Hit ALL of the Steps! Training & Supervision Use ALL Sales Methods Controls & Incentives Merchandising Locations
How Many Locations Do You Need? Location selling, using all of the principles discussed will generate sales of at LEAST $200.00 Per Hour!
DO NOT ASK FOR DONATIONS! People will give donations without you asking. Asking for donations will reduce the volume of sales. YOU WILL EARN LESS MONEY! When the sale is over, remaining donations should be used to scholarship your Special-Needs Scouts, to scholarship your MOTIVATED boys from families with a financial need, and then any scout unit within the Council that may need some help.
Limit Lower Priced Show & Sell Items ! Limit lower priced items to sell-out quickly ! People will gravitate their purchasing decisions towards the lowest priced item you show them
Merchandising Clean The Area First – Have the Scouts ask the store manager for a broom and dust pan. No Table – The Scouts will use it as a shield and it prevents movement Use empty cartons to keep product off the ground and to elevate display Pyramid the product. Be creative in developing an appealing display. Use posters with pictures of the boys involved in activities and the community. Do not put up signs with pricing!! DO NOT OPEN PREPACKAGED POPCORN AND SELL AS SINGLE UNITS! This action will reduce the dollar level of your lowest sale and you will lose donation dollars.
Appearance All Scouts In Field Uniform All Scouts Know the Presentation All Scouts are Courteous At All Times! Area is kept clean and unobstructed Everyone spoken to is shown appreciation for taking the time to listen!
The Presentation: 5 Principles to Success! Tell them who you are – First Name Only! Tell them where you are from. Tell them what you are doing. Tell them what they can do for you. Close the sale!
The Principles in Use Hi sir, my name is _______________ I’m a cub scout with pack _________ We’re selling popcorn to help raise money for our pack. You can help us by trying some of our delicious popcorn. You’ll help us, won’t you? Have the Scouts (and supervisors) practice until they don’t have to think about what they are going to say.
To Succeed You Must Remember One Thing! You Are NOT Selling Popcorn!
The Scouting Program! Isn’t this something you already believe in? You are Selling The Scouting Program! Isn’t this something you already believe in?
