What are the responsibilities and job description for the Firearms & Outdoor Sales Professional position at Cajun Gun & Gear?
Firearms & Outdoor Sales Professional
Cajun Gun & Gear is looking for a motivated, customer-focused Firearms & Outdoor Sales Professional to join our team. This is not simply a position working behind a retail counter. We are looking for someone who wants to build long-term customer relationships, develop repeat business, and sell across multiple channels.
We specialize in higher-end firearms, suppressors, knives, optics, accessories, and related outdoor gear. Our customers expect knowledgeable, professional service and a personalized buying experience.
The right person will be comfortable working with customers in-store, over the phone, through online inquiries, and across other digital sales channels.
What You'll Do
- Build relationships with customers and become a trusted resource for their firearms, suppressor, knife, optics, and gear purchases.
- Assist customers with selecting products based on their needs, preferences, and budget.
- Develop repeat customers through strong service, communication, and consistent follow-up.
- Sell across multiple channels, including in-store, phone, email, website inquiries, and digital sales channels.
- Become highly knowledgeable about our premium and higher-end product lines.
- Assist customers with suppressor purchases and help guide them through the purchasing process.
- Follow up with customers regarding product availability, special orders, new releases, and incoming inventory.
- Identify additional sales opportunities while recommending products that make sense for the customer.
- Maintain accurate customer and sales information in our systems.
- Help merchandise and maintain a clean, professional showroom.
- Stay current on new products, manufacturers, industry trends, and product releases.
- Work with the rest of our team to create an excellent customer experience from the initial conversation through the completed sale.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is sales-driven, relationship-focused, and truly enjoys outdoor goods.
The ideal candidate:
- Enjoys talking with people and developing long-term customer relationships.
- Understands that great salespeople create repeat customers rather than simply closing one transaction.
- Is comfortable selling premium and higher-ticket products.
- Has strong communication and follow-up skills.
- Is comfortable communicating by phone, email, and online.
- Is organized and able to manage multiple customer conversations and sales opportunities.
- Is dependable, professional, and able to work as part of a team.

- Is comfortable using computers, point-of-sale systems, websites, and other technology.

- Firearms accessories
- Outdoor and shooting sports products
- Retail sales
- High-ticket or relationship-based sales

This Position May Be a Great Fit If You...
You enjoy the firearms and outdoor industry but also understand that this is ultimately a sales and customer relationship position.
You like learning about new products, talking with customers, following up on leads, and turning a first-time buyer into someone who comes back to you whenever they're looking for their next firearm, suppressor, knife, optic, or piece of gear.
We're looking for someone who wants to build their own book of repeat customers while helping grow Cajun Gun & Gear both locally and online.
Requirements

- Comfortable working with computers and learning new software.
