NRA Retailer Recruiter of the Year: Shooters World Tampa

Shooters World of Tampa, Florida recruited 750 members last year, making them the second highest XR Recruiter for the first time and earning them 2017 Recruiter of the Year honors! The staff at Shooters World Tampa made NRA memberships a total team effort and increased their Membership numbers by 293%.

Shooters World Tampa has recruited NRA members since 2012. Owner Bing Kearney was shocked to hear his store was not selling hundreds of memberships a year. He and General Manager Bruce Kitzis motivated their employees to increase their recruiting efforts. In 2017, the hard work came to fruition. Bruce implemented a new strategy of having all team members, including cashiers, sell NRA memberships. Daniel Alamazon was a star salesman and set the bar as the best Recruiter in the store. Kelsey Jacobs played a key role in the process as well. She made sure all applications were sent in on time and relentlessly reminded those on the sales floor about the commission they could earn. With Bing and Bruce’s leadership, Shooters World of Tampa was able to sell more memberships in 2017 than the last three years combined!

This 'all hands on deck' approach and the tireless dedication to build the ranks of NRA is a common trait among Recruiter of the Year award winners, such as Shooters World. Congratulations to the store and staff for the outstanding year and for winning Recruiter of the Year honors!
