Kristi D Price
An executive consultant and relationship coach for two decades, Kristi Price expanded her service to include matchmaking after going through a divorce herself.
As she explained in an interview, “One of the reasons I started my business was to help others avoid the painful mistakes I made. Relating to my clients motivates them to make the right choices and changes.”
She is based out of Philadelphia, but also offers services to Boca Raton singles via her Palm Beach office.
Clientele
Price describes her clients as successful, optimistic and active. They are typically ages 25 to 60 and “looking for happiness.”
She typically works with 30 to 40 coaching clients a year, taking on only 10 to 15 matchmaking clients at a time. Those seeking matchmaking services are generally men who want to meet “The One.”
Cost & Contract Details
Submitting a profile via her website for inclusion in her rolodex is free. And while you could be matched with one of her paying clients if you fit their criteria, she won’t be proactively searching for people who meet your criteria. In other words, you may never be contacted as a free database member.
She offers a free 20-minute phone consultation. If you decide to sign up for matchmaking service, you’ll need to schedule a $250 initial consultation. Among other things, you’ll discuss the contract length and service cost.
What To Expect
Those interested in signing up for her Boca Raton matchmaking service start with a phone consultation. Be prepared to discuss what personality traits you’re looking for in a match, as well as other details such as your life & dating goals.
If you move forward with matchmaking services, you’ll go over your package and contract details during the 75-minute initial consultation.
Then you’ll be matched with compatible Boca Raton singles from her internal database, or pulled from her network of matchmaking contacts. All of the introduction logistics like the date activity are planned for you.
After each meeting, you’re requested to provide feedback on your match and the experience. And according to her website, you’ll also receive any “constructive, non-judgmental feedback” Price feels will benefit you on future dates.
In addition to her Florida matchmaking services, Price also offers dating coaching, image consulting and personal styling.
