Pro Deals on Gear

I'm curious how many on TW use ExpertVoice or Outdoor Prolink?

If your're not familiar, they are pro-deal sites that consolidate retailers to one page. Those eligible are Industry professionals, Military, LE, Fire and Rescue, Guides and Outfitters, Automotive Groups, LNT Master Educators, Eagle Scouts, BSA Volunteers, and many more.

I'm an ambassador for ExpertVoice and have been using them for years. If you need assistance getting on or have more questions, PM me. If you aren't sure if you qualify or think you're close to qualifying (training in progress), let me know, I can set up a select few to try EV.

 

I loved it when we were able to use it while I worked at Dick’s! I weirdly even liked the classes sometimes too. The site felt much better than 3point5 which I believe was bought out?

 

Correct, They changed to Expetcity, then again to ExpertVoice. They really are working on improving the site. Now that they also have a small contingent of ambassadors, they make improvements quickly from the recommendations of folks using their site. They still have the "games." and a few brands require some "tests" to learn about their company and products before granting access to their deals.

 

That’s good, 3point5 was a little tough to navigate so I was glad I found the site to be easier. I liked the ones that gave you a promo code to use the best

 

When I lived in VA and worked as a DOD civilian I used Provengo and Experticity (spelling might be off on those) I loved those sites used to pick up Costas and other items Id use on the job daily for half the price I could find in stores. Now I'm working local government in FL, don't think I qualify any more

 

I'll contact the EV rep and see if local government could qualify. It might depend on what you do for work.

 

Sounds good, Ill watch for a reply. I'm an Environmental Specialist for the City of Jacksonville. Basically I'm in the field doing inspections, investigations and responding to reports of spills (hazardous waste, sewage, etc.)

 

I have military access and find that some of the companies have deals and others are more expensive than through other vendors. Double check with a quick search before you buy on the site.

 

I completely agree, EV is aware of this. One example is DarnTough Socks. I don't get their deal on EV but it's available on Outdoor Prolink. Also, Some vendors have better deals on sales and shipping. I like getting Yakima products, but the sipping sometimes isn't worth the cost and deal.

 

Agreed

 

American alpine club gets you access to expert voice and a couple of other pro deals directly on their website. I get my access through AIARE certification and American alpine club.

 

I received a reply (Holidays slowed them down a bit). I'm looking into this some more for you.

 

@DarkMark340, The answer I received is: "There is an “Environmental Researchers & Field Scientists” team that it sounds like they'd be a good fit for."
