Hello everyone!
My employer is interested in doing a Groupon deal for reflexology and is giving me the option of particpating. The service will be deeply discounted and I will make very little money. The ad will run for two weeks and the coupon expires in six months. I'd like to know your experience with this marketing strategy. I'm new to this workplace and would appreciate your feedback on whether to participate; and if I do, how to make sure that all these coupon holders are not sent my way.I want to ensure that the coupon holders are distributed evenly amont the participating therapists. Thanks!

Mitch, I'd suggest to come and listen some of our podcasts. We had very interesting interviews with male therapists who I consider very successful on this field, they share some of what they've done.

Hey all.
I've been a LMBT in Raleigh, NC since June of 2011. I'm new and loving every minute of it.
I've been fortunate enough to be in a position to be able to start my own business, however... not so fortunate where I could afford to have a studio of my own right away. For now, I focus on outcalls. I opted to start my own business after hearing about high turnover, hostile work environments and gender discrimination.
My client base albeit moderate in size is currently 100% male. I'm pretty comfortable working with males vs. females, although I certainly will work with the ladies. My comfortable familiarity with the male body and concern about the potentially perceived sexual complications with females were certainly considerations in my decision to groom an exclusively male client base. It's had it's pitfalls as just about anything does.
I'm interested in what folks have to say about the development of their career paths... i.e - continuing education sequence (short term vs. long term goals), client interaction, pitfalls that have been experience, growing your business, and lots of other things that will come in time, I'm sure.
I'm very glad to see this discussion forum and am looking forward to reading more.
