Finding The Clients You Want In Your Masage Therapy Business
When starting Massage Therapy I did the same thing as everyone else did. I put up some flyers (everywhere) and hoped people would be impressed by what massage therapy qualifications I had and call me for a massage treatment.How blind I was.Little did I know that was actually costing me valuable time and money....why? It’s simple; I did not identify my target market. You've probably heard me talk about this before, but I want to explain a little bit more about it.You see a common misunderstanding a massage therapist might have is that just because massage therapy is good for everyone, then everyone will come to have massage.Wrong! you have received a totally unjustified and unfair negative feedback, and you would like the situation to be attended to.

Ebay's reply begins like this:

"Thank you for writing to eBay. I am sorry to hear about this situation. I understand your frustration and concern over the issue."...

More interestingly, it ends like this:

"I understand this does little to ease your frustration regarding this matter and apologize for any inconvenience it might have caused you."

Boy! Did they get that right. Precious little has been done so far to ease your frustration, really.

With a feeling of failure, you remind yourself that you are mature enough to understand. There are rules governing what goes on on eBay, and you must constantly try to stay informed and prepared.

One of your options in the Square Trade email is to pay for a dispute resolution specialist. That reality annoys even further, but you understand that you must use the system to clear your name.

Over the next several days, you constantly check your inbox. It's time to ask and answer questions. Exactly what would your customer's argument be? You are eager to be called upon by Square Trade, to get the resolution on the way.

You have diligently saved your emails into your folder. You are ready to prove things like:

1. Your auction promised to deliver ebooks via email attachments, but the buyer insisted on finding out:

"Am i going to receive the 6 books in the mail or not. We need to solve this now. Thanks (name removed)."

2. Your emails explain that the items have already been delivered via email attachment. You also offer to assist if the buyer does not understand how to download the attachment. You receive a reply:

"what is via email attachment."

3. You had spoken to the buyer's relative by phone in the earlier days, soon after the auction had ended. At that time you actually offered to deliver the items up front, even while you awaited the Money Order in the mail (courteous service).

You attempt to phone again and assist with the attachment download procedure, this time unsuccessfully.

You email the customer asking if there's a different contact number and get a response:

"No i do not have any other numbers you can reach me at. I know how to open attachments but i think its stupid to have paid 1.45 for something i have to download online."

Ouch!

You know now that you have been trapped by an aggressive newbie. She thinks (correctly) that it's her duty to be assertive, and she thinks (incorrectly) that she has been cheated by you.

At this point she has zero feedbacks and may or may not really be aware of how she is doing damage to you.

Someone who obviously was attracted to your auction and participated without fully understanding. You are dealing with someone who is very quick to post this feedback for you (your very first negative):

"I didn't get what i paid for. Would not do business again!!!"

Does this sound like a winning case or what?

Well, apparently, that buyer must have eventually come to realize her errors in judgement. Apparently she failed to respond to any of the contact efforts made by Square Trade. On the 15th day after the negative feedback was posted, you receive emails from Square Trade, stating in part:

"We have not yet heard a response from (name removed). As per eBay's feedback withdrawal policy, your negative feedback on eBay is NOW eligible to be withdrawn. Your case is now being assigned to a Dispute Resolution Specialist. Feedback withdrawal can ONLY be done if all of eBay's requirements are met. Payment information can be found when you log into your cases."

Soon after, you receive another email from Square Trade stating in part:

"Your SquareTrade Case #(number removed) has successfully passed our review for nonresponse feedback withdrawal. We have submitted a request for the withdrawal of feedback to eBay."

That loud negative feedback has since been removed. The comments remain but that red negativ
