Profitable Repair Training
Teachers in your area are begging for instrument repair training. Give it to them in a profitable way!
You and your road-reps can earn 20% commissions for simply telling your customers about Repair Masterclass.
Having owned my own retail store, or managed stores for over 25 years, I've seen the bottom line benefits of educating teachers on quality repairs. Doing so not only sends more traffic to your store, but helps educators fight against poor quality ISO's AND gets them to refer more rentals and step up sales!
Affiliate Commissions
I sell three primary products: 1) Prep Tech Courses 2) Shop Visitor Sessions and 3) Maintenance Mondays.
All are available for band and orchestra.
Give your road-reps or sales associates a way to connect with local educators / players and earn a commission while they do. Invite players or entire districts to a Shop Visitor session. Each session covers a different topic, and provides online reference materials with life-long access.
The Prep Tech Courses equip participants with instrument repair skills so they can ensure everyone gets on stage. Those who participate in the course not only learn how to maintain and repair their instruments, but they start to notice just how bad the instruments their students are playing really are, leading to more repair work in your shop, better school bid decisions and lots more step-up sales.
Maintenance Mondays keeps players out of the repair shop with weekly 2 minute long videos. Designed for the classroom, and available for band or orchestra classes, Maintenance Mondays teaches players how to care for their instrument, how to prevent damage, and even several step up options like mouthpieces, ligatures, bows, shoulder rests and more. This is the education every teacher wants to provide... but too many things get in the way of. Make it easy with Maintenance Mondays!

Frequently Asked Questions
Let's see if I can help answer any of your questions. When you have more, just reach out and ask.
What's my cost to participate?
Nothing. Let's face it, you're doing me a favor by promoting the great products I offer and, for doing so, I want to pay you. The only "cost" you'll have is a bit of time to fill out the form and set up your ed reps.
Commissions? What and when do I get paid?
Prep Tech Course provides 15% commission on any sale to the sales rep. When you get someone to sign up for an online course you’ll receive a 15% commission (or $239.85) for that sale. Get more people to participate and you’ll earn more.
Sales reps earn a 30% commission for each district or person joining a Shop Visitor session. Shop Visitor courses offer on-demand courses to teachers or those who buy an instrument from you. At only $25 these courses are easy to afford and provide GREAT information.
Both the store and the sales rep earn a commission. Every time your ed rep earns a commission, so do you. A 2% commission of each sale ($1.90 for every Shop Visitor or Maintenance Mondays session and $31.98 for a Prep Tech course) is paid to the store as my way of saying thank you for the help. I admit it's not much, but it's a great date night occasionally and it supports your ed reps.
Commissions can be tracked by you at any time through online software. Log in to see who's sold what and the commission you both earned. All commissions are paid to the store's bank account monthly. It's up to the store to pay commissions to the individual sales reps, but this is made easy with the online software that tracks this meticulously by salesperson.
How much work is it really to set up?
About 15 min total, less if you type fast. Here's the entire process:
- You click the button on this page to start the application.
- I review the application, approve you and send login information to you.
-
You watch two short videos (one by the software company that I can't remove and a better one by me) explaining how the software works and what you need to do to finish set up.
- The first step is adding your bank account information so I can pay you, along with a W-9, all done easily in the software.
- You "invite" your ed reps (called "JV Brokers" in the software) by entering their name and email address.
- Save each reps unique link in the provided Excel doc for later reference.
- Pull the introductory email I provide you from the resource center and send it to all of your ed reps as an introduction.
If you want to sell more, put your marketing person - which may just be you - on posting the Instagram and Facebook posts I provide. Have each of your reps send introductory emails to their teachers with their unique link and then, on their next visit, use their link to sign every teacher up for the Free Emergency Repair guide and secure any future purchase as a commission for themselves and you. It's really quite straight forward.
Teaching teachers to repair...really? Won't I lose business?
You're techs may, at first, laugh at the thought of teaching teachers, but I've been doing this for years now and no matter the teacher's mechanical aptitude, there are always 3 results:
- Their awareness of what a well-adjusted instrument is increases, and as a result, they always send more repairs in.
- Now painfully aware of the mechanical differences between the cheap ISO's (instrument shaped objects) Amazon is selling and what you're trying to set students up with, they become champions for quality.
- The student who would have missed tonight's concert because a spring came loose gets the opportunity to perform because their teacher knows what to do.
The other result I saw in my own store, that surprised me a bit, was more step-up sales as a direct result of the class. The teachers start talking to their students about what they've learned - they can't help it - and as a result, the conversation always turns to better quality instruments, which drives traffic to your store. It's happened time and again, and I know it will happen as we educate your teachers together.
Am I liable?
No. As every student is responsible for signing themselves up, they are each responsible for accepting not only the terms and conditions but access to course materials is contingent upon their acceptance of the liability release.
All of that being said, I do everything I can to ensure nobody breaks rule #1: Don't cut yourself. It's my primary concern throughout the course. So much so that, instead of offering a fully online experience, I require the students to meet with me live and online during their course in order to proceed through the course. Yes, this takes more of my time; yes, it reduces my margin; yes, it limits class size, but no one is going to be allowed to do something stupid as a result of me not trying to guide them correctly.
