Build the BEST Kickoff
The kickoff is the single most important factor for
you to have a good sale
Have a 30-minute fun-filled Popcorn Kickoff:• Refer to the Leader Guide at
www.scoutpopcorn.ca• Make it FUN and FESTIVE!• Show parents what’s in it for them• Have giveaways and prizes• Prepare your Scouts• Have role plays and practice the sales script• Help your Scouts gain the confidence to
sell!
Build the BEST Kickoff
Want to close sales? Take the following approach when speaking to a potential customer…
Hi, my name is _____ and I’m a Scout with Group ___.
I’m selling popcorn so I can ______.
You can help me reach my goal by trying some of my popcorn!
Will you please help me?
More effective than asking, “Want to buy some popcorn?” don’t you think?
Communication
It’s important to follow up after your kickoff andthroughout the sale with important sale information.
Use email, social media, and meetings to remind families about:
• Sales goal for each Scout• Key sale dates• Scout rewards available

10 Commandments for a Successful Campaign
1. Support popcorn in your program
2. Plan your fall sale campaign dates as part of your group’s annual planning in May or June
3. Foster competition with youth, sections, groups, areas. * John and Vicky have a public
competition going on. Pssst. John isn’t looking… Buy popcorn from Vicky
4. Recognize sellers – make them the stars of your meeting and let everyone know they too
can be a star with effort
5. Spend money to make money – e.g. local rewards within your group
6. Support your youth with sales tools and tips
7. Use thank you cards
8. Focus on number of products sold and the youth’s effort, not on dollars
9. Be clear to parents and you on rewards and benefits
10. Remember that our customers aren’t buying popcorn, they’re supporting Scouting!
Safety Tips• Always wear your uniform
• Always sell in pairs or be accompanied by an adult
• Always act like a true Scout and be polite! You are the face of Scouting
• Always walk on sideways and driveways – NEVER across a customer’s grass
• Never carry large amounts of cash with you
• Never enter anyone’s house
• Remember to carry 2 pens and use a clipboard
• Make sure you know all the products you are selling
• Tell people where the money is going
• Don’t get discouraged! Just remember, the more people you ask, the more people will buy
• Remind your parents, aunts and uncles what a great gift popcorn would be for a teacher, friend or co-worker.
• Ask your parents to help. They might belong to a club or can take your sales sheet to work
• Make sure you say thank you and give thank you cards
• Keep your order form for next year so you can ask the same people next year.
Practice!• Focus on Scouting instead of the product. If they wanted to buy popcorn, they
could get it cheaper at the store
• Be specific on how the money will be used
• Maintain eye contact
• Be polite
• If someone says they’re on a diet or they don’t like popcorn, let them know it
makes a great gift or they could buy the gift of popcorn for our Canadian Forces
• Practice until you don’t have to think about what you are going to say
• Say thank you – even if they don’t buy.
• Most people who don’t buy popcorn have never been asked!
