HI Everyone!!!! Popcorn time is here and I wanted to send you some information to help you with your selling.

October 2 - Popcorn pick-up. Popcorn will be picked up and brought to the Neimon house at W317N641 Partidge Run, Delafield. You can get product from us Sunday October 4th after noon. If you need it Friday or Saturday, call to make arrangements. (262) 646-8813. You can take what you think you will sell. If we run out, we will order more.

October 23-Sale ends. Any popcorn you are not able to get from our garage, we will have to order. Call us to let us know what else you need.

November 20 - Popcorn pick-up and payment due. This is the day you get the popcorn you had to order. You also make sure you get payment from those who bought form you and get the money to the Neimons.

You can sell two ways: 1) come to the Neimons, pick up an amount of popcorn you think you will sell or 2) take orders and on October 23rd turn in the order and we will get the popcorn to you November 20th.

If you need any forms, Kerry Neimon will have them at Dousman. You can pick them up from her.

Selling

Don't go alone. Be accompanied by the adult. Be polite, wear your uniform and look sharp. If you have product, put it in a wagon so people can see if you have the product with you. People love that they don't have to wait. Also a statistic shows, 4 out of 5 people will buy.

Sales Pitch - Sample

Hello, I am Charlie DuBois from Pack 73 in Dousman. I am trying to raise money for my Pack. We use the money to pay for camp, scout activities, pinewood derby and to send packages to the troops. I am selling popcorn (my favorite is Microwave Butter), would you please buy from me?

Work with your scout to make sure they look at the customer, say their lines and then finish the deal (whether the person buys or not) by having the scout look at them as say thank you or good bye. If they do not do it right, nicely help them and then talk it over as you go to the next house. Note: selling popcorn is only part of it. the other part is a learning process for the scout on how to interact.

We are not selling, the wreaths or garland, only popcorn.

If you have any questions you can contact Mike or Kerry. When you have a chance go to www.pacba.org to read more about the popcorn sales, sales pitch idea, deadlines, etc. Everything you need is at the sight.

HAVE FUN. IT IS A DELICIOUS PRODUCT AND THE MORE WE SELL, THE MORE GREAT TIMES WE WILL HAVE THIS YEAR. THANKS!

Mike and Kerry
