"My focus until recently had been on establishing my career. I had reached
a major milestone and was very happy with that, but when it came to
celebrating with someone special, I realised how much I had sacrificed to get
there. I had simply been too busy to meet people. I didn't have time to spend
all kinds of unsuitables.
There are plenty of introduction services around, but they can be even
more impersonal and time consuming than the bar scene.
I had heard of Simply Drinks and was curious about what made Joanne's
services different to the rest. I was initially hesitant, even sceptical, but
Joanne gains trust and confidence very quickly with her proven, discerning
approach.
It was all so simple and comfortable. No pressure.
- You deal with Joanne direct - not a computer, a call centre, or an
inexperienced standard recruitment style assistant;
- Joanne has a small and very discerning client list of quality,
professional people. They are all very eligible, just too busy to get
relationships together on their own;
Joanne genuinely is a ‘people person’. She is skilled at distilling quite
quickly the type of person you are, and the type of person that you are likely
to be compatible with;
She won't waste your time introducing for the sake of churning through her
books if it's not right.
On my first visit to Joanne, she said she had three possible
introductions, but one in particular that she was very keen for me to meet. I
wanted to hear about all three, but she was so sure the person she had in mind
was right, she asked that I meet this person before learning more about the
others. Her strength of conviction on this one had me thinking she must be
sure - why else would she not just go with the rest and hope for the best -
this wasn't a sales gig.
I met this gentleman 'simply for a drink'. Before we knew it, three
hours had passed and we were having dinner. He was every bit the person Joanne
had described. There was no need to go back and enquire about the other
available people, as she had matched this perfectly. Joanne has stayed in
touch with keen interest over the months and was on our list of people to call
when we recently announced our engagement!"
