Marketing and Event Management

Driven by Outdoor Passion and Community Connection

Climb Forward Sales helps outdoor and technical brands reach the people, retailers, and professionals who actually use their products.

Built from experience in multi-state management, marketing, merchandising, and specialty retail, Climb Forward Sales focuses on hands-on regional representation across New England and the Mid-Atlantic.

Outdoor, Retail & Brand Support

Climb Forward Sales works with brands that serve active outdoor communities and specialty retailers.

The focus is not simply getting products onto shelves. It is helping brands build stronger relationships with retailers, customers, athletes, clubs, and local communities.

Support includes:

Protected-territory sales representation
Brand introductions and account development
Specialty retail sales
Product demonstrations and staff education
Retail merchandising and in-store support
Retailer events and local activations
Community and activity-group marketing
Athlete and ambassador connections
Sponsorship and event opportunities
Tech rep recruitment and management
Local market outreach and brand visibility

Our recreational outdoor focus includes climbing, hiking, trail running, endurance activities, outdoor recreation, and adaptive sports.

Categories:

Apparel, Footwear, Climb, Hike, Camp, Technical Apparel, Run, Trail, Race, Cycle, CPG

We also help retailers create stronger connections with the brands and communities they serve through demonstrations, events, product education, and local outreach.

Good specialty retail depends on knowledgeable retailers, supportive brands, and active communities. Our job is to help connect all three.

Rope, Rigging, Rescue & Professional Safety

Climb Forward Sales also supports the professional and technical side of the outdoor industry, with an emphasis on equipment and education for people working at height, managing rope systems, and operating in rescue and safety environments.

Our focus includes:

Rope and technical rigging
Rope-course and challenge-course equipment
Tower climbing and tower protection
Fall protection
Work-at-height equipment
OSHA-oriented safety equipment
NFPA- and ANSI-related rope and safety products
Search and rescue
Fire and emergency services
Technical rescue
Rope-access professionals
Industrial safety applications
Adaptive slings and specialized support equipment
Professional climbing and positioning systems

We work to connect manufacturers with the people who understand these products in the field — including rescue professionals, fire departments, safety teams, rope technicians, instructors, adaptive programs, and other specialized users.

The goal is the same as it is in outdoor retail: put the right equipment in front of knowledgeable people, provide useful product education, and build long-term relationships between manufacturers and the communities they serve.
