Today's episode presses on that ever-present button of sales. For some of us that's a word as "bad" as any. For others, it's more of a mystery. Either way, we need sales to make sure our massage practices are thriving!
I interview Laura Allen, a massage therapist of 20 years (13 of those years as an owner of a successful wellness clinic) about what she thinks are the most important aspects of this whole "sales" issue in a massage business. You can find Laura at http://lauraallenmt.com/.

It's inevitable. We ALL have insecurities in running our businesses. And the faster we can see them and start to work with them when they arise, the better our practices will do.

As always, I'd love to hear what you think!

Whew! We got deep with this one. Amber Cook (of healingwaze.com) and I talked about our massage practice thoughts on "customer service" and "client relationships".
And it got real, real fast.
To have a full practice for the long term, it's essential to retain clients at a very high rate. What we talk about in this episode is meant to help you understand the ins-and-outs of doing just that. Because as much as it may seem like a no-brainer, there's a lot that goes in to building client relationships that stand the test of time and circumstance.
