2015 is shaping up to be another fantastic year for NRA Recruiters. To date, almost 100,000 members have signed up or renewed through the program, an incredible number!
Having a Recruiter web link is almost a given nowadays. The ability for members to sign up on your website, through your email signature or through any digital correspondence without so much as meeting you face-to-face is a fantastic tool to increase NRA membership.
Recruiters should always look for new ways to increase NRA membership numbers. There are many opportunities to build membership even when you are not face-to-face with potential members. Summer is the perfect time to explore some of these options.
One of the most important skills any successful Recruiter has is the ability to identify a customer's "Hot Button." Each potential member has a need that has to be filled and NRA Membership needs to fill that need.
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.
As the summer rolls on, be proactive in finding new and creative methods of recruiting. When looking to increase your numbers over last year, don’t forget to check out areas you have yet to try. Not every event has to be a gun show; a county fair, sporting event, church gathering or local trap shoots are great venues for recruiting new members.
With my busy travel season in the rearview mirror, I will have ample time to touch base with all of you to work on strengthening NRA. While complacency has set in with a lot of people, now is when ALL of us can truly make a difference. Our goal is to communicate that there is no end game to this fight; it will be a battle regardless of who is in office.
The NRA Recruiting program provides a great opportunity for NRA members to strengthen the NRA by increasing membership and earn extra money at the same time!
