I was wondering what would be the best way to get on a pro staff. I hunt a lot and I figure i could give a lot of input on products and such to a company. Just wondering.

Thanks

It is often more than just giving them input on there products. You have to be willing to "Promote" them as well. This can mean doing shows in the offseason and getting there product out there. Also doing more marketing while in the field too.

Seems like the people I talked to just asked, or wrote a letter or email telling the companies how much they liked their product, etc. I've heard of guys who were in their first year of hunting, but were "pro-staff." Kind of takes away from the guys who are the real deal.

well maybe I should write some emails.

Im with clutch most of the time it is more like that. I have seen guys post up and say hey I need some pro staffers and you email them and they say ok. Really not anything to it.

If you joined on a prostaff, would you get to test out products? What all would be involved in it? Because i've always wanted to be on a prostaff. Is there an average age that you should be? How would I contact them to try and become a prostaffer?
Thanks

They don't care how good of a hunter you are, they care how good you look on camera, and how well you speak. Also like any other facet of showbiz it's who you know. If they wanted the best of the best to rep their products I would already be on "Team Realtree" or something like that, because seriously as far as hunting ducks goes. I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE! The problem is I'm ugly as hell. :thumbsdown:

It's over rated, Too much work, for no real reason, Sure it maybe worth it to be liek a mud buddy prostaff and get a free motor. But like A hat company, or a t-shirt company.. just a wast of time.

But its basically who you know, and If your a good/ great hunter you will know a lot of people.

I'm not knocking the guys that do it, but my understanding of it is that you'll get a few calls, or whatever you're on a pro-staff for, and in return you have to work some shows, or put decals on your truck, etc. Now, if you're given four new calls a year, but you have to work four outdoors shows a year, and you're at each one for eight hours a day for three days. 96 hours total for the year. That's alot of time and effort for $400 worth of calls and a golf shirt that says pro-staff. Guys get into it for the free stuff, but forget there's no such thing as a free lunch. I figure I few ducks over the course of the season, and don't need to wear a shirt or button to prove to anyone how good of a hunter I am.

That's right dude. When I was born the doctor slapped my mother!
But when I wake up every morning I actually piss steel shot.

:yes: This thread was at least interesting. I always thought that it might be fun, also i think that people want ot become a pro staffer because it is one step closer to getting paid to do what you love. I guess it doesnt matter.

titles and authority are given... respect is earned.

I've known some pro's who really are pro's, and others who are novices. Which one brings more sales to a company?

 

[jaysweet3]

If you are a pro staffer, couldn't you incorporaite yourself and use all of your outdoor expenses as business expenses? It may work for a couple of years until they ask why your company has lost money for x number of years.

 

[captainduckhead]

I think you are allowed to have your business lose money for 3 years in a row, and at that point it can no longer be called a business.

Now that is funny! :rofl:

Or you could be a major US auto maker. :huh:
I apologize if I picked off any scabs with that one.
