Frequently Asked Questions


What is required to work with WKMI?
A contract, photo I.D, Social Security, a massage therapist license (or certification for those areas that do not require licensure) and professional liability insurance.

Am I an Employee or Independent Contractor?
Your relationship with WKMI is that of an advertiser and independent contractor.  You are given the opportunity to advertise for your home and clinic/spa services. You are also given the opportunity to contract with us to see our corporate office, corporate hotel and gift certificate redemption clients. As an independent contractor you are responsible for all your costs associated with conducting business.  You will not be employed as an employee, therefore will not be provided with workers compensation, unemployment, medical, vision or dental benefits & you will be required to file and pay your own state and federal taxes.  Independent contractors are also free to make their own hours.  You may choose to accept or decline appointments at will.

How many clients can I expect to receive from WKMI?
This question is very difficult to answer, as many factors are considered.  Do we have a current market in the area? How limited is your availability? Do you return calls in a prompt manner? How competitive is our service in the area?   In programming your web page to get top search engine results, we can create more business. We will also work to establish relationship with local businesses and put out more advertising in the area.  With these efforts combined, measurable results may take 45 days or more.

How are therapists paid?
Advertisers collect their own payments from their private clients. Therapists contracting for corporate office & hotel accounts are paid by check. We have two payment cycles in a month.  Any work performed from the 1st to the 15th of the month will generate an invoice and be sent over to accounts payable on the 20th of the same month.  Any work performed the 16th through the end of the month will generate an invoice and be sent over to accounts payable on the 5th of the following month.  It is very important that you be sure your file is complete within our office.  If it is incomplete, our system will not process your invoice over to accounts payable.  This is in efforts to maintain quality control of our therapists and to keep administrative procedures running smoothly.

What type of services do I need to be prepared to offer?
Only the services you provide. 

How do you determine pricing for corporate office & hotel accounts?

Our office conducts market comparison surveys to be sure pricing is reasonable within your service area.  We do try to remain competitive, but do not slash prices to encourage volume.  We believe massage is a life-enhancing service that should never be under-valued.  If you believe that our pricing in your area does not meet fair market value, please do contact our office. We will work with you to conduct market research with comparable services. 

 

How are corporate office & hotel appointments scheduled?
These appointments are scheduled through our customer service department.  Therapists may log into our administrative system to list availability.  If availability is not listed, we will then contact therapists in the requested service area and request availability from them. All appointments require a verbal confirmation from therapists prior to being assigned to their calendar, whether availability is listed or not.

How do you screen your clients?
WKMI takes great pride in our advertising and marketing.  Nothing within our ads or where our ads are placed will ever leave room to question whether or not we are a professional service.  All of our staff is trained in what type of client comments or questions should ever cause a "red flag".  Our staff is trained to always inform clients that our services are professional and in no way are a form of adult entertainment.  At this point, questionable clients will always find a reason to end their call.  In addition to this, WKMI will only accept credit card payments.  Not only is this a means to hold a reservation, but it also serves as our best method of screening clients.  If the information the client gives us does not match that on file with the credit card company, WKMI will refuse service.  Clients calling looking for unprofessional services are always afraid of revealing their true identity or release credit card information.

Of course, we do expect our networked therapists to always use pre-caution and have the experience/training to identify questionable comments, questions & behavior. Therapists should have the ability to resolve these matters quickly and professionally.

How does the client make payment?
All client payments are made by credit card directly to WKMI.  Therapists will never be responsible for collecting payments for jobs contracted through our office.  You may of course, accept cash gratuity.

What form of payment do you accept?
Credit card payments only.  We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express & Discover.

What is the cancellation policy? Will I get paid for cancellations?
Clients are always informed of our 4 hour cancellation policy.  If any cancellations are made with less than 4 hours notice, a full appointment fee will be charged.  For cancellations received between 4-24 hours, a 50% cancellation charge will apply. However, we do require therapists to understand that payment will only be made to you in the event that we are able to collect this fee.  If the charge is disputed with the credit card company, it may be awarded in the clients favor.  We do our best to be sure therapists are adequately compensated for their time.

 

Can you send me some brochures?
Absolutely. Please contact our office with your request.
