General Reports

I couldn't help but smile. Until we get that extra worker, a 4-hand massage would have to include two of mine. LOL. I'm not sure that's a reward. Although L has suggested I massage some of our female clients.

[QUOTE=HeadFirst;3259980]If you're in it for the long term and not the short term it's ideas like this that'll prove to your return clients (marathoners) that they're more valuable to you than one time new (sprinters) customers. Discounts and punch cards are proven to help achieve this.

And on the subject of punch cards. I've only ever seen 10's. How about a 20. Don't throw it away at 10 but let's get you to 20 where you'll get an even better reward. Maybe a free '4-hand'. And then to 30 for a whatever. 40 - who knows. 50? Instead of resetting to 0, keep going. Make us feel a little more special for being so loyal.

There's this pizza joint I go to that gives a free slice after 10. But if I save up enough cards I can get a whole pie. Now we're talking.

It's stuff like this that could set you apart from the others.[/QUOTE]

Usually its a female but once in a while it's a guy. In the beginning I was weirded out but that soon became a non issue as it's always done in a very professional manner. If I were you I'd take a shot at it if a female comes in. Why not?

[QUOTE=Bob521;3260267] Lucky for us, L (Mei) is terrific. Many of our customers have pain management issues, and her massage really is therapeutic. Actually, its a damn hard pressure massage, as many of you already know.

[/QUOTE]A few months ago while getting out of my car something snapped in my back and I could hardly move. Getting in and out of the car was very painful and the same with getting in and out of bed. Sleeping too. Even walking was a chore. It was terrible. It slowed me down but it didn't stop me being a hobbiest.

So I made an appt at one of my regulars and as I'm laying down on her table she can tell there was something wrong. I told her yeah, my back hurts pretty bad. I've gotten many massages from her but mostly they were just foreplay for the main event. But this time she was acting different. Sure enough, within 3 finger prods she had pinpointed my pain. She worked that area for about 5 minutes. She then says "Ok, fixed. Get up. " I'm like "what? Yeah right. ".

But I got up and sure enough, pain was gone. I twisted, and turned, and even bent over and almost touched the floor. Couldn't believe it. Just like that the pain was gone. And I'd had it for a week.

Amazing!! I asked how she did that. She says she was a doctor in China. Wow. Never knew that.

So we did our thing and I left her an extra tip for above and beyond service.

I was never a believer in therapeutic massage before but she sure changed my mind about that.

I call her Doctor now. It's kinda fun fucking a Doctor. Haha.

Actually, I was going to talk to the various schools about hiring graduates. Cortiva would be high on my list. Most of those graduates get snapped up by the chains, like Massage Envy, but I was going to try anyway. Also I put a simple sign in the window. The idea would be to find someone local who maybe had a license, kids, and wanted to make some part time money while the kids were in school. Mei really needs a day off from time to time.

Now the problem with the female client, I really think L is testing me. She has told me about female clients that asked her to do "special massages". She refused, of course. I don't think I have the will power to say no, if I was asked. Better I don't let myself get into that circumstance.

You are so correct! It's pretty amazing learning about the lives these women left behind. I've met Doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers. I've told these women, (with total sincerity) that it is people like them that make America great (hate to sound political). Smart, hard working, courageous. Building a new life for themselves and their children. Just like our ancestors did one hundred or more years ago. Cubans escaping in boats fifty years ago. American is a melting pot of people like this. Sure they compete for economic resources, but for the most part they usually end up getting the short end of the stick. (Pun not intended.).

As you point out, when you get to know the person behind the MT "persona", know their real name and their real story, you form a personal connection that is much more rewarding than any conventional massage parlor experience. Bob.

I don't know if it was Cortiva but I'll find out for you. There is a fresh batch of grads on the street!

[QUOTE=OlderChap;3260873]Your inbox is full.[/QUOTE]I just emptied it. Sorry.

Thats very interesting. Several years ago I was working at STL nearby a massage school. They used to have terrific deals for trying out massages with students at something like 30 bucks an hour. But because they only did that for limited hours a month usually they had a long waiting list so not very practical. Just curious to know more about Cortiva. What do they charge and how easy is it to get a massage there.

My problem. On budget and my safe go-to has been shut down, but want that pussy. My rant, reasoning, whatever. Never known a gf or my ex to be an easy thing. They would all giggle at me and go off to use their vibrators. My solution during my current lockdown. Well, not too long ago these articles were $5000 or $10000 a piece. Not now, found the prices have dropped below $1000 for completely solid all medical grade silicone (TPE) sex dolls with fully posable metal skeletons. Beats the ass off following my last ex's advice to go away and just use my hand. LOL. On Amazon, too! It may be taboo, but so was those damn cock blocking vibrators once. Check these links out.

I guess it's better that they do this rather than actual children getting hurt.

Just when I thought I heard everything on here.
