Lots of Questions
I am getting a lot of questions from therapists just starting out and thought maybe a discussion group could serve as a reference point for them.
This time of transition is a delicate time. So many therapists lose confidence. Do not let this be you. This group is here to help you make it. You ARE one of us!
There is now an alliance forming for therapists and students at the Massage Therapy Alliance of America. Click on this link for details http://www.mtaamassage.org

Strange feelings and emotions running around in me....and I'm a bit grouchy.
Just finished having a late lunch with a terminally ill friend of mine. Six months ago he was the model for health and wellness. Started feeling bad, went to the doc, found out he's filled from head to toe with cancer.
Not good. We're doing our best, as is everyone he's friends with, but it's rough. Perhaps someone can begin a thread or topic on working with the terminally ill. It's not my area.
To top this off, the server we had didn't have an ounce of customer service in him. Tsk, tsk....
Got me thinking of other examples of poor customer service, thus this post.
This post is for everyone, although I thought I'd stick it in here, for those new to the massage industry. Get started on the right foot, so to speak.
Here's the deal...
I receive on a monthly basis requests from massage students still in school to assist them with surveys, interviews of current MT's, etc., etc.
I'm always happy to assist, and I do what I can with what I know.
Here's the kicker...
When you get your survey or interview complete, send a "Thank You" message to those that helped you. Send an E-mail, message on Facebook, etc., etc.
It's not hard to do and it means a lot.
The majority of folks do this, but the number who don't, in my humble opinion, is still way to high.
This alone will take you far in this massage business or industry.
Here's a link to some of my ramblings on building relationships and customer service. It needs some love now that I look at it, but there's still some good information on it.
Customer Service and Building Relationships
Thank YOU for your time.

Kevin,
building clientele requires promoting yourself. It takes a lot of time and effort.
Working F/T and building your own business has its challenges.
