Southeast Regional Report: January - February 2017

Congratulations, Southeast Recruiters on a successful 2016. Together we recruited over 38,000 members, a 35% increase from 2015. Great job! Special congratulations to Harold Osmon for winning Gun Show Recruiter of the year. Harold attended over 30 events in 2016 resulting in 2,168 members. A job well done!

The following Recruiters also had outstanding years:

• Bruce Roberts & Associates recruited 402 members in his 1st year!
• JT International had the highest percentage increase in 2016 at 600%, a total of 1,028 members!
• Showmasters for ranking #2 out of 622 NRA Recruiters- totaling 5,639 members!

Reaching 5 million members wouldn't have been possible without YOU! Thank you all for your continued hard work and dedication to the NRA.

With a new year, comes new goals. I ask each one of you to set a goal of how many members you will commit to recruiting this year. Please share with me any events you have already scheduled. Remember a minimum of 25 members is asked of our Recruiters each year.

As you begin filling out membership applications, please remember the following:

• 1. Always double check credit information. This is the most common error we see. Make sure the credit card numbers are legible and the expiration date doesn't expire within a month of the application date.
  
  
• 2. First and Last name must be on application. Even if the member is renewing, we still need their first and last name, not just the member number.
  
  
• 3. Complete address filled out. All information regarding the member's address- street address, city, state, and zip code- must be filled out or the application can't be processed.

Remembering these simple tips will help NRA towards a successful 2017! If you have any event ideas or know of a show not covered in your area, please contact me to see if something can be arranged. Winter travel season has begun meaning I will be in and out of the office and will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you again for all your hard work and here's to a great 2017!
