ProStaff Advantage
Our reps don't just represent your brand. They live it.
Real Field Experience
Our reps are avid hunters and anglers. They don’t just sell product — they test it in the blind, on the water, and at the range. That firsthand knowledge shows in every buyer meeting and store visit.
Store-Level Credibility
When our reps walk onto a retail floor, they speak the language. Product knowledge earned through real use, not spec sheets.
Grassroots Relationships
Deep connections with local dealers, guides, and community figures across TALO. Not just corporate accounts — the people who influence buyers.
Local Market Intelligence
Our team knows regional preferences, seasonal patterns, and what moves off the shelf in each market. That knowledge drives better sell-through.
Word-of-Mouth Amplification
In the outdoor industry, credibility is everything. Reps who use the products they represent generate authentic conversations that drive demand.
