- Answer a few short questions: where you want to be, what's in the way, and anything you're already considering. She plays it back so you can correct her.
- She shows you what fits, starting with businesses people you know have bought from or vouch for. Ask for more if you want them.
- Say yes to the ones you'd like to meet. The business gets a brief of your need without your name.

- After the first call, tell her how it went. If it isn't right, she keeps looking.
Questions people ask
How does Willette find the right vendor for me?
She asks a few questions first: where you want to be, what's in the way, and what you're already considering. Then she plays back what she heard so you can correct her. Then she searches, starting with businesses people in your network have bought from or vouch for.
If nobody fits, she says so plainly rather than stretching a weak match.

What does a vendor learn about me before I say yes?
Nothing that identifies you. Before you agree, nobody hears about you at all. When you say yes to an introduction, the vendor gets a short brief of your need, with no name, company or contact details. Only when they accept the lead do they get your details, and you choose whether they see just your need or your business too.

Sellers pay Warmlink. Does that bias Willette?
Sellers pay only when they accept a lead, and that's the same whichever seller fits you, so she has no reason to push one over another. She shows you what fits, says plainly when nothing does, and asks what you're already considering before suggesting anything of her own.
After an introduction she checks in to hear how it went, and a seller several buyers weren't happy with is suggested less, or not at all.
What if the vendor turns out to be wrong for me?
Tell Willette. She checks in after the first call and after you decide, and if it didn't work out she goes straight back to looking, with what she learned. What you tell her shapes who she suggests to others, so a poor experience protects the next buyer too.
