The Benefits of Massage

 

I am so sick of hearing the benefits of massage.  You know the standard things they taught in basic massage school:

  • Increases circulation
  • Decreases stress
  • Relaxes, rejuvenates
  • relieves muscle spasm
  • reduces blood pressure
  • increases athletic performance
  • improves posture
  • reduces inflammation
  • enhances well being
  • slows heart rate, respiration and heart rate
  • reduces the recovery time after workouts
  • reduces the recovery time of injuries
  • relieves pain
  • strengthens the immune system
  • increases mobility and range of motion

People don't really care!!!   What they care about what will it do for them!!   People will seek massage when they have a problem, injury or want to take better care of themselves.  How exactly are you going to do that?  What solution do your provide for these individuals?

People are seeking information.  They want to be able to trust you.  Each person needs something different to happen in order to feel that trust.

Knowing what it is that you do will be the key to getting clients in the door.  Knowing how to talk about what you do is also part of marketing successfully.

I have told this story elsewhere in this website but it is worth repeating.  I used to have my office at a health club and I would see this guy going out running everyday.  He would stop and chat and talk about how he "should" come and get a massage, yet he never would commit.  I finally just said to him "It will make you run faster."  He became a regular client!  

What solution do you provide?  The answer is probably not what you think.  A great manual to help you get in touch with what solution you provide is the Service Sellers Master Class that is free from www.sitesell.com  

Once you figure out this key element, you will be using it in all of your marketing efforts.
