BACKGROUNDER
Virtual Dating Assistants (ViDA) is the first online dating management agency that allows cash-rich, time-poor individuals to completely outsource their internet dating. Known as the "Concierge of Online Dating," ViDA shines the best light on its clients and uses proprietary techniques to take the relationship off the web and into the real world.

The brainchild of online dating pro and time-crunched executive Scott Valdez, Virtual Dating Assistants was spawned out of the desire to meet new people online without the pain of sitting in front of the computer for hours on end. Valdez, a savvy marketing exec who had grown tired of the bar scene and turned to online dating, found it difficult to keep up with his multiple online dating accounts after a long day's work. After hours sitting at a desk, the last thing he wanted to do was spend more time staring at a computer screen perusing profiles. Accustomed to outsourcing tasks such as paying his bills, booking travel and rescheduling meetings, he decided to employ a personal assistant to manage his online dating life. Delegating the worst part of online dating allowed him to enjoy the best - going on dates and meeting new people in person. It also permitted him to fully concentrate his efforts in the office without worrying that he was missing out on a prospective relationship.

"I was exhausted from long hours in the office, and although I never had problems meeting women online, I just didn't have the time necessary to produce the results that I wanted," says the lively Valdez. "I wished that I had my own personal assistant to schedule everything for me, so that I could just show up at the right place, at the right time. So, I posted the position online and was contacted by a recent U.S. college graduate living abroad who was a perfect fit."

Within no time, Valdez's assistant had set him up on numerous successful dates - all with minimal effort on his part prior to meeting the matches for dinner or drinks. Once he began dating one of the women long-term, word got out to his colleagues that he had outsourced his love life. Since many of these men also spent long hours in the office and therefore had a hard time meeting new people, they were very interested in using his assistant's services. Valdez quickly realized that there was a heavy demand for this type of niche service among over-worked professionals.

Valdez immediately sought out a team of savvy online dating experts and went to work researching techniques that aimed to optimize the company's response rates. After months of analyzing communication strategies on a wide variety of popular and niche online dating sites, Valdez was ready to launch Virtual Dating Assistants (ViDA). In June 2009, he and his team of online dating gurus began to selectively acquire clients and offer comprehensive packages with guaranteed results. Within no time, the raving reviews were flooding his inbox and clients were lined up to sign up for his services.

"We know what we are doing is successful when our clients have to stop using our services because they have found the woman of their dreams," says Valdez. "Our goal is to help them find what they are looking for - whether that be marriage or casual dating. When it comes down to it, love has no price. Everyone wants relationships, in different shapes and forms, and juggling a successful career and investing time into finding the right woman can be hard to balance. That's where we come in.
We do all of the legwork and our clients reap the benefits."
With testimonials from singles all over the nation, Virtual Dating Assistants has rapidly gained notoriety. Now with three dating coaches, ten online dating experts, thirty writers and hundreds of photographers, ViDA is improving the love lives of men and women throughout the U.S. # # #

Scott Valdez, Founder & President
A born entrepreneur, Scott Valdez always knew that he would run his own business. Fascinated by the human psyche and persuasive by nature, he excelled in his early career in product sales. He marveled at the art of convincing others, and was constantly perplexed by the influence that interpersonal communication skills had when accomplishing any task at hand.
Years later, this innate desire to connect with others would lead him to create Virtual Dating Assistants, LLC.

After graduating from college and traveling throughout Europe, Scott returned to the U.S. with the desire to join the marketing department of a startup company. He liked the idea of making a big difference in a small company as opposed to joining a large corporation only to become another small fish in the pond. He also had the desire to fill a variety of roles that appealed to him, rather than focusing his efforts only on a one small aspect of a company. After carefully considering his options, he decided to take a position at an American company with offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He would work from his laptop for this professional translation services company, and occasionally join the team in its offices abroad.

In September 2006, Scott joined the sales team as an Account Executive. He promptly revamped the company's sales methods and structures, took over the marketing department, and became a Sales & Marketing Manager. In 2009, after almost three years there, he had helped grow the company by 100% and signed the largest client to date. It was during this time that he began cultivating the idea of helping singles find success in the ever-growing online dating world.

Although attempting to encounter a balance, Scott was incredibly busy and could not find time to continue his upward career trajectory and maintain a healthy social life. Working 70+ hours per week and splitting time between the U.S. and Argentina was making it difficult for him to find the time to date. An avid online dater and proponent of using social networking sites such as Facebook to meet new people, Scott turned to the web. He had no trouble meeting women, but was so consumed with work that he didn't even have enough time to manage his online dating communication. Already accustomed to outsourcing daily tasks such as bills, scheduling, and travel, it dawned on Scott that he could also outsource his love life. As he pondered the novelty, he decided to post an ad and see what kind of response he would get. Within no time, he had found an American assistant living in Buenos Aires who fit the job description perfectly.

Scott couldn't believe how easy his assistant made online dating. He trained David to peruse profiles and communicate on his behalf with minimal effort on his own part. Within no time, he his limited free time was being filled up with dates with women that intrigued him. Itching to branch out and start a business of his own, he decided to create an agency that employed virtual dating assistants. Many of his colleagues had begun to inquire about his "dating assistant," and Scott quickly realized that he could conquer a niche market of work-consumed, relationship-hungry people. From working at a very virtually-structured company before, his knowledge of collaboration tools, software and logistics prepared him to operate the agency virtually. He could save overhead costs without having a physical office space, travel at his leisure, and have the freedom to hire only the best assistants, as he would not be confined by location.

