Over the past 25 years of being in the world of spas, wellness and retail health-care, I have found that much of my success has been derived from continual education combined with building long term relationships. Looking back at the many ways in which I supported this approach to business, I would have to say that being an active member of numerous trade organizations has been my number one strategy.
Joining trade organizations provides you with an opportunity to take advantage of their educational programs, attend sponsored conferences with active trade shows and link-up via the Internet for news and information. If you are seeking to succeed in 
the world of Medical Spas and Aesthetic Retail Health-care I would highly recommend that you join the Medical Spa Society (MSS). www.medicalspasociety.com
They offer complete educational programs including CMEs for medical professionals at two of the International Esthetics, Cosmetics and Spa Conferences www.IECSC.com and provide monthly educational Webinars that you can listen to live or streaming off their website. Here is the most recent Webinar (I personally presented this webinar) http://www.medicalspasociety.com/video_test.htm .
You really can’t beat the price of $300 per year and that offers the opportunity to receive 20% off on IECSC conference education.
