We live it.

We call on: specialty sporting goods; IBD; outdoor, and specialty ski retail accounts.

Vendor sales managers consistently rate Tifosi Sales as a top national producer. Retail accounts value Tifosi Sales for our technical knowledge, marketing expertise, sales training skills and management support services.
 
Since 1986, Tifosi Sales Inc. has built on a solid foundation of long-term relationships and focused support of our vendors and retail accounts. Contributing to our success has been the depth of industry-specific experience of the principals in retail sales, store management, technical event support, whole-sale sales and sales management. We’re known throughout our territories as a responsive and knowledgeable resource. Tifosi Sales is frequently called upon for advice: by retailers, for market trends, store layout and design, and management controls; by vendors, on product specifications, sales strategies and program design.
 
And, just in case you wondered… "Tifosi" roughly translates from the Italian, "fanatic". We hope you’ll agree there is a bit of the fanatic in our way of conducting business: ours is a life-long love of the sport and a passion for excellence. We’re grateful for the success we’ve attained over the years. We’re excited by the opportunities we perceive for future growth. If you would like to know more about us we’d welcome your inquiry.
