"Well Kneaded Massage" - opinions?

what if a company like well kneaded was providing things like cards for you with your name on it, linens, oils, etc.  Giving you access to your own account online to edit schedules and clients.  What Do you guys think of that?

That would be more along the lines of actually getting a therapist to work for you part-time, if they're going to invest that much. I signed a contract and work with a seated massage referral company. They get clients that call them wanting chair massage, they call me to see if I can do it, and if so, they tell me when and where. I do not get the contact name of the business I drive to, I simply show up. All communication is done through the chair massage company, like a "base." When I went to my first gig through them, I went to the business and there was nobody there. I was 15 minutes early, as was requested by the company itself, for setup. I waited about 15 minutes, still nobody there, so I called "base." They got in contact with the person that set the gig up, and relayed info to me. The chair massage company mailed me about 5 business cards with their company logo and my name on it, and mailed me a nice polo shirt. They cannot provide linens, oils, and such because it would be way too expensive for them, and there's no guarantee that I will work with them in the future. It works out nicely for both parties.EDIT: P.S. I do not get paid directly by the company I'm doing the massage at, I get paid by the chair massage company. I am allowed to accept tips if offered.

BJB-LMP,I got called by these guys too back in May. The woman went on this non-stop flury about a potential outcall a good hour's drive from me for a 90 minute Swedish massage. I let her ramble about their policy, the price, etc... and then told her that I was a reflexologist, am not licensed for massage and wondered if they had missed that part altogether on my ABMP listing. I asked her how she had permission from ABMP to call up therapists, and she said on the website it "encourages you to call the therapist."I realize most members of ABMP are massage therapists but I thought it humorous that they didn't bother to stop and actually read the listings before they dialed the numbers.

Perhaps there was some confusion.  We do not send clients to therapists location.
