January Meeting

Heather planned our January meeting. The girls earned the "Meet My Customer" badge and a goal setting patch for all of their hard work.

Some of the girls made fantastic posters to use when selling cookies at booth sales. Heather then split them into groups and had them work on their selling technique. We went over safety issues (always have an adult with you, don't give our personal information to strangers, etc.) and discussed ways to boost sales.

They learned how to greet their customers, answer questions about products, make suggestions, and handle money. Many of the girls were pros at this but several of them offered up good suggestions to the group.

Heather then gave the girls their individual sales from last year and asked them to set goals for individual selling and booth sales this year. We also talked about the Troop to Troop program and asked them to consider mentioning to customers as well.

They all did a great job! If your daughter came home with lofty goals, it may have had something to do with the new American Girl Doll certificates they can earn. :)

Finally, we talked about our booth sales. Heather managed to get us some of the best-of-the-best! If the girls want to drive up their sales, they'll have plenty of chances to do it.

The troop goal is to sell 3000 boxes! That's a lot! But if these girls can't sell cookies, no one can.

I think they were working on their "business" faces to increase sales. :)
