Cath Cox has been a licensed massage therapist in Colorado since 1999. After trying nearly everything to get clients through her door (she was hustling her butt off), and it not working, Cath decided to finally try Groupon because she had nothing else to lose. To her surprise, she was getting consistent clients through the door and was able to boost her business from three clients a week to three a day within a couple of months. How did she do it? Find out, in this week’s episode.
