Did you attend Popcorn University?
Then you already know...

• Preparing to Sell –
  No order-taking before Saturday September 29!
• Know the products – practice selling them to your family!
  • 5-way & 3-way Tins are the best bargains – Chocolate Lovers, OSU or Decorator Tins.
  • The Chocolate Caramel Crunch and Gourmet Caramel Corn are like candy.
  • New products this year! 18 oz. Caramel Corn Light, and a military donation option.
  • The microwave popcorn is available in Regular, Light, or Kettle Corn, or 30 Pack.
  • Popcorn is sealed in bags inside the container. It stays fresh and makes great gifts.
• Know where the money is going – practice this with your family also!
  • 32% goes to Pack 74, to be used for Pack activities, awards, and supplies.
  • 35% goes to the local Simon Kenton Council to support local Scouting in Columbus.
• Set your sales goal – Great new prizes!!
• Each scout is encouraged to sell at least $300 in popcorn to avoid paying dues.
• Fill a complete 25-line form - receive a special commemorative patch and certificate. (Filling an entire form will result in an estimated $300 in sales!)
• Sell $1500 - receive $ 50 gift card (Wal-Mart, Coleman’s, Trail’s End Games & Gadgets)
• Sell $2500 - qualify for Trails End Scholarship program (once qualified - all future sales add money to scholarship)
• Select your sales area
  • Sell on or near the street where you live – that is where you probably know the most people, and it is easiest to deliver after the sale.
  • If parents can take orders at work, ask your Popcorn Kernel for an extra order form.
  • Sell popcorn to businesses (doctor, lawyer, accountant) which may appreciate buying popcorn as holiday gifts for their employees or customers.
  • Don’t forget relatives and your own family! Buy plenty to last all year.
• Selling Popcorn
  • Wear your Class A uniform shirt, and dress neatly in clean clothes
  • You should be accompanied by an adult when out selling; don’t forget to take a pen!
  • Do your sales pitch (Practice with your family!)
    • “I am (name) with Pack 74, and we’re raising money for Cub Scouts.”
    • “May I show you our selection?” (hold the sheet so the customer can see it, then briefly describe each item).
    • With Show & Deliver, tell the customer that you can give them their popcorn TODAY!
    • With Take-Order, “You may pay for popcorn now or when we deliver, which will be after December 1.”
    • “Popcorn also makes a great holiday gift!”
  • Use separate order forms for Show N Deliver and Take Order, so you know how much of each type to get from the Pack later.
  • Have the customer carefully PRINT name, address, and phone #. Show them where to enter the quantity.
  • THANK the customer for their order! If someone says No, thank them for their time.
