Marketdata
analysts interviewed Kailen Rosenberg, the head of
Global Love Mergers in Minnesota. Ms. Rosenberg
operates her matchmaking service out of her home and
prefers not to divulge her address. She has been in
the matchmaking business for 16 years but did not
have a website until a few years ago. She serves
male and female clients, with about two-thirds being
male. Clients range in age from the late 20’s to the
70’s, but most are in their 40’s and 50’s.
Regarding the
status of matchmaking, she claims that the recession
had no impact on her business. She also claims that
a lot of people are “coming out of the woodwork” to
make a quick buck in matchmaking. She feels that the
dating websites have actually helped independent
matchmakers, since there are problems with clients
being truthful online, coupled with the desire for
more personal attention.
Ms. Rosenberg had
also planned to form an industry trade association
called The National Association of Ethical and
Professional Matchmakers. She has been in
contact with various state attorney generals offices
around the country. Ms. Rosenberg says that there
are three types of introduction services, as
follows:
Ms. Rosenberg
feels that Marketdata’s estimate of $200,000 per
year for a typical matchmaker’s revenues is probably
accurate. However, top matchmakers earn millions.
Profit margins can be substantial, but there are
some expenses, such as renting an office,
advertising, travel, and the salaries of assistants.
Most matchmakers do need an assistant and that
person is usually much more than a secretary. An
assistant may have a background in psychology,
counseling, and business, and must be a “people
person.” These assistants often $40,000+ per year.
Kailen Rosenberg
started her image/matchmaking business in 1993 and
founded Global Love Mergers, Inc. in 2001. Ms.
Rosenberg has 16 years of experience and knowledge
in the dating service industry and is a former
professional print and television broadcast model.
She is the creator, editor and founder of the
Minnesota Registry, an upscale single’s magazine.
She is also the President/Founder of the National
Association of Elite and Professional Matchmakers (NAEPM).
Originally from Minnesota, she is happily married to
her “soul mate” and is the mother of three sons.
Ms. Rosenberg
states, “My reason for creating the National
Association of Elite and Professional Matchmakers
was to bring a higher level of awareness and
integrity to an industry that has been tainted by
those who are more interested in fulfilling
contracts rather than the hearts and desires of
their clients. My goal is to create a higher
standard of the industry, focusing on honesty,
integrity and always putting the client first.”
Kailen’s process
begins with a self-image and relationship readiness
assessment. Each client is thoroughly prescreened,
interviewed, referenced checked, has had a home
visit performed, and has gone through several hours
of time spent personally with Kailen Rosenberg in
preparation for meeting their potential soul mate.
Ms. Rosenberg has done all her business through
referrals since 1999 with no need to advertise.

Process, representation and fees
The first step is
spending time truly getting to know the person. The
process begins with a scheduled phone interview that
will last anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Going
over “the basics” of who you are, as well as looking
for a natural chemistry between the client and
Kailen professionally. “If I like what I hear, and
we each desire to move forward to the next step,
then, an in-person “relationship
readiness/self-image assessment” will be arranged
and scheduled. Following this in-person interview
and consultation, we will begin to know if moving
forward is still desired. If so, a “home visit” will
be required and scheduled.”
Many times Ms.
Rosenberg will even spend time meeting your friends
and family, that is, if you choose to share this
journey with those close to you. At the end of the
home visit, a final “mutual” decision will be made
as to whether or not to move forward in
representation on this path to find your true soul
mate. If you move ahead, a love and life plan will
be mutually designed showing when, where, and how
you are going to find that special person.
