Title: Becoming an Staff member
Post by: BWB300 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.

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

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.

Post by: JMORRIS on June 23, 2008, 02:18:06 PM: 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.

Post by: nutsforbowling on July 01, 2008, 07:00:08 AM: To get on staff simply buy some knee pads and learn how to swallow. I think that price is a little to high though.

Post by: Verbs on July 01, 2008, 03:43:48 PM: I don't totally recall that Jason. That might have been while I was in one of my Red Bull stupor's, while dragging all of your drunk butts around Vegas.......Good times though.

And I will say this, if Nick thinks Angie looks manly, he seriously needs a new perscription in his glasses. The ONLY thing remotely manly about Angie is that she could kick Nick's scrawny butt!!!!!

Congrats to you and Angie on the new addition. You big time overacheiver.

Post by: BrunsBob on July 08, 2008, 09:25:19 PM: Howdy Boyz, just enjoying catching up on some good reading. I have been on vacation from these parts for awhile and just thought I'd drop in and see who's doing who, and man I've missed out on some of the happenings it appears. Seems as if some on here might be "reviewing" the wrong kind of balls.

Jason, hang in there, corporate world is a different critter.
