A lot of this industry is about how personable you are. You have to remember that people are trusting you with a very large sum of money in their eyes and it will probably be the single largest purchase of their lives.
If you are a good people person I would say you could do well in this business, my biggest asset is I can talk to people and make them feel comfortable with me.........I'm not overly smart or overly motivated, but I have a winning smile and a smooth talker
If I had been interested in the massage therapy business, if I were u I would try to hook up with a big spa or something, I know they have to have them around there.......I know I go to the spa on a weekly basis for various services and the bill is easily around 150-200/week and I always tip them good.......so if you have a ton of other clients like me, you can bank pretty good. Is that what you have been trying to do or are you trying to do it as an independant?
