Northeast Regional Report: January - February 2016
February 4, 2016
Commit to ACTION! In order to keep up the pace in 2016, I’d like to challenge each of you to commit yourselves to action. Be confident and believe the potential member has already made the decision to join. This makes for an easier transition when finalizing the deal. Remind them that we have the most anti-Second Amendment President that this country has ever seen, that our Constitutional rights are in jeopardy NOW, and that their membership is needed NOW, more than ever.
Anticipating potential members’ responses and/or hesitations during conversation will help you finalize your sale. For example, some may say that they don't have the money for membership, have already renewed, or just don't feel strongly about the issues. Remaining knowledgeable on the membership types we offer and their benefits will help you overcome some of these hesitations. Also, staying abreast of the news and issues facing our organization can help you turn that hesitation into action – the action of joining and strengthening NRA. I encourage you to visit www.nraila.org or www.nranews.com to remain aware of the latest news and events.
We must understand the importance of timely and accurate membership submissions. Members expect to receive their credentials between four and six weeks after applying. Remaining committed to a seamless membership registration process will help establish relationships and encourage members to return to you in the future for a membership renewal. Below are several ways to ensure timely and accurate membership submissions:
Verify credit card information is accurate and complete
Ensure checks are written for the correct amount
Sort applications by cash, check and charge
Double-check show report accuracy and completeness
