37. How to Approach Customers
Want to close sales? Take the following approach
when speaking to a potential customer…
Remember, Scouts are helpful, kind, and courteous!
“Hi, my name is _____ and I’m a cub scout with Pack 86.
I’m selling popcorn so I can camp and pay for my scouting
program.
I have a goal of $600.
You can help me reach my goal by trying some of my popcorn!
Will you help me?”
More effective than asking, “Want to buy some popcorn?” don’t
you think?
38. Everyone loves a Cub Scout!
• Bring order forms to work!
• Call friends and family!
• Go door to door with a responsible
adult!
• Send e-mails from the Trail’s End
website!
• Ask for donations for the military!
39. Safe Selling!
• Wear your Class A uniform and closed
toe shoes at all booths and selling
opportunities.
• Boys should have a responsible adult
with them at all times.
• Collect money at delivery, not when
you take the orders.
