Thoughts of a guitar salesman on, methods, customers and management. Theme music 'Mustang,' from my album, 'Warbirds,' by Harpaxe. Available from Amazon & i-tunes.
Hello Mr. Coupland, good to see you making these videos. I've been a fan of yours since your yamaha f-310 review. Got one for myself after seeing that. The fingerpicking was beautiful. Thank you for this video because i was thinking of selling my guitar. Take care of yourself and continue inspiring 😁👍
This is a good video for any budding salesman - not just those selling guitars. In my day job I sell industrial equipment, and I can certainly relate to the points made here.
Q. How do you end up with a million dollars selling guitars? A. Start with two million dollars! Music stores in my area open and close all the time....
The amount of wasted guitars is appalling nowadays. A floor model (I witnessed an Ibanez acoustic/electric, but happens with almost every brand) got stolen the nut that holds the output jack and it was marked as "defective" which means it would get DESTROYED. Yes, really.
The first place I worked was at Ivor Mairants in London where they had the simple idea to have a chime bar on the wall with the beater on a bit of string. Electronic tuners had not been invented and anyway, no one would want to pinch a chime bar.

Excelent dissertation, and the British accent makes it very enjoyable.
It's not a British accent 😂
Most informative and amusing.

A. Start with two million dollars!

Sad but true.
Thank you so much for all of the great advice! I just got a second interview at a local guitar store because of this video!
Did I mention the low wages?
Haha, I think so but I think it’ll be an okay job to work while I finish up college.
Great video john :)

What about the add on sales? The Case, the tuner, the spare strings, plectrums etc (LOL)
Cripes! Where's this guitar store where all the guitars are in tune...?
Glasgow, I suppose ...
