Doompadee Doo And so begins the perilous journey of marketing myself. I have never really thought that I was very good at selling things, especially myself, so I wonder how I am going to get people to want to try massage therapy as a viable option for health maintenance. I would prefer that my work speak for itself, but I need to get people in my office in order for that to happen. I am printing up flyers to put out in mailboxes around the health club I work at, and we are going to do a "10% off your first massage" bonus with each new gym membership. The gym averages 3 new memberships a day, so hopefully that will draw clients into my office. I massaged one of the owners today- the one that I think wasn't too keen on me in the first place. I think he enjoyed the massage, even though he had "constructive criticism" to offer. I have experienced him as a person who can always do it better than, more than, faster than, etc....so I have chosen to take him with the proverbial grain of salt. And how odd that I am working in a gym. I never ever would have placed myself in that type of environment. If you have seen the movie "Dodgeball", well, I belong in Vince Vaughn's gym more so than Globogym, which is a lot like where I work- without the plastic surgery and Ben Stiller. Still, it is a bit intimidating for a working-class gal like myself. Most of the members are wealthy and physically stunning, but at least there are a few average people around, so I don't feel quite like an Ooompa Loompa...yet. said the Dread Pirate Ro at 8:33 PM on September 09, 2004 Aarrgh! 1 scurvy dogs said "Ahoy, matey!"
