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.

Help Wanted.... Someone who can employ me for good pay who doens't whine all day. Someone who can give orders and direction for their company without explaining everything. Just give the damn request and I will make sure it is done. A boss who makes coffee for me for a change once in while. A boss who doesn't switch from being on the phone all day to oogling my tits!

Oh yeah, I forgot...thanks. Must be able to make good coffee.

My 16 year old son has always kept his phone coversations short. If I ask him to call someone for info - doesn't matter who it is - he asks the question, gets the answer and says bye. No small talk whatsoever. If you 'employ' someone to answer the phone that also likes to use the phone for entertainment, they will be gabbing to the "Whatcha doing?" callers and you will get few actual business calls coming through. |
JOYce, Srg is luck to have you.
