Presenters and Topic Details
Event Organizer and Facilitator – Ron Mest
I have been a gun dealer since 1993 and I jumped into this business because of the rude and abusive behavior that I experienced at other gun shops in the area. Whether you are buying for the first time or you are a seasoned veteran, my goal is to treat everyone in a respectful, friendly, and dignified manner so they have a positive experience. My customer service is second to none and this is what sets me apart from other gun shops.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Adult Learning and Training from St Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. I have been a Training Specialist in the Oil and Gas Industry for 20+ years and my life mission is to educate people. This is another aspect that sets me apart from other gun shops in the area. You are really going to enjoy this seminar.
