Central Regional Report: May - June 2015

2015 has started with a bang thanks to your hard work. We already have 19 recruiters who have broken 100 members recruited and 2 recruiters over 1,000. Doyle Hallmark has already submitted 1,043 memberships and we’re not even half-way through the year! Doyle continues to reap the benefits of establishing great relationships with local show promoters. If you are having trouble meeting your personal goal for the year, call us, and let’s see what we can do to find you more opportunities to recruit more members. 

If you don’t already have the “Join NRA Here” web link or e-mail link, you should add them today. The “Join NRA Here” web link connects your web site and recruiter ID to the NRA’s secured online membership portal. Our “Join NRA Here” graphic is identifiable and effective in achieving increased memberships when placed prominently within the viewer’s initial viewing pane. Sell the membership opportunity to the viewer with the simple graphic, brief message and discount offer. Recruiters can also include an invitation to join NRA at the discounted rate in confirmation and correspondence e-mail as well. It is easy to add a message such as “We sincerely appreciate your business. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you a discounted one-year membership to the National Rifle Association. Join today and receive a $10 discount!” to entice someone to open the link on your e-mail. This won’t be a gold mine but if used properly, you can add dozens of new members with little to no contact or salesmanship.

Be proactive in your recruiting efforts. While gun shows will remain the mainstay of recruitment, we must be open to new events. Keep your eyes and ears open for new opportunities to take your recruiting results to the next level. Get out there and talk to anyone who will listen. Let them know there is no time like the present to sign up with the NRA. Never hesitate to hammer home the point that NOW, more than ever, is the time to sign up to be a member. The current political climate is pushing those who used to be on the fence, over to our side. Reminding folks of the current state of affairs will increase your recruiting numbers. It’s all about protecting what we believe in and preserving our heritage for future generations.
