I learned a good lesson about
selling at one of my very first show & sells. Some older scouts were there and were
calling out (really shouting), "SUPPORT THE TROOPS!! BUY POPCORN!!!" like they were vendors
at a carnival or street fair. People walked out of
their way to avoid us and in three hours we had almost no sales and almost no
donations. The next day, I was with one
other scout. We both asked people nicely and politely if they would like to support
scouting by buying popcorn. In less than
half the amount of time, we sold more than DOUBLE the amount of popcorn and had
DOUBLE the donations, too. People wanted to buy from us!
So be nice and be polite!
Good luck selling!
