scooter Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Interesting concept. I pay you $50 to promote your product? Application Download button doesn't work on website Quote
JT Bagwell Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 That is a practice that I am seeing more and more. I guess it keeps the number of applicants way down. I haven't seen any big companies using this strategy, but several smaller ones have adopted it. JT Bagwell Quote
somethingaboutsomething Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 I dont just have a product, I have a company. I have thousands of products, Strike King, Daiichi, Luck"E"Strike, falcon, Shimano, on and on. I have a four page application. I check out everything on it. That money goes to my time to check you out. If I just wanted to sign people up, I could do that. But it wouldnt be fair to those who take it serious, because somebody would screw it up and take advantage of the situation. Besides, if I decide you dont get on the Field Staff, I eat the cost and GIVE YOU THE MONEY BACK. It is worth losing the time and money to not have to deal with a headache down the road! I opened my wholesale/retail tackle business to give not just tournament anglers a way to get the baits they want at a price that wouldnt break the bank, but everybody. I am a small company, my field staff can buy anything I carry, several thousand items from top shelf products to leads weights at wholesale prices. You dont get 20% off my brand rods, or reels, or plastics, you know what you fish with, what you need. My field staff can save over a 100.00 just on one reel!, that aint worth the chance? As far as the button not working, I was made aware of that, that is why I asked to be emailed, and the site says it is under construction. A lot of the bigger companies that have been established a while have people that want to get signed on with them, and get tons of applications, they have a huge pool to choose from. I know because I am sponsored by a couple of those big companies. I learned real quick as a Police Chief how to be a manager, and weed out those who are going to go through the motions, and those I can count on. I currently have 4 guys on Pro Staff. They fish mostly the ABA, one was ranked 15th or 16th in the nation last year, I know I can count on him to handle promotions in his area if I need him to, just as he knows I will break my neck to get him what he needs to win tournaments, even if I have to overnite it to a hotel room. I dont ask a lot from my guys. Buy your tackle from me, help me get business. Work booths if you can. Tell your local bait shop you think I should talk to them, and I can save them money, most of the time I can, I will call them so they dont have to pay for the call. I fish in the ABA also, dont think I wont run to nationals in LA this year when I make it? I will, and most of my Pro Staff and I will be there, but no matter where I am, those who count on me will still be able to. It all hinges on integrity, and honor, something our sport has to have to continue to grow. If the camera aint on you, what are you going to do when aint nobody lookin? I want the person who will choose to do the right thing, no matter how painful. Sorry I got on the soap box, I am not trying to take anything out on anybody, just wanted to explain the situation and my feelings. If your interested, shoot me an email, and I will send you an app, or I will give you a call. Joe CrownJTackle@yahoo.com Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Joe, Very sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I send my sympathies to you and your family. Can you provide an example of the savings you can offer a field staff member? I would be curios to know what you would charge for Pflueger president spinning reel- Strike king 3x craws- Yum dingers- just as some off the wall examples that we all know. Thanks for your time, Russ Quote
squid Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Joe, Was wondering if you are getting any of my emails yet? Steve Quote
RANGER1 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I fish the ABA was wondering if you were still looking for field staffers. Finished ranked 129 for the year out of well over 1500 anglers in my first year. Qualified for the national on the Red River in Shreveport,La. Trying to get my foot in the door for some sponsorship somehow....know I'll have to start at the bottom and work my way up. I have no problem with that. I have a resume on this site....let me know if I can help you promote your products in any way. Quote
squid Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Ranger1, We have not seen Joe on here since May. He had a death in the family then never got back with anyone. Good luck on getting any info from him on here. You might want to go to his website and get his address from there. Squid Quote
scooter Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Ranger 1 Last I checked Crown tackle charged for the opportunity to be on his "prostaff" and purchase his products. I think it was 50-100$. Good Luck Quote
