Important Steps You Might Miss When Marketing Your Home Business - Must Read!
Wedensday, June 21, 2006Steps To Take To Market A Home Business.First of all, lets get this straight. You must be serious about making good money. If your not, this isn't for you. When most people go into business, they know all about the product or service that they are going to sell. The trouble is they don't know much about getting it sold. Marketing is basically about people. It's about knowing human nature and using this knowledge to benefit yourself and others. If you have a business, then you are also a marketing company. Every business is in the business trying to get customers and selling products or services to them. There are only three ways your business can increase sales...1. You get more customers or visitors to your site2. Your website is placed on the top 10 of the search engines3. And your website displays a professional and yet persuasiveness that will catch the visitors eye.So, there you go- these are basically the three most important that you would need. Here's the question. How in the world am I going to do that? Well, that's why I'm here, to help you

on you can then transform your client during their massage session.

How will you transform as a person you may ask? A holistic massage therapy school teaches you from a Mind/Body/Spirit approach that is heart-centered and takes into account the entire person not simply their muscles. It's not just what techniques you use in a massage that matter, but how you apply those techniques. The "how" involves the kind of environment you create during your session so your client feels safe and open to receive your massage.

That massage would then be called a "Mindful Massage". Being mindful means you learn how to become calm, centered, open-hearted and fully focused on your client throughout the massage. Mindfulness also involves being "embodied." Embodiment means you are not just in your "head" but alive and aware in your body and connected with the entire Wisdom of your Being. All of this allows you to trust your intuition to create a unique massage every time for your client instead of the same "routine."

Your clients will receive a much deeper experience from someone who is trained in the holistic approach. If you have a client that has only known the technical massage, they will be absolutely blown away by the multi- dimensional, heart centered holistic massage that you give them!

In a technical massage the massage therapist works "on" you. In a heart-centered holistic massage, the therapist works "with" you.

I have a test you can try on your self right now that illustrates the difference perfectly!

You should decide how much you want to invest in the business and how much you will need to keep for your needs till the business is profitable.2. Do as much fact-finding as possible

Before I tell you more, let's talk about you!

People have told you that you're good with your hands! You love making people feel good and you would love making money while you do!

So now you say to yourself, "I need to find the right school for me."

You start calling schools and every single school tells you they are the best school and each school claims that when you graduate you'll have all the skills you need to start your exciting new career. Wow! An exciting new career awaits you!

But whoa! Stop! Hold your horses! Which school do you pick? They all say they're the best! Can they all be? Can they all be the best for you?

How do you choose the school that will give you the highest level of training so you'll be one of the most sought after massage therapists in the field?

How will you know the difference between a school that offers you an exceptional education and a school that offers you a slick marketing campaign but gives you a mediocre education?

Well, I've got a secret. I've worked on the inside as an "Admissions Director" in a number of schools from big corporate schools to small schools and I know what they do to try to "convince you" to go to their school regardless of the quality of education you'll receive and regardless of what would be best for you!

They don't want you to know the inside secrets which I'm about to share with you.

Now, don't get me wrong, there a number of exceptional massage therapy schools throughout the country and the 3 powerful questions you'll receive momentarily will help you find those diamonds amongst the glass!

Here's more of the secret! All massage therapy schools are a business. Well, nothings wrong with that, but the problem comes when a school cares more about the bottom line than the success of their students.

So what do some schools do? Sometimes they invest more money in their marketing than they do in the quality of your education. Why would any school do that? It's a whole lot easier to create slick marketing ads than it is to create an exceptional curriculum and education!

A number of schools pay big bucks to giant marketing companies to spin their school so you will enroll! What are most people impressed by? Pretty, shiny brochures, with pretty shiny people in it and polished sales presentations.

Now there's nothing wrong with all that, but will any of those marketing devices really let you know the true quality of education you'll actually receive?

No, but people usually base their decision to enroll in a school based on the sales pitch they are given and if they "like" the "admissions advisor". Now some of you may know this already, but the titles; "admissions rep" or admissions advisor are simply fancy names for trained sales people that have big quotas to meet and in some schools you are simply a number to help them meet that quota! I should know, I used to train them!

Now even though your "admissions rep" may be a really wonderful person, how can you possibly know the quality of the education you'll receive from a person telling you what they want you to hear.

This brings us to the 3 powerful, secret questions you *must* ask to find the truly exceptional school:

#1. How many modalities will you be able to *practice* upon graduation? (A modality is a style of massage)

Why is it so important to learn multiple modalities? If you only learn one style of massage, you will be working in the same way every day. If you do anything repetitively, you risk injury or burnout and with only one style of massage, believe me, you will get burned out! If you learn multiple styles you will enjoy massaging your clients for years!

Imagine if you were a hair stylist but were only taught how to cut one style of hair. Let's say a bowl-cut. Two things would happen. One, you would get very bored and two, not all of your clients would want that particular style. One style does not fit all.

The same goes for your massage therapy clients. Each of them will need different styles depending on who they are and what they need from their massage therapy session. Some will need the energizing effects of Shiatsu. Some will need the deeper work of Neuro-muscular therapy. Some clients may need the clearing work of polarity. Make sure the school you select offers multiple modalities!

Now here's another secret! A slick marketing trick that a number of schools use. Most schools offer only one type of massage training and little teaser intros on some other types during your education. They usually include these teasers in their brochures and presentations. You will probably think you learn all of those styles during your training but in reality, they do *not* teach you the other styles. You will only be qualified to practice *one* type of massage upon your graduation.

Remember, ask the school how many modalities you will be qualified to practice when you graduate!

#2. How does the school teach body mechanics, that is how will they teach you the techniques of massaging clients so you won't burn-out?

Did you know that over 100,000 new massage therapists have left the field in the last 4 years? Why? Simple answer. Because of burnout. They were not taught the proper way of using their bodies to massage their clients. Make sure the school you select can clearly explain to you how they'll teach you good body mechanics.

#3. Does the school offer a holistic approach to your training and have them explain it to you. (This is the MOST important question because most schools teach a one dimensional technical approach.)

You need to decide if you want a technical training, which teaches you how to do a technical massage which is very one dimensional or a holistic training which teaches multiple modalities and has a multi-dimensional approach.

Graduates of technical based massage therapy schools receive a competent knowledge of the body and learn a thorough technical approach to giving massages to their clients, but they tend to give their clients impersonal, technical massages. They simply learn how to move muscles around.

Graduates of a holistic training not only learn the science of massage, you will actually transform as a person which will make you a better therapist. From that foundation you can then transform your client during their massage session.

In a technical massage the massage therapist works "on" you. In a heart-centered holistic massage, the therapist works "with" you.

Medical Billing - GP0 Record Fields 1 Through 7
In addition to enteral nutrition claims for medical billing, there are also claims that fall under the category of parenteral nutrition. These claims are sent using GP0 records instead of GE0 records. The first question that many people ask is what the difference is between enteral nutrition and parental nutrition. So before we go into the GP0 CMN in detail, a brief explanation of the differences between the two is probably in order.Enteral nutrition is where the feeding of the patient is done through feeding tubes. The food still goes through the patient's digestive system, including the stomach. With parental nutrition, the method of feeding is done by intravenous. The food totally bypasses the digestive system. This type of feeding is usually done with patients who have just had surgery and can't have any food go through their stomach. It is also done in cases where the patient is critically ill. Having cleared that up, we'll now go into our detailed review of the GP0 record.GP0 field 1, positions 1 - 3, is the record type. This field is to be filled with GP0. Note: This record must come
