I am a FFL so this would be an unpaid position for those wishing to have "work experience." Responsibilities would be to basically rescue me from the endless barrage of phone calls I receive daily so that I can focus on more important things like placing orders, organizing current orders and posting on AR15.com. Examples are: The 25 consecutive "Whacha doing?" phone calls from my wife because she is bored at work and wants to be entertained. The 10 consecutive phone calls from the handful of my male friends who haven't figured out they are men who call to ask "Whacha doing?" Note to men: A phone is a tool, not a source of entertainment. Call ONLY if you have a question that cannot wait and then hang up. "Whacha doing?" is not an acceptable question. The various phone calls from children wanting to know if I can get them parts for their airsoft MP5s. The phone calls from other kids (who have now been told we only sell real MP5s) who ask "Do you guys sell REAL machine guns?" and when you say "yes" they say "Whoa that's cool" and hang up. The 30 minute detailed phone call about a specific .60 cent part like a magazine spring from various "price shopping" customers who want to make sure it is 1. the best they can get, 2. in stock and 3. cheaper than that price they saw on the internet. The cold calls from various "transfer" FFLs calling to see if I want to "buy anything." The guys calling to ask what is the best rifle I'd recommend for less than $150. They are spending a LOT of money so they want to make sure and get a good one. The myriad of phone calls containing the watch words "Shotgun News" and "transfer." You can simply hang up at this point. The guys calling to see if I can get a rifle cheaper than the Wal Mart price because they'd rather get it from me (If I can beat the Wal Mart price) since Wal Mart doesn't have it in stock anyway. All of which will come in every hour until I finally lose it and answer the phone "WHAT! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT NOW?!? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE SO I CAN TRY AND WORK?!? FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY LEAVE ME IN PEACE!" And of course that particular call will be from a local agency wanting to place a very large order and will now be particularly impressed with my phone/customer service skills.  I need a thoughtful, articulate person who can successfully handle (and save me from) calls like the above for as long as their good nature can last. Big tits a plus.

God's seen me do worse.

Hell that is the problem now. After a couple hours of the above calls I start answering the phone just like you. I need somebody who WON'T answer the phone like that, preferrably someone (female) with big tits.

I like the part about your wife calling all the time. My mechanic had the same problem with his wife so he started calling her during the day and saying stuff like "Hey honey. I'm working on this car and I'm kind of stumped here. It's doing this and not doing that. I've run tests on it. Blah blah blah". She quit calling him at work. |
Looks like I'll take them 44 Mags. out of your hands into mine.

| I don't envy you one bit!!!! I use to be an FFL. Your experiences are like what every dealer goes through. The more time on the phone the less you get done. A lot of bargin hunters and tire kickers that can't understand why you have to make a profit and should sell them whatever at less than it cost you. Been there, done that. No Thanks! |
She's hired. |
