How can a massage therapist start getting referrals from hotels?
chwmpls asked:
Are there any massage therapists (professional) that do outcall work at hotels? Is there a way to get referred by the concierge or do you just have to advertise and have the hotel guest find you?

You got to get to know and be trusted by the concierge.
Approach all the concierge and offer a free massage to them, either goto their home or have them come to your office if you have one. They cannot recoomend you unless they know you are good.
If you get a booking from a concierge you should cut them in for 10-20 percent of what you made, just tip them on your way out. This will insure more referrals.
You can bypass the concierge by advertising in the book that most hotels put in each room. Also, you can do an ad on the in room TV network.
If a hotel has a spa it may be difficult to do all of the above so focus on hotels that dont have a spa/gym offering massage.
