Due in 2 hours. HELP!

[Pompal 09.]

I left a message in the chair massage section, but I'm desperate and am leaving it here as well.

I have a practical due in 2 hours, and I'm stuck like chuck. Basically I have to pretend my instructor is a factory owner. I'm meeting with her to get her to use my services for her employees. I have to say these 7 benefits listed below, tell her what I will charge, and sell it to her. I just don't know what to say besides hi I'm Ocean, a state licensed and national certified massage therapist. Thank you for meeting with me today. THEN WHAT?

Any idea will be great great great. I'm off to pound my head against a wall, but I'll check back here in a few minutes.

Improves alertness and ability to focus, an antidote for work slumps

Helps relieve common problem conditions such as tension headaches and stiff and sore muscles

Improves immune system functioning for better general health and resistance to colds and other illnesses

Employees feel revitalized and ready to return to work

Hi Ocean,

It would be great if you have some printed materials to give her when you meet with her. A little sheet with the benefits of seated massage, your rates and options for payment, etc. A brochure for your practice, business card (you might not have these if you're still a student, but maybe you could mock something up real quick?).

check out this link for some really great information: http://www.nomad.me.uk/images/corporate/massage_workplace.pdf

Just say something like "Hello, I am Ocean. I'm a licensed massage and bodywork therapist. I have a proposal for you that will benefit both your company and its employees."

Then, as the interview progresses, tell her the benefits, etc.

I've found that interviewers in real life often make it pretty easy on the interview-ee. Just answer the questions with a smile.

Hope that helps a little.

I know it sounds simple enough but how about a demonstration of a seated massage either in a regular chair without rollers/coasters or a massage chair. Perform a basic 5-minute session. That should get you the 'job'. Good luck

How did it go?

I got a 100%! Basically I took a pricing sheet in, and an interesting fact paper that I made. I introduced myself, said I thought she was making a great first step in allowing massage for her employees, that it was going to make them feel better and feel more appreciated, and save the company money in the long run. I went over the sheets with her, said my 7 benefits, and then gave her a massage.

Thanks again guys. You are always lifesavers.
