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?

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!

Safe Selling!
