Appropriate networking with other health related professionals.
If a personal trainer has a network for referrals (massage therapist, physician, chiropractor etc.), should he or she avoid doing business with those same professionals? (ex. If the PT has a massage therapist they see for their own needs, is it wrong to refer a client to the same one, or to the give the MT business cards or flyers to advertise their personal training business?) I think I know the answer to this, but I just want to see what you all think. IF…………the answer is YES, then how can you know you’re referring the client to a good professional if you haven’t used their services? Would it be just based on the reputation of the other professional?
Use Linkedin! Great tool for networking with any professionals, let alone health related.
Hope this helps,
