Just what he's looking for?

Hi All,
Have an appointment to see the manager of a newly-opened health and fitness club (weight-loss being the main focus) with a view to giving some reflexology treatments. Can anyone advise of the best way to ''recommend" what we do - in terms of how it could benefit the people who have signed up for the six-week weight-loss course?
It sounds like a good chance for me - in fact, the best one so far! (I qualified in June last year) and so I want to put a good 'pitch' (hiding my nerves - Lol)

Would you suggest, say, a 30-minute treatment working all digestive reflexes, glands, nervous system, chest reflexes and nervous system for de-stressing? I hope I can convince him that the treatments will be an asset to the club and his members! Any ideas/suggestions would be most welcome.

Thank you all

xx

Thanks for asking, RP.

Bit of a tangle at the moment, to be honest. Being a novice to business matters (lol )has its drawbacks!

I liked the guy and he seems quite keen to have reflexology to offer to his weight-loss clients, but the Club has been open just l month (its a Franchise)
We discussed (a) me using a small office at the side of the main Gym Area to offer 30 minutes sessions to help relax/boost morale/support clients' weightloss efforts. He would take £5 per £15 treatment, which is ok, I suppose, if you get enough people interested. (b) I explained that I have my own home-based therapy room, and at this stage he was unsure whether it would work better to 'recommend' his members to my home practise (so as to give a full hour treatment) and advertise it. For this he was suggesting he take £10 per £30 treatment. It sounds a lot to me, but perhaps this is 'normal'
He was being very open, and said at the minute he wasn't sure if the Franchise Boss(es) would allow Reflexology as part of the club set-up, but was going to find out. We will meet in another week. All up in the air. Any thoughts gratefully received!

Hi ya AT

What is stopping you doing 1 hour treatments at the club, instead of 30minutes? If you are giving him £10 out of every £30 received, I suppose that is not to bad, better than paying up front for the use of the room whether you have clients or not like a lot of therapists have to do. I wouldn't pay them £10 out of every £30 for recommendations to your home client. That's too expensive and how could it be regulated anycase?

Best Wishes
