3 $ $150 $200 If I work at least two booths at a storefront, I should get about $ each time I work for at least 1.5 hours. By talking to my family & friends AND with my parents talking to their friends at work I should sell at least $150. But I have to ask in order to get the sale! By walking in my neighborhood & knocking on doors, I should be able to earn about $85 each hour. BUT I need a parent or buddy with me, because even as an older scout, it’s unsafe for me to sell by myself. $600 in just a few hours!!! This is only the start! Imagine what happens when I keep selling? I could pay for my own Summer Camp! Scout’s Plan to $600 and BEYOND!

Parents Or Older Scouts Section follows: The following slides contain great Tips and Tricks that you can print off and hand out to parents of the younger scouts or share with your older scouts.

Selling Tips Get a neighborhood street map and map out your selling area Knock on every door on the street DON’T go to houses with FOR SALE Signs out front (they tend to have moved before delivery) Please respect “NO SOLICITING” Signs Write down the addresses that don’t answer so you can re-visit them Bring a parent or buddy (less people say no when parents are present) Best selling times are 6:30 – 8:30 PM Set your sales goal and plan to achieve it Sell near the middle and end of the month (pay days) Be sure to have customers include their phone number to make delivery easier

Practice Your Sales Pitch Share your goal with customers Base your goal on an experience or prize level you wish to achieve Summer Camp Day Camp Resident Camp Top Level Prize Top Sellers Party Share your success from previous years and the great experiences you had at your camp, etc. Remind the customer of when they need to provide payment(some units require pre paid) Call ahead to regular customers and let them know you are selling and when you will be by Give them a receipt so that they know when you will be delivering their popcorn

Product Knowledge & Supplies Familiarize yourself with the product lineup. Your order form has information about each one. Carry lots of pens with you Bring change in case of cash payments Save your sales sheets from year to year! The best sellers build a regular customer base Print out notes with you phone number and name and leave them in doors of houses that don’t answer Laminate your product selection form, you can even blow it up larger at a copy center. Remember to total your sales and money each night and reconcile it.

Delivery Tips Laminate your order forms so you can always read them, this will also help them last until next year Print out thank you notes, let your customers know how you reached your goal and how much fun you hope to have at camp next summer. Call ahead to people to let them know you will be delivering at a certain time, get permission to leave it on their door step if the weather is nice.
