2014 Dealer Recruiter of the Year: Chuck's Gun Shop

For almost 20 years, Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, IL has been a mainstay near the top of the Dealer category. 2014 proved to be no exception. With over 2,400 members recruited, a 47% increase from the year prior, they earned 2014 Recruiter of the Year honors!

Topping a record shattering 2013 proved to be a difficult task for recruiters, but Chuck's did so with ease. Owner John Riggio knows what it takes to be a successful dealer recruiter. Like past award winners Turner's Outdoorsman and Shoot Straight, he makes sure to pass the full commission onto the employees responsible for the membership sale. It's a wonderful incentive to make sure that everyone is asked to join or renew. And I mean everyone! Not a customer comes through the store without being asked to join NRA.

2015 promises to be another amazing year for Chuck's Gun Shop. They remain aggressive in selling NRA memberships as John and the rest of his staff know that it's not a time to rest on our laurels. "We can't get complacent because of the recent elections. It's key to remind people that the next presidential election is right around the corner" he explains. "You have to keep asking, keep pushing. Encourage other dealers to join the Recruiting program as well." We couldn't agree more, John. Congratulations to you and the staff at Chuck's Gun Shop on this fantastic achievement!
