Rocket into Scouting with Fall Popcorn Sales

  • Why Tasting Sessions are going to help rocket unit sales —

    • The purpose of a tasting session is to have each boy try 1 or 2 kernels of each flavor. Have the boys vote on which popcorn they liked best! Tally the votes and determine which flavors were everyone’s favorites. Have fun with it!

    • Use the tasting results as a selling tool! For example, the customer says “I don’t know what to get” the boy can say “My pack did a taste testing and we decided that Caramel was the best, but I like Jalapeno Cheese, so you should buy them both!”

  • Get ready for Lift Off with your Stomp Rockets!

    Kernels: For more information on your Unit Blast Off, go to page 8 of the Kernel Guide, found in your packet; or online at: http://legacy.winnebagobsa.org/springproductsale

    Each unit has a tasting kit. Sales soar when Scouts have tasted and can recommend items.

    Help your Scout Rocket his sales with these reminders:

  • Smile

  • Eye Contact

  • Greet the customer

  • Rehearse

  • Show enthusiasm

  • Speak slowly & clearly

  • Wear full uniform – this always gives a good impression!

  • Say Thank You!

GOOD LUCK SELLING THIS SEASON!!
