This review is from: Marketing Massage: From First Job to Dream Practice (Paperback)

Before I bought this book I was hoping that it was written by an actual massage therapist and not just another marketing person writing another marketing book for another profession that they know nothing about. Yea! I got what I wanted! Not only is Monica Roseberry a very knowledgeable massage therapist but she also knows marketing inside and out! My business is soaring now! She has opened my eyes to how my clients think and what they really need. This is key. Now I look better, I act better, I cater better to my clients. They book more. They pay more. They refer more than ever before! If you've got the energy to do more massage...If you've got the will to provide better, nicer, more professional service to your clients...If you want to learn how to advertize and draw people in like crazy... If you want to learn how to make more money than ever before buy this book. In the book Monica gives you her email address and phone number! Blew my mind. I emailed her and to my surprise the next day she called me on the phone! How many authors would do that? I've seen advertising programs on the internet. El rip-offo! I think I paid like $20 for this book. Now that's a deal. No, it's not a miracle. You have to be a really wonderful person to have lots of clients. You have to know how to take excellent care of yourself...organic food, yoga, self massage, prayer, meditation, and whatever else you can do to stay healthy. Healing work is not easy and that's why 95% of those that start it drop out. If you want to be in the top .5% buy this book. Pretty soon I'm going to move to a new place and start a new practice. Asheville, NC is said to be totally saturated with massage therapists. Am I worried? Yes, a bit but now that I've read this book I feel ten times more confident than before. I can do it and so can you. If you read this book and really do what it says to do you will be way beyond many therapists that have years of practice under thier belt. No joke! Good luck and happy healing.
