DID YOU KNOW…. • A Scout can EASILY sell $300 worth of popcorn in 2 hours (that is only 20 houses on average) & Scouts can do this with PRODUCT IN HAND!!! • ONE STOP SHOP
How To Meet Your Per Boy Goal Needs • Set your PER BOY GOAL based on your Planning & Budgeting. • If you tell families to sell $300, they will sell $300. If you tell them to sell $500, they will sell $500. Set the EXPECTATION!!! • Provide a copy of your Unit’s Year Round Program to EVERY Parent, just like you would in September at your unit’s recruitment night. This shows them “why” they need to sell this amount and what their son will get out of the program. • Don’t make per boy goals and selling an option. Make them an “EXPECTATION” because the boys deserve a quality program and boys deserve to learn Financial Responsibility. • Train Your Scouts • Conduct Role Playing Sessions with Scouts. This can teach them confidence and sales technique. Boys can only be as good as they are shown. Teaching them “how” to stand in front of adults and “selling” them on their product is KEY! After they are shown, have them practice.
How To Meet Your Per Boy Goal Needs Continued • Show-N-Deliver (ONE STOP SHOP) • By having product directly in hand, it makes life MUCH easier for the parents because they don’t have to go back. • By having product directly in hand, it makes it easier for parents to be involved that have never let their boys sell. • Will make things easier on the family checkbook because of the cost of gas. • Greater Customer Satisfaction. Not to mention they are more likely to eat the product and then need more. • Community Blitz • Divide up your Community or an area of town between your Scouts and canvas this area EARLY in the sale. This way each boy has an EQUAL opportunity because doors have not been knocked on. • Turn this into a UNIT PARTY!!! Start your Blitz with a Cheerleading Session and rap it up with a Pizza Party. • Missed House Tracking • Encourage your Scout families to utilize this tool so they know which houses to go back to.
QUESTIONS / DISCUSSION • On-Line Ordering • If you are new and need guidance with “on-line” ordering, please stay after.
