Slide 23

Selling Tips Get a neighborhood street map and map out your selling area Knock on every door on the street DONT go to houses with FOR SALE Signs out front (they tend to have moved before delivery) Please respect NO SOLICITING Signs Write down the addresses that dont answer so you can re-visit them later Bring a parent or buddy (less people say no when parents are present) Best selling times are 6:30 8:30 PM Set your sales goal and plan to achieve it Sell near the middle and end of the month (pay days) Remember, Military Donations must be paid for at the time of selling, there is nothing to deliver. We provide small American Flag Pins and Receipts if you wish to use them.

Slide 24

Practice Your Sales Pitch Share your goal with customers Base your goal on an experience or prize level you wish to achieve Summer Camp Day Camp Resident Camp Top Level Prize Top Sellers Party Etc. Share your success from previous years and the great experiences you had at your camp, etc. Remind the customer that they dont need to pay until deliver (some units require pre paid) Call ahead to regular customers and let them know you are selling and when you will be by Make sure they know when you will be delivering it

Slide 25

Product Knowledge & Supplies Familiarize yourself with the product lineup. Your order form has information about each one Carry lots of pens with you Bring change in case of cash payments Save your sales sheets from year to year The best sellers build a regular customer base Print out notes with you phone number and name and leave them in doors of houses that dont answer Laminate your product selection form, you can even blow it up larger at a copy center. Remember to total your sales and money each night and reconcile it

Slide 26

Delivery Tips Laminate your order forms so you can always read them, this will also help them last until next year When delivering, deliver to the pre-paid purchases first, do not mix them with non paid sales. Print out thank you notes, let your customers know how you reached your goal and how much fun you hope to have at camp next summer. Call ahead to people to let them know you will be delivering at a certain time, get permission to leave it on their door step if the weather is nice and if they have pre paid
