Girl Scout Cookies

Back when I was a kid, I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout, and one of the most exciting times was COOKIE SALE time!  As an adult, there were many things my kids sold (wrapping paper, cookie dough, magazines), but the cookies are great. 

Last year my little girl sold cookies for the first time and had a blast!  She learned about how to take an order, order fulfillment, and money management.

This year, her sales are great, and she has improved her sales pitch.  She has a greater confidence, and she is calling people who email me that they want cookies.  She calls them, and introduces herself and describes the cookies.  She has listened to many grown women describe the joy of selling cookie themselves.  She is able to communicate who to make the check payable to and where to mail the check.  She is able to tell people her most popular cookie (THIN MINT). 

She is very eager to deliver the cookies, and of course design her Thank You note.  She comes to my office to deliver the cookies that my co-workers purchase.  She drives around in the mini van with me to deliver the cookies.

She also knows that her parents stand behind her and support her.  We make the phone call on speaker phone, so she can take the order while talking.  I can hear the conversation, to make sure it is good.  I walk around the neighborhood with her (safety first).  We skip the houses that we don't know the owners (safety). 

She is very proud of herself and gaining skills that I didn't know one can gain from selling Girl Scout Cookies.

If you are interested in purchasing cookies, please let me know!  I will have Naomi call you if you are in our area!
