Identify the Need• Redirecting the river by Ken Krogue• River is the need to support community• Give your Scout the reason why the money is
better spent on a Scout• Unit needs• Customer’s needs
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Article on Steve Jobs recognizing the river of need for consumers and portable music. He didn’t try to create a need by creating a new product with the Ipod. He simply took a need and then diverted part of the need by opening a channel. Selling popcorn and relying on a person to be hungry is like waiting for rain to fill the river and then waiting for the river to empty into a lake before you dip your cup in to get some water out. If you recognized a person’s need to be a part of the community and community support, then you are dealing with an already full river., now you can wait for that water to get to the lake or you can divert some of that water your direction directly from the river. Many people give to persons standing on the corner—this is very profitable to the panhandlers, otherwise they would not be doing it. They aren’t “cute” so there isn't a cute factor going in their favor. Why do people give to them? They may be wretched, so sympathy may be a factor. Their ability to raise money may not even lie in them but in the person giving the money and the feeling they get that they helped someone or helped the community because there is no product being offered by the panhandler. Teach the Scout that he is the product, his community service is the product and to tap into the customer’s need to support the community.
Making It FunSame graph for scout learning. Its fun till it becomes work then fun level drops. Not until mastery of the skill do they get true enjoyment.

Presentation Notes
We have all seen this. Kid gets new video game or toy and plays with it nonstop for 3 hours then all of a sudden he hasn’t touched it in 3 months. Fun is gone, So how do we motivate a scout to move past the $200 in sales and get to $5000 in sales. By teaching the scout mastery of the sale. That it isnt about popcorn, its about him, that he has the strength, skills, and confidence to be the best. Teach disappointment, teach success, teach goal making, teach philanthropy.
Hard Sale vs Soft Sale• Mimi Ikonn. • Buy my popcorn-I’m selling popcorn (Hard Sale)• Soft Sales are when you sold something that the
person didn’t even realize they were going to buy• Frank Kardes and others* have concluded that a soft sell, with an implied
conclusion rather than an overt hard sell, can often be more persuasive. Soft sell is also less likely to be irritating to consumers
Presenter
Presentation Notes
How many fundraisers are you doing the Hard Sale way. Our Unit success has been because we practice the Soft Sale method. I talked with one of the parents about the his son’s sales and he did very well verses many other boys. When I asked the parent how he accomplished this, what was his method the response was brunt force, Constantly out there doing the hard sale method of buy my popcorn. what was interesting is that towards the end of the the 2014 season his son start to realize the soft sale method. I admired that and we spoke about how to quadruple his sales for 2015 by mastering the soft sale. Mimi fashion blogger making 1 million a year on you tube. Never mentions selling anything. Frank… Hard sale leaves people feeling guilty, over charges, lack of value in the product or done out of sense of responsibility. Soft sale produce a sense of comradery, participation by proxy, satisfaction of having helped….popcorn is inconsequential in this equation.

Presentation Notes
I think you all have realized now that the product is scouting….if you tell me that you wont sell popcorn because of moral objections to the cost/value ratio and you feel like you are ripping people off then you have just been selling popcorn. Lets talk cost value of Christmas tree sales. 100%+ mark up, only lasts two weeks, product only produces a memory, offers no other value, unless you mulch it when done. Popcorn, can produce same family memorize, family movie night with popcorn sitting on the couch…how many people here remember what movie they watched when they were 8 years old at home…how many people remember watching a movie at home and getting to eat popcorn with it. My mom would air pop and then drizzle butter over it and then we lick our fingers….that was a memory. How about stringin popcorn to put on the christmas tree….. If you sell your scout program then the fundraiser will be a success. The medium can be whatever you want it to be, candy bars, christmas wreaths, jelly beans, bake sales, camp cards, but make your product the scout.
What are you selling?• Scouting Experience• Leadership• Camping• Civil Service• Accounting• Communication• Philanthropy • Etc…

Responses to the Sale• The No-What is your ratio of no/yes per contact• The Yes- is what we strive for.• The Yes Questions?• The Maybe-disarm-divert• The maybe is a yes so do your
best
Presenter
Presentation Notes
1 of 10 buy with hard sale…that’s 9 Nos to every Yes. Depressing. Soft sale we get 6 of 10 people to the table with 7 of 10 buying product. That’s a 35% closing rate, verses 10%. So soft sale can increase your unit sales by a minimum of 25%..This ratio held true with all our fundraising mediums. Who knows what a Yes question is….psychology. Tell about rachel using yes questions. What causes a maybe and how do you head off the maybe….disarm and divert.

Presentation Notes
Why does my son listen to you verses listen to me? Tell the story. I never tell the scout he is wrong unless he is really really wrong. But how you say. It,,, no Steven your wrong, its $20....(embarrass scout in front of customer, create insecurity) say Steven are you sure about that price…(scout corrects himself, more likely to remember, praise him for figuring it out) Tell story about parent threatening to take away tv, computer---negative spiral, failed to address needs of child, created horrible attitude, difficult bed time and next day bad attitude, didn’t want to sell any more) Did you forget something---scouts always know they did and will tell you why they did.
Where to sell• No places in my area• Get permits if need• Build connections• Birds of a feather• Conflicts-multiple units• Businesses-be creative• Sports venues-conferences• Busy street corners• Carry Popcorn in your vehicle-you never
know when an opportunity will open up
