James Mclaren is a Territory Sales Manager - VIC/SA/TAS at Outdoor Agencies Pty Ltd. He possess expertise in hiring, retail category management, operations management, new store openings, human resources and 5 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Customer relationships can be complex and combative, with some people choosing an “I win, which means you need to lose” approach to negotiating. What has already impressed me about James, is his inherent passion for creating partnerships that lead to “we can both win better together” scenarios. As a Key Account Customer, I worked closely with James to support his business where he asked for it, and in return he was always willing to test new product lines, ideas, and initiatives when I needed support. The business between our companies grew every year and I put a lot of the success down to James respect and professionalism combined with an entrepreneurial and optimistic flair for retailing. I would gladly work alongside James as an outdoor industry professional that I have a huge amount of respect for. You don’t stay at the top of the outdoor retail game in your town for close to two decades without being a master at the craft of retail! "
