How Has Partnering with Other Professionals Paid Off for You?

Recently Massage & Bodywork Magazine asked the question above of their readers in 'Round the Table. I am a big fan of networking and cooperative marketing so I had to respond. Although they edited part of my comments, here is what they printed online (and in the magazine!)
By getting to know these varieties of professionals, I learned so much about how to make my own massage better and broaden my own knowledge and skills. I also found out who was good at various modalities, which provided a good pool of people I’d refer to when my work was not exactly what a client needed or if I was unable to fit someone into my schedule.
As my own practice blossomed, I became known as the local expert on marketing and growing a massage business. This brought about a number of opportunities in my life from numerous teaching, speaking, and writing opportunities (Massage & Bodywork was one of them). It also brought a constant stream of incredible people who wanted to work in my practice and day spa. Those people had a huge part in making that business a success.
Now that I’ve sold my spa and do consulting and training full-time, I get to help massage, skin, and spa professionals succeed as my job. And although I now get paid to do what I used to do for free, I’m still in partnerships that help us all learn and prosper.

I'd love to hear how you cooperate or partner with other professionals to grow your business, improve your skills or simply support each other. Please add them to this blog or send them to me at Felicia@spalutions.com so I can share them with other readers.
