Scout Selling Tips

  • ALWAYS wear your Field Class “A” uniform. Everyone loves to support a Scout in uniform.
  • Pick a prize and set a sales goal to get to that prize.2015_Popcorn_Prizes
  • ALWAYS sell in pairs or with an adult. Never sell after dark.
  • ALWAYS act like a Scout and be polite and courteous. Wear a smile and introduce yourself.
  • ALWAYS walk on the sidewalk and driveway, not through the yard. Watch for traffic.
  • Never enter anyone’s house.
  • ALWAYS have 2 pens with you.
  • Make sure you know the different types of popcorn you are selling.
  • Be sure to tell the customer how the money will be used. (1/3 to Scouting, 1/3 to the Troop, 1/3 cost of popcorn)
  • Make sure you know when you will be delivering the orders.
  • The more people you ask, the more you will sell.
  • Place popcorn sale articles in your school, church and community bulletins/newsletters.
  • Remind your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and neighbors what a great gift popcorn makes
    for teachers, friends, co-workers, etc.
  • Save your Take Order forms so you can call on the same people again next year.
  • Tell them why you are selling.
  • Let them know how good the popcorn is.
  • Say “Thank You” even if they don’t buy anything.
