We know the massage and bodywork community is full of passionate instructors possessing caring hearts and expert hands-on skills who give their all to students. But so many are often trained in the “trial by fire” method. In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren speak with ABMP Chairman Bob Benson about his motivation for creating Cornerstones, the ABMP Instructor Development Program, why there is a need for this type of program in massage education, and why he was committed to creating this resource for the profession. Bob Benson is Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals' (ABMP) chairman of the board. Taking the reins in 1996, Benson has served as ABMP's president and CEO. Benson is a champion of the massage and bodywork profession, serving on the board of directors of CAMTC, enlisting ABMP's resources toward the development of the Entry-Level Analysis Project, and spearheading the development of Cornerstones: The ABMP Instructor Development Program. Under his 26 years of leadership, Benson helped grow ABMP into a leading association in the profession, and created sister associations for estheticians, cosmetologists, and nail professionals.   Resources:   Get Started Now with Cornerstones: ABMP Education Center   Hosts:   Darren Buford is senior director of communications and editor-in-chief for ABMP. He is editor of Massage & Bodywork magazine and has worked for ABMP for 22 years, and been involved in journalism at the association, trade, and consumer levels for 24 years.

Welcome back to the Scale Your Small Business Podcast with your host, Jillian Flodstrom. On the show, this week is Ed Howie. Over the past 30 years, Ed has up with amazing brands like Chick-fil-A, 7-Eleven, KFC, H-E-B Supermarket, Kroger, and Massage Heights to help them find their uniqueness.   If people don't recognize how you're different, why would they want to give you attention? The words “common” and “commodity” are very similar. You're definitely not a commodity. They are common and the market controls the value. By being distinct, you are able to influence the value you bring to the market. Then, the market looks to reimburse you for that.    It's easy to lose sight of the overall enterprise. Remember, your uniqueness is what is going to help you stand out from the rest of the crowd. You have to have a good, solid product or service, and is has to be consistent, but so does your branding.    For Ed, profits are an indicator of stewardship, which is how you create more than what you started with. Leaders want to create something of value that is distinct and unique. If you cannot operationalize your brand, you'll struggle. It doesn't matter how charming Tony the Tiger is. If the cornflakes suck, who cares how clever the brand is.    Ed's all about “wooo” Winning Others Over and Over. His belief is that every customer can be won over. We are constantly assessing the ‘wooo' and ‘pooo' levels of every interaction. Great brands wooo. It starts with truly understanding what your customers want and then delivering on that over and over again. Once you can not only systemize perfection but systemize what to do when you fall short of that, you'll be able to provide what your customers want. Set standards and keep to them. Good brands are well-orchestrated, operationalized, and optimized. Bad brands do one of them poorly.    LINKS   https://edhowie.com/   Key Takeaways If people don't recognize how you're different, why would they want to give you attention?  You have to have a good, solid product or service, and is has to be consistent, but so does your branding.  Good brands are well-orchestrated, operationalized, and optimized.

Stories from Franchisees & Founders   In light of this new reality we are all living in, we thought it would be best to conduct a special panel discussion made up of high-performing franchisees across different industries to share with us what their crisis management has looked like over the past few weeks.    The ability to collaborate during this time will be incredibly beneficial for all of us. Today, we have the privilege of talking with two guys you may have heard from before, Peter Hansen and JD Busch. These guys are battle-tested, successful multi-unit franchisees.    JD has been in franchising since 1995 and started as a Massage Heights franchisee and RD before also transitioned into Amazing Lash. Peter Hansen is partner and co-founder at Franchise Ramp, a digital marketing company that provides recurring customer-generation systems for franchise brands. Peter also owns multiple Club Pilates locations across 2 states – Arizona and Ohio (and is in the process of working on deals for 6 more).    The panel talks about the current situations and opportunities that can come out of this shutdown process. No matter your industry or job position, you'll find a lot to relate to and take from the conversation. What we talk about: The current situation of different businesses and locations during this pandemic Over preparing won't hurt   “You can still be an optimist, but have thought through the process of what you're going to do in a worst-case scenario.”    Navigating through a downturn Best practices to come out of the current situation as successful as we possibly can The difference in the shutdown process between states and how businesses adjusted Facing different suggestions to make a business decision Handling the post-closure communication between members  Opportunities that can come out of this uncertain time Staying positive Evolving with the opportunities that are coming Think through all different options The human capital assets What we mention: Massage Heights Franchise Ramp Franchise Tribe Facebook group, by Erik Van Horn