He wasted no time in beginning extensive online dating research; both to try to better understand his target market and make his newly founded company's services as effective as possible. In June 2009, he was ready to launch Virtual Dating Assistants, LLC (ViDA). Armed with a slew of online dating experts, he soon acquired customers and got to work setting them up on in-person dates. His researched methods were so successful that Scott decided to guarantee his service, offering his clients' money back if they did not go on a minimum number of in-person dates. As the accolades for ViDA's services grew, so did the number of clients.

"I never thought I would own a business where losing a client is a good thing," says the confident Scott Valdez. "But Virtual Dating Assistants is like a double-edged sword. We are always happy to bring new clients on board but we're even more ecstatic to hear that a client is going to stop using our service because he's found the woman of his dreams. The thing is, with almost every client we've lost, we have gained two more by referrals. We are experts at finding the best possible matches for our clients and connecting them in person. True happiness lies within the relationships that we form, so it only makes sense that our satisfied clients spread the word."

Scott's vision for ViDA includes diversifying the company's proven online dating techniques, and staying on top of the always changing online dating world. With a limitless desire to help people with online dating, he and his team continuously try innovative approaches to online dating, and constantly strive to make the company's services even more effective than they currently are.

"It really is the little things that make a big difference," Scott reveals. "We are always encountering new ways to woo potential candidates for our clients; whether it be in a new messaging approach, profile tweaking, or photo improvements. The online dating world is difficult to maneuver, which is why 97% of men quit online dating within the first 3 months due to lack of results.1 We have found that with the right people to guide the way, online dating can be fun, successful, and a great way to meet new people."

Scott currently splits his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Atlanta, Georgia - where ViDA's offices are headquartered. When he has a spare moment, he enjoys playing hockey, running with the bulls in Pamplona, and reading page-turning thrillers.

"...a very professional and discreet way for busy singles to meet new people."
I am busy running a company, and sorting through the endless number of profiles on online dating sites looking for interesting matches and then sending messages to them can be a full time job. I found VDA to be a very professional and discreet way for busy singles to meet new people.
Matt - Los Angeles, CA

"...finally found a solution that could really work for me... and it has, tenfold!"
I always believed in internet dating, but knew that until I found someone to help me arrange my profile and take a proactive approach to the whole thing I would have to stick with the frustrating speed dating system. I am just way too busy. When I heard about Virtual Dating Assistants, I realized that I had finally found a solution that could really work for me... and it has, tenfold!
Martin - Seattle, WA

"I've already recommended Virtual Dating Assistants to two of my closest friends."
I've already recommended Virtual Dating Assistants to two of my closest friends. They've set me up with some great dates and all I had to do was talk to my assistant on the phone for an hour or so, review some online dating profiles and answer a few questions via email. They really have a knack for weeding out the men I wouldn't be interested in meeting and focusing on the best matches. Talk about a time saver!
Barbara - New York, NY

"6 first dates and 2 second dates in the first month I used their service."
When a friend of mine forwarded me an UrbanDaddy email about Virtual Dating Assistants I was in pretty bad shape but thanks to them I was able to dive head first back into the dating scene -- 6 first dates and 2 second dates in the first month I used their service.
Peter - San Francisco, CA

"...perfect for computer illiterates like myself."
As a legal professional in her mid-50s, I'm just as energetic as ever and I've been ready to meet someone for a long time but it's just not as easy as it used to be. Bars are out of the question, men I meet on a day-by-day bases are never quite what I'm looking for, and online dating is a whole new world for me. My son tried to help me create an account but I found the whole online dating process to be daunting. That's why I found Virtual Dating Assistants to be perfect for computer illiterates like myself. They take over almost all of the workload and do a better job than I would ever be capable of doing myself.
Lynn - Chicago, IL

"This company has redefined my expectations for customer service."
When these guys arranged for a professional photographer to come to my apartment to snap some new shots for the online dating accounts they were setting up for me, I knew they were the real thing. They've always been ready to go the extra mile, whether it's been researching possible meeting locations in the area I was meeting someone, making reservations or, in one case, even providing interesting information in one of the executive briefings that they must have found by scouring the internet for her name. This company has redefined my expectations for customer service.
Ben - Jersey City, NJ

"I noticed immediate results (the kind I wanted) and all I had to do was worry about what to wear on my dates!" When I first started online dating I was overwhelmed. So many emails from all the WRONG guys! I didn't have the time, let alone patience, to wade through all the bad matches and find "the one". The team from Virtual Dating Assistants made my life easy. I noticed immediate results (the kind I wanted) and all I had to do was worry about what to wear on my dates!
Susan - Washington DC

"All I have to say is that this company sure makes online dating look easy."
I've never actually tried meeting women online myself but I've heard from all my friends that it's really tough. All I have to say is that this company sure makes online dating look easy. I was asked during the intro interview how many women I'd ideally like to meet per month. I said between six and eight. In the first three months I met exactly 20 women and I just had to review some candidates and answer some questions. Can't be much easier than that!
