Whether you’re a sales associate at a bike shop, a hunting guide or a ski instructor, you’re an expert in your industry — and you should be rewarded like it. You’ve heard about pro deals, where people like you get gear at a lower cost. The purpose of these programs is to provide people who are influential in their industry [you] a chance to purchase products at a discount. And after you’ve taken it home and put it to the test, you’ll then recommend that brand and/or product to friends and customers, sparking full-price sales. It’s a win-win-win, really. Experts get gear at a significant discount. Brands get experts advocating on their behalf. And consumers get real, authentic recommendations.

But back to you. You’re ready to join a pro deal program and get hooked up with sweet deals. But which one is right for you? After a quick Google search you realize there are a few different options. And while all are awesome, there’s one that stands out above the rest.
