Becoming an Staff member
« on: June 23, 2008, 04:46:09 AM »
I was just wondering how people become staff members. If a plain normal person like myself could possibly become one. I didn't know if you had to be of a certain age or of a certain skill level. If anybody has any information i would really appreciate it.

Skill level and marketability.

A average Joe would not normally become a staff member..

Staff members promote the company and the equipment.  Do those things.  Make it worth the company's while to have you on their staff.

Basically, use their equipment, be successful with it, and spread the word that you believe your success is due to the equipment in your hands.  Be a positive image for them.  Working in or owning a pro shop, where you have direct influence over what equipment your customers buy goes a long way.

And then be the one guy in 1000 that does all those things and does get a staff position.

I think owning a pro-shop and/or participating and being successful in several local/regional tournaments are the big keys to getting on staff.

You have to be able to influence sales, through your business or bowling ability.

Thanks for the vid Nick. Seeing Cartman in that bed living his dream was simply amazing. Always follow your dreams. Personally, who would want to be on Geraldo.

Was that supposed to be a zing?

Seems that my services are highly sought after, and not just from Brunswick.
