denver.

“What they say is ‘It’s Just Lunch is the world’s No. 1 personal matchmaking service. It’s personal, it’s private, it’s convenient, it’s real.’ They just forgot it’s a scam,” said Young, while reading the company’s website.

She saw the purchase as a major investment with the promise of handpicked…

STUNNING MATCHMAKER NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK

I was contacted this week by a New York writer doing an article on “high end” matchmaking services. He wanted my take on several comments to him by some “high end” matchmakers.

He shared that one of the “matchmakers” said she has 2,000 women and only 30 men. Well, I knew right away what was going on there. She isn’t charging the women and she’s charging the men twice as much to make up for the lack of income from the women. There is a trend in that direction with some companies.

Then he shared that a “matchmaker” told him the women aren’t her clients since they don’t pay. She only considers the men her clients, since they were charged. I’m sure if you ask the women who signed up with her, they would “think” that she’s representing them. But, apparently, not true. She’s just collecting women to throw at her paying male clients. That exists here in Denver as well.

He mentioned “schools” that teach people how to be matchmakers. What do I think of those? I said they are a money-making gimmick. It’s not rocket science…you do your homework by studying various matchmaking services (and now there are hundreds) and decide which aspects of those appeal to you, fit your personality as a business owner and matchmaker and off you go. If you know anything about websites and SEOs that’s how you can start marketing. This concept of teaching has only been around for maybe 10 years? I started in 1989 and was the first solo, old-fashioned matchmaker. I had only 1 service to study that was impersonal and expensive and that was enough to start a 34-year career!

Also, I tried to hammer home the point that singles need to be good consumers. If you are looking for a matchmaking service and the title of the service has the word dating…it’s NOT a matchmaking service, it’s a dating service!

He asked if I felt that those “high end” services were giving my profession a bad name…YES!

DENVER MATCHMAKING SERVICES WITH DATA BASES…ASK THIS QUESTION…WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT YOUR SERVICE THEN THE OTHERS?

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

Most other Denver matchmakers accumulate singles into what they refer to as their “data base”. They may not even charge to do that if they feel that assisting you is a long shot. It’s more to be able to tell prospective paying clients how many people they represent (but they leave out that many of those haven’t made a financial commitment).

These services do not have enough clients so they use this to prop up their meager clientele. I guess it’s worth doing if there is no charge. They generally do not do an extensive interview on you or the others, don’t present you with a profile or pictures…and really isn’t that what you are there for? To find out more about these individuals in depth unlike the apps and dating sites?

Also, when judging whether to join a service, ask, what’s different about your service that I can’t get…
