Troop 78 Corporate Popcorn Sale and Salesmanship Merit Badge

Troop 78’s Popcorn Sales Approach

• We combine our popcorn sales drive with earning Salesmanship Merit Badge

• Scouts who are interested sell popcorn door to door to build their sales planning and selling skills

• Our Scouts lead the sales training program with Salesmanship Merit Badge alumni acting as sales managers for new scouts

• Scouts that are successful at selling and want to earn their merit badge attend merit badge training sessions lead by the Scout Sales Managers

• Merit Badge candidates participate in our Corporate Sales Program by presenting their popcorn solution ideas to leading business executives

• All Corporate sales are equally divided between the Salesmanship Merit Badge Scouts
