Northeast Regional Report: September - October 2017

As the summer season comes to a close, I commend everyone for their continued hard work and dedication to our program. I appreciate how proactive you all have been with your recruiting efforts, whether it’s finding new events or testing new methods.

Two of our region's newest Recruiters have done an exceptional job of this coming out the gates — Trevor Waldspurger and Lori Card. They consistently reach out to show promoters and look for events in need of NRA representation. They have both attended gun shows we haven’t had Recruiters at, and branched out to events other than gun shows such as archery open houses and outdoor shows. Keep up the great work!

Something I have found to be imperative while traveling to shows is to stay connected with NRA-ILA. Understanding current events and NRA’s stance on them will help you answer questions and create relationships with both potential and current members. Signing up for NRA-ILA alerts on www.nraila.org will help ensure that you are up to date on the latest political information regarding our Second Amendment.  

Recently, I have received an influx of applications with complications regarding payment. The most common issues have either involved incorrect credit card information or incorrect check/money order totals. Please be mindful to double-check your numbers and show reports before sending in your applications. Errors like these add time on to membership processing. The faster these applications are processed, the sooner new members will receive their membership credentials packets, and the sooner you’ll receive your commission!

Keep up the hard work over the final few months of the year. As always, feel free to contact me if there is anything I can do to help!
