How does Outdoor Prolink approve a person for a discount?
Once your Application gets to us, our staff reviews it using the approval criteria given to us by each manufacturer. We will then wait for verification of your employment, and approve or deny your account for each company in the program. So you might get an account with one manufacturer, but not another. It all depends on what you do in the industry: A canoe outfitter would not qualify for discounts on avalanche transceivers, and a whitewater guide may qualify for dry bags but not mountaineering boots. If you were a whitewater guide in the summer and a mountain guide in the fall, though, you’d qualify for both. All of the approving and denying is based on what the manufacturers tell us, not our own personal evaluation of your forms, business, or résumé.
