About The Position

Responsibilities

Build a strong local presence by developing real relationships with gun ranges, firearms retailers, instructors, and small business partners in your territory.
Deliver engaging group presentations — often after concealed carry classes — that share the USCCA story without sounding like a commercial.
Educate individuals on training, education, and self-defense liability protection as responsibly armed Americans.
Close USCCA memberships using ethical, consultative sales techniques that respect the member.
Own and grow your territory pipeline — prospecting, nurturing, and showing up consistently.
Deliver an outstanding member experience every step of the way — because the relationship doesn't end at the sale.
